Fares from Berlin to Vilnius (EUR)
Vilnius is an affordable, year-round city break, and fares stay low by long-haul standards. The summer months (June–August) and the Christmas-market weeks in December are the busiest and priciest; late autumn and February are the quietest and cheapest.

We do not quote a target fare for this route. Our price tracking holds no recorded observations for it, so a “typical” or “good deal” figure here would be an estimate dressed up as a measurement — so this page leaves it out rather than guess. The seasonal pattern above is the part we can stand behind; check the live fare for the number.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 1h 30m):
- Ryanair — several non-stops a week from Berlin Brandenburg; the cheapest headline fares, but the lowest tickets are cabin-bag only.
- airBaltic — non-stop on its Baltic network; fares run a little higher and can include a checked bag, but its cheapest fare (Economy MINI) is an under-seat personal item only — a cabin bag starts at Economy BASIC.
Because this is a short intra-EU route, the non-stops are both the fastest and, in practice, the cheapest option. A connecting itinerary via another European hub exists on paper but adds hours for no saving, so there’s rarely a reason to take one.
When to book & how to save
- Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the best short-haul fares; Ryanair prices tend to creep up as the flight fills, not down.
- Travel in the shoulder or low season — February, March and November are the cheapest, with returns often under €80.
- Compare the all-in price: a Ryanair light fare plus a checked bag can end up dearer than an airBaltic fare that already includes one.
- Fly midweek — Tuesday and Wednesday departures are usually cheaper than Friday–Sunday city-break traffic.
- Pack for cabin-only if you can — on a weekend trip a carry-on keeps you in the lowest fare bracket.

A taxi to the old town is quick and typically runs around €10–€15. Because the airport is so close, transfers are cheap and simple whichever option you pick.
