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.

From the UK/Ireland/Europe
In the past few years, the number of airlines operating direct, scheduled flights to Croatia has grown and grown. Great news for travellers! Eight airlines have direct, scheduled flights from the UK to Croatia: British Airways, Easyjet, Wizz Air, Ryanair, Thomsonfly , FlyGlobespan, FlyBe and Croatia Airlines, whilst Aer Lingus have flights from Dublin to Dubrovnik.

Try searching for British Airways flights to Dubrovnik below:

It is possible to book direct Croatia Airlines Flights with Expedia.co.uk.
(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! Sadly, some of their Croatian destinations have been cut for 2008, but a number of useful routes still exist. Wizz Air fly from London Luton to Zagreb; Easyjet have flights from London Gatwick to Split; Ryanair have flights from London Stansted to Pula and Zadar, as well as Dublin and Zadar. See the above table for full details.

Remember, you can also fly to an airport in a country near Croatia (e.g. in Italy or Austria) or get an indirect low-cost flight. 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.

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.
