Kaunas is Lithuania's second city and a Ryanair stronghold, which makes it a pure Morocco-and-Cabo-Verde budget machine — €130 to Fes, a wall of sub-€175 fares to every corner of Morocco, and one Atlantic-island escape.
Kaunas Airport (KUN) is northeast of the city, and the cheap link is Bus 29: it runs from the terminal to the centre and on to the railway station, taking 30–50 minutes, for just €1 from the driver (cash) or €0.70 via the Žiogas app. Contactless bank-card tap-on is also rolling out. It’s a fraction of a taxi and perfectly reliable — for one of Lithuania’s most walkable centres, Bus 29 is all you need. From the railway station, onward trains reach Vilnius in about an hour.
As a base, Kaunas is laser-focused: Ryanair runs the show, and that means an unusually deep, unusually cheap Morocco network plus a sprinkling of other sun routes. If North Africa is your goal, few airports in Europe price it better.
Morocco, top to bottom
This is Kaunas’s specialty, and it’s remarkable — a near-complete map of Morocco at rock-bottom prices. Fes (€130), Essaouira (€135), Marrakech (€137 with a bag), Rabat (€145 with a bag), Tangier (€148 with a bag), Agadir (€152) and even Nador (€172 with a bag) — that’s the imperial cities, the Atlantic coast, the windsurf town and the Rif gateway, all under €175. Several include a bag. Pick a region and go; this is one of Europe’s best single-country budget networks.
The Atlantic escape
Beyond Morocco, one route reaches deeper into the Atlantic: Sal (€326 with a bag) in Cabo Verde — a mid-Atlantic beach island with year-round warmth, luggage included. It’s the longest hop on the board and the priciest, but a genuine winter-sun escape from the Baltic chill, and a natural extension of the Moroccan-coast theme that defines this airport.
Why Kaunas is so Morocco-heavy
The pattern is no accident: Ryanair bases aircraft at Kaunas and has built out a Morocco-focused leisure network from the Baltics, where guaranteed winter sun is in short supply. The result is a depth of Moroccan coverage you’d normally only find from a major Western European hub — and at Ryanair’s characteristically low fares. For Lithuanians (and anyone passing through), it’s the cheapest gateway to North Africa for hundreds of kilometres.
Bag fares: the Ryanair tell
The split is pure low-cost. Marrakech, Rabat, Tangier, Nador and Sal include a checked bag. Fes, Essaouira and Agadir are shown as base fares — cabin-only Ryanair tickets where a bag costs extra. On the cheapest fares especially, a gate-bought bag can rival the ticket price, so decide your luggage needs and add the allowance when you book.
