Why not see if you can check your bags through. NW/AF will interline
baggage with Lithuanian. Just verify that you have the PNR record locator
numbers so you can prove your connection is valid. And you then can take
the airport connector bus from 2E to 2B without clearing customs, or you can
walk between the two terminals in about 5 minutes - I've done it from AF to
Ukraine International without difficulty.
