Aspire Pre-Flight Hospitality, the lounge brand owned by Swissport, now runs a rebuilt Aspire Lounge and a new, more private room called Luxe by Aspire.\n\nAccording to Vilnius Airport's website, the new lounge has welcomed guests since August 14, 2026. Aspire announced the opening in early October, calling it a newly refurbished and expanded lounge. Lithuanian news agency BNS, as reported by [LRT](https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/verslas/4/3067213/swissport-vilniaus-oro-uoste-atidare-2-mln-euru-vertes-verslo-kluba), says the project cost €2 million and that this is Swissport's first business lounge in the Baltic states.\n\n## Two rooms, two price points\n\nThe upgrade splits the space into two tiers.\n\n- **[Aspire Lounge](/lounges/vno-aspire-lounge)** is the main room, open to all travelers. Aspire describes it as fully refurbished.\n- **[Luxe by Aspire](/lounges/vno-luxe-by-aspire)** is the new upscale room. Vilnius Airport says it has deep armchairs, premium drinks including free sparkling wine, and a seasonal menu from the lounge's chefs. Aspire calls it a private space with more room to work and relax and a curated tasting menu.\n\nVilnius Airport's website lists single visits from €36 for three hours, with the lounge open from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Check the current price for each room when you book.\n\n## What you get inside\n\nVilnius Airport and Aspire list these features:\n\n- A work area with a seven-seat conference table, single desks, and soundproof phone booths.\n- Free Wi-Fi and charging points throughout.\n- A family area with a children's play zone.\n- A ventilated smoking room.\n- Showers. The airport's page says they cost extra.\n- A kitchen on site serving seasonal and regional dishes, and coffee from Kavos Broliai.\n\nAccording to Aspire's lounge page, the lounge sits in the Schengen area. Travelers on non-Schengen flights can use it before they go through passport control for their flight.\n\n## Who gets in free\n\nYou do not need a premium ticket to use either room. Anyone can buy a visit. Some travelers get in at no extra cost.\n\nIn a post announcing the opening, Lithuanian Airports said that passengers on certain flights of LOT, SAS, [Turkish Airlines](/airlines/%74k), Finnair, airBaltic and the [Lufthansa](/airlines/lh) Group may use the [Aspire lounges](/programs/aspire-lounges) free. It said members of some international loyalty programs can, too. It asks travelers to check their ticket terms or ask at the Aspire desk.\n\nOur directory lists the main Aspire Lounge as open to [Priority Pass](/programs/priority-pass) and [DragonPass](/programs/dragonpass) members. It lists Luxe by Aspire as open to DragonPass. As always, entry with a card depends on space on the day, and the airport warns that walk-in access can be very limited at busy times. Booking ahead is the safer bet.\n\n## My take\nA single, larger lounge with a paid upgrade gives travelers a clear choice: pay a little for a seat and a snack, or pay more for a quieter room and a glass of sparkling wine.\n\nDirk Goovaerts, Swissport's chief executive for Continental Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India, said in Aspire's announcement that demand for premium airport hospitality keeps growing, and that Swissport is investing in spaces that give travelers more choice.\n\nGintarė Norvilaitė-Tautevičė, interim CEO of Lithuanian Airports, said the airport was \"delighted to present the extensively refurbished lounge.\"\n\nYou can see both rooms on our [Vilnius airport page](/airports/vno).
