Luggage

Yes. Please contact us and we will book your extra baggage for you at any time after you have purchased your ticket, but no later than 24 hours before your flight. In exceptional cases, baggage can be added up to 8 hours before departure.

The quantity, weight and size of hand luggage and checked baggage depend on the specific airline rules. Please contact us to find out which baggage is included in your ticket price.

No, you can't, as this does not comply with the airline's size and weight limits for hand luggage.

The number of pieces of free checked-in baggage depends on the airline's rules and your ticket class. If you are travelling on a scheduled airline, you will be allowed to take one piece of checked-in baggage free of charge in Economy Class. However, on some low-cost airlines, such as Ryanair (up to 3 pieces) or Wizz Air (up to 5 pieces), you will have to pay extra for your checked-in baggage according to their tariffs.

Some airlines allow duty-free purchases to be carried separately, but others may require that everything, including duty-free purchases, is contained in one piece of hand luggage. We advise you to check in advance the duty-free policy of your chosen airline.

Yes. If you are travelling with a baby (up to 2 years old) without an extra seat, you can take the baby bag and one extra item (e.g. stroller or high chair) free of charge. If you are travelling with a child (aged 2 years and over) for whom you have bought a separate seat, he/she has the same carry-on and checked-in baggage rights as an adult.

Most airlines allow passengers to take one piece of hand luggage free of charge. Please note that different airlines have different weight and size limits for hand luggage. You can also carry small personal items (e.g. a laptop or handbag), but some airlines require that all items fit in one piece of hand luggage. You can be charged extra if your baggage exceeds the weight and size limits.

If your luggage exceeds the weight shown on your ticket, you will have to pay extra for it. The exact cost of overweight depends on the airline's rules, but usually ranges between €10 and €20 per extra kilo. To avoid these extra charges, please check the exact baggage allowance on your ticket and stick to it.

The cost of extra baggage depends on the airline, the flight route, the duration of the flight and when you book your baggage. If you already have a ticket, additional baggage will cost less if you book it in advance with us or online than if you buy it at the airport. For extra baggage prices on scheduled flights, please contact us.

Airlines are not responsible for the carriage of valuables, so we recommend that you carry them in your hand luggage in the cabin of the aircraft. Valuables include personal and travel documents, money, jewellery, keys, musical instruments, computers, other electrical appliances and other items you consider valuable. Of course, you can always insure valuable items for an extra fee.

Yes, you can take your medicines on the flight, but there are some important things to note.
Although medicines are allowed in hand luggage, liquid medicines are subject to the standard liquid restrictions (no more than 100 ml per pack). If you need the medication during the flight, this restriction may not apply, but you will need to provide a doctor's note or prescription with an explanation.
If you are carrying prescription medicines, please carry the prescription or a doctor's note with you. This will avoid problems during airport security checks or when you arrive in another country.
If you are carrying medical equipment (e.g. insulin syringes, inhalers, etc.), please inform the airline in advance and have a medical document confirming the need for these items. For information on transporting medicines for personal use across the border of the Republic of Lithuania and receiving them by post, as well as detailed information on transporting narcotic and psychotropic medicines, please visit the website of the State Medicines Control Service. For further questions, you can contact the Service at +370 620 78646, +370 672 97016, +370 673 13124.

Yes. If you are transporting €10,000 or more in cash (or its equivalent in another currency) across the borders of the European Union or entering/exiting the EU, you must declare it to customs. Not only cash, but also cash equivalents, such as travellers' cheques or securities, must be declared. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in confiscation of the money/documents and penalties. For exact information and declaration procedures, we recommend contacting the Customs Service or visiting their official website.

According to European Union (EU) rules, you can carry alcoholic beverages without a declaration if you are of legal age (18 years and over) and the quantity does not exceed:

• 10 litres of spirits,
• 20 litres of fortified wine,
• 90 litres of wine (but no more than 60 litres of sparkling wine),
• 110 litres of beer.

These quantities are for personal consumption and may require the presentation of purchase receipts if customs suspect that the goods are for commercial purposes.

You can also carry tobacco products for personal consumption under EU rules, provided you are of legal age (18 years and over) and the quantity does not exceed:

• 800 cigarettes,
• 400 cigarillos,
• 200 cigars,
• 1 kg of tobacco.

If you carry larger quantities, you will have to declare them or provide proof of purchase that they are for your personal consumption.

Liquids are all liquid or semi-liquid products that must be restricted to hand luggage according to airport and airline rules. This includes:

• Beverages (water, juices, alcoholic beverages);
• Cosmetics (perfumes, creams, lotions, liquid make-up foundations);
• Hygiene products (toothpaste, shaving foam, shower gel, shampoo);
• Food products (yoghurt, jam, honey, nut butters);
• Other products (aerosol sprays, paints, glues).

According to the cabin baggage rules, all liquids must be packed in containers of no more than 100 ml and placed in a transparent zip-lock bag with a total volume of no more than 1 litre.

Liquids purchased in duty-free shops are not classed as cabin baggage liquids and are therefore not subject to any checks or limits. It is important that they are packed in a special sealed bag with a receipt inside and that you do not open the bag until the end of the trip. This is especially important if you have connecting flights, as otherwise these liquids may be classified as cabin baggage and confiscated. Please note that low-cost airlines usually only allow one piece of hand luggage. Therefore, goods purchased in duty-free shops together with other hand luggage must not only comply with the weight and size restrictions, but must also fit into the one piece of baggage allowed to avoid additional charges or problems at boarding.

Special baggage is defined as items that require extra precautions or exceed the weight and size limits of normal checked baggage. This can include musical instruments, pushchairs or wheelchairs, sports equipment (e.g. bicycles, golf or ski equipment, surfboards), etc.

First, buy your flight tickets. Then contact us or your airline and we'll add your special baggage to your flight.

Yes. You will need to provide a cremation certificate for the urn. The urn must be sealed and securely packed to comply with the rules for carrying hand luggage (if allowed) or checked baggage.
Please contact us or the airline directly in advance to make sure that the urn meets all the requirements and that there will be no problems during the flight.

The cost of special baggage depends on the airline, the destination and even the type of baggage. Prices usually start from €50. You can carry certain special baggage, measuring 135x40x35 cm, with you after purchasing an additional seat on the plane. Contact us to discuss your needs and recommend the best option.

For infants (up to 2 years old), a pushchair is free of charge. If you are flying with a child aged 2 or older, some airlines may charge an additional fee.Please check the conditions applicable to your baggage before your flight.

Yes, you can if the seat is specially adapted for flights. Many airlines allow car seats on flights free of charge.

All passengers, including disabled passengers, are subject to the general rules on hand baggage and checked baggage, which you must follow. In addition, you can: carry up to two auxiliary items (e.g. wheelchair, crutches, etc.) free of charge; carry in your hand luggage any essential medical equipment you may need during the flight.

To ensure a smooth flight, we recommend that you inform us or the airline in advance of your need for auxiliary equipment or special baggage.

Assistive equipment (e.g. a wheelchair or crutches) is neither checked-in nor hand luggage, so you will not have to pay for it. However, we recommend that you inform us or the airline about the need for assistive equipment or special baggage.

Yes, in some cases you can carry sports equipment as checked-in baggage, but it must comply with the airline's weight and size requirements. All sports equipment must be properly packed and fit in one piece of luggage. As some airlines may apply additional charges for the carriage of sports equipment, we recommend that you check in advance the rules for the carriage of checked-in baggage and sports equipment for the specific airline.

You can fly plants, but they are subject to strict requirements, especially if they are endangered species. Some plant species may require a special permit under CITES (Convention on Threatened Species). Additional fees may apply depending on the airline and flight rules. Please contact the Lithuanian Customs for advice on specific plants and their exact transport requirements. Please note that there are countries (e.g. Australia, USA, Japan, etc.) that strictly prohibit the importation of plants and food into the country.

Some airlines allow pets in the cabin or in the cargo hold, depending on the size and type of pet. Please note that not all airlines offer this service or it may only be allowed in certain destinations. Please contact us or the airline before planning your and your pet's journey for exact details.

Your pet must be tagged with an electronic microchip when flying. If you are travelling with a dog, cat or other animal, you must have a European pet passport stating that the pet has been vaccinated against rabies. Other animals may need a veterinary certificate and a travel permit. Additional documents may also be required, depending on the requirements of the country of transit or entry.

The cost of transporting a pet ranges from €60 to €200, depending on the airline, the length of the flight, the type, size and weight of the pet. Please contact the specific airline to check prices in advance.
