• Check the flight board first, since the visit is best when several planes are due; the airport site lists live arrivals and departures
• Parking lot beside the site, so it works as a short stop by car on the way to or from the airport
• Flightradar shows cargo flights too, which the airport board leaves out, so use it to time a visit for more landings

A playground built by the city next to Vilnius Airport's official planespotting site, on the south side of the runway. Kids climb the rope pyramid and ride the slides while passenger and cargo jets take off and land just beyond the fence.

The viewing site next door has a sunken part and a raised deck made for photographers, plus a shelter and benches.
