Croatia has eight major airports:
Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik, Pula, Rijeka (on the island of Krk),
Zadar, Brac and Osijek. If you're flying into Croatia from elsewhere
in Europe, you'll almost certainly be flying to one of the first
five.
Flying to Croatia from the UK, Ireland or Europe

(you can also book BA flights, and non-direct
flights with other European airlines)
N.B. Croatia Airlines often offer very good value flights, somtimes even more so than "budget" airlines. You may not be able to fly direct to your final destination, but by flying via Zagreb you will be able to reach other Croatian airports on easy, connecting flights. Keep this in mind!

Most other major European airlines also
have flights into Croatia, including Lufthansa,
Alitalia, Austrian
Airlines, Air France,
CSA and LOT.
Some charter airlines operate seasonal services
from the UK to coastal airports.
Do any low-cost airlines
fly direct from the UK to Croatia?
Yes, after years of waiting, low cost airlines now fly
to Croatia! Over the past few years of operation, the low cost carriers have changed their routes of operation and some routes - unfortunately - no longer exist. But for 2009, these routes have increased slightly in number over last year. This year we have Wizz Air fly from London Luton to Zagreb; Easyjet for London Gatwick and Bristol to Split and Dubrovnik, and Liverpool to Dubrovnik as well; Ryanair for London Stansted to Pula, and Stansted, Edinburgh and Dublin to Zadar. See the above
table for full details.
Remember, you can still also fly to an airport in a
country near Croatia (e.g. in Slovenia, Italy, Austria or Hungary) or get an indirect
low-cost flight. Most of these flights involve a stopover in Germany. See our Getting There homepage
for more details.
And a further reminder: if you book early enough,
you can get great bargains with full-fare airlines! Budget
airlines may give you great flight prices, but the extra travel
costs (buses, trains, ferries etc.) in reaching your final destination
can really add up.
Flying to Croatia from outside Europe
As you won't be able to fly into Croatia directly,
the best idea is to first research which European city you can
fly to reasonably easily and cheaply. London, Frankfurt and
Rome are good cities to fly to in order to get connecting flights
to Croatia, but you might also like to consider other alternatives
to make use of budget airlines (see our Getting
There homepage for options) or to perhaps get ferries across
from Italy.
