Le rotte su Dubrovnik, Thessaloniki e Simferopol sono charterizzate.
I voli su Palanga non fanno altro che sostituire le rotte ex-Air Lithuania, fallita lo scorso anno e quelle di Amber Air che ha terminato le operazioni su alcune rotte.
É una delle principali mete balneari (grrr..
) e per il turismo ecologico del Mar Baltico.. d'estate è abbastanza affollata ed è popolare tra i turisti scandinavi, tedeschi e polacchi.Tra l'altro FlyLal è in corso di acquisizione da parte della LCC svedese Flyme:
