In the meantime Wizz announced LTN-Palanga which has recently been followed by Ryanair announcing Palanga as well but from STN!
Yes. And KUN-STN was first Ryanair route in Lithuania and usually was the most expensive option to get to London from Lithuania (KUN-LGW, KUN-LTN, VNO-STN and VNO-LTN were usually cheaper ie. attracted lower yields).
As for Palanga and Wizz move to Kaunas there are rumours that the new pricing structure of Lithuanian airports (now under common management) will give discounts to airlines that operate to all 3 airports (VNO,KUN and PLQ). Sadly SQQ belongs to local council and is not included.
