Amenities and tips
EPU
Scheduled passenger service
Check the Ruhnu timetable for the season
The airport advertises Pärnu–Ruhnu flights three times weekly in winter.
Use the small-terminal advantage
Pärnu is a compact regional airport rather than a hub.
Do not assume hub-style retail
The official passenger page emphasizes the connection rather than a lounge or large retail offer.
EPU · A small Estonian regional airport connecting Pärnu with Ruhnu island on a published winter three-times-weekly pattern.
TLL · Estonia’s ~3.49M-passenger Lennart Meri gateway 4 km from central Tallinn: one compact 24/7 terminal, classic ≤100 ml security, restored trams T2/T4 plus bus 2, and a Schengen-side Airport Lounge upstairs by Gate N1 — flat 2025 traffic after Ryanair cuts, with terminal expansion works through 2030.

One terminal — Schengen gate N vs non-Schengen before you settle
Follow Schengen / non-Schengen signs first; the paid lounge sits upstairs by Gate N1 on the Schengen side.
Eat landside or use the lounge — airside is café-scale
Café-scale airside F&B; lounge food helps cardholders; city dining still wins.
