Lithuanian Airlines has announced that it is to launch new flights from
Stansted Airport to
Palanga next month.
The route to the resort in western
Lithuania will begin on May 17th, with direct flights running twice a week.
Flyers will also be able to benefit from new services from
Stansted to Lithuanian capital
Vilnius, which will operate four times a week alongside existing flights from
Gatwick Airport.
"Direct flights from London to Palanga offer a splendid opportunity to visit the beautiful Curonian Spit, the seaport of Klaipeda and the popular summer resort Palanga and its Amber Museum, which has the largest amber collection in the world," commented Indre Trakimaite, director of the Lithuanian National Tourist Office in the UK.
Other attractions of interest in
Palanga include its botanical gardens, the Pajurio regional park and the Church of Saint Marie. The destination is also home to a number of annual events, as well as offering access to sports such as windsurfing, parachuting and volleyball.
