Ground transport is efficient; local Bus Route #28 connects the terminal directly to the Palanga city center and railway station every 30-60 minutes (approx. 15 mins trip, \u20ac1.50). A significant connection tip: a dedicated 'Flybus' shuttle also provides direct synchronized links between PLQ and Liepaja (Latvia) for those crossing the border.\n\nTaxis are readily available outside arrivals and take only 10 minutes to reach town for a fare of roughly \u20ac15-20. Major car rental agencies have desks in the terminal, which is the recommended way to explore the Curonian Spit The city-and-harbor transfer is the thing to organize first, because the island is small enough that the airport is only one part of the chain.\n\nThe terminal is modern and efficient, handling regular flights from London, Oslo, and Copenhagen. Arrive 2 hours early for all departures For a regional airport with a long runway, the real convenience is that you can get from the aircraft to the coast or city center without a complicated second booking. Once the car or scooter is sorted, Pantelleria moves very quickly from plane to village or harbor. A car helps.",

  "terminal_info": "Palanga International Airport (PLQ) is the primary aviation gateway to the Lithuanian Baltic coast, serving the popular resort of Palanga and the major port city of Klaip\u0117da. The airport operates from a single, modern passenger terminal that was significantly expanded with the addition of the North Terminal in 2007, designed to handle both Schengen and non-Schengen traffic with high efficiency. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, connecting western Lithuania to major European hubs like Copenhagen, Riga, and London via regular scheduled services by airBaltic, Ryanair, and SAS.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities across its single-level layout, including a quiet business lounge available for a fee and free unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the complex. Travelers have access to multiple caf\u00e9s and a snack bar, alongside specialized retail outlets selling local amber jewelry and traditional Lithuanian souvenirs. Following a \u20ac750,000 investment in late 2024, the facility now features advanced smart climate control systems and a protective exterior glass canopy, ensuring a comfortable environment for passengers transitioning between the terminal and the aircraft.\n\nGround transportation to central Palanga, located approximately 4 miles (7 km) to the south, is well-supported by local bus routes 100 and 101, which provide a 10 to 15-minute link to the town center. Official taxi services are readily available outside the arrivals hall, and several major car rental agencies like Europcar and Sixt maintain desks directly within the terminal for those exploring the Curonian Spit. The airport also offers convenient short-term and long-term parking lots situated immediately opposite the main entrance, providing a streamlined experience for both domestic and international travelers.",
