Star1 links Lithuania to Dublin, London and Barcelona


New airline Star1 has now received all clearances and has started flying between Vilnius and London (Stanstead), Dublin and Girona (Barcelona).

The airline's new routes plug holes in the destinations that were left until filled after the winter debacle at Vilnius International Airport.

The small new airline is taking it easy so far with three weekly flights to Dublin, four weekly flights to London and two weekly flights to Girona.

From the company's website I can gather that they only have one plane at the moment, explaining the infrequent flights. It is however welcome news that there will now be flights direct to London and Barcelona, which previously didn't exist.

Currently the airline is only selling tickets on its own website as far as I can tell. It is not yet on Sky scanner.

Tickets aren't the cheapest in the European Union, but considering that they are new and that the entire airline industry is inflating its prices, they aren't too bad.

Including taxes, return flights to and from London end up between 700 and 1000 litas (200-300 euros). One strange thing on their website is that you cannot book tickets later than September this year, but that is probably because they are testing the water.
