The nearest airport to Novi Sad is Belgrade Airport, to which British Airways and Serbian airline JAT fly to. Depending on how far in advance you purchase your tickets, and whether you opt for a one-way (if you're planning on doing travelling in the region before/after the Festival) or return, you may get a good deal or your may find tickets with these airlines rather expensive!

However, new for 2010 is a route from London Luton to Belgrade with budget airline Wizzair. From the week of the 5th July 2010, they will have flights on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays; the latter two options are a bit late but the first two days of the week are ideal! (Remember, the festival starts on Thursday 8th July.)

If you can't find available flights on the above options, or find them too expensive, do as many other Festival goers do and take advantage of low cost airlines' flights to destinations in nearby countries - and then simply take a transfer (organised or otherwise) to Novi Sad. Below are some details.

Budapest (in Hungary) and Zagreb (in Croatia) are probably the easiest places to fly to; each is about a 5-hour bus ride away from Novi Sad. Buadpest has the slight edge over Zagreb, however, in that it is served by more flights from the UK.

Other possible cities to fly to include various Croatian coastal airports, but these then involve a long bus transfer to Novi Sad. Osijek, just over the border in Croatia, is - geographically - very close to Novi Sad but no airlines fly direct from the UK, and transfers can be difficult to find.
