If you’re looking at getting to Exit Festival, you will be looking to fly to the nearest airport to Novi Sad – which is Belgrade Airport. British Airways, Wizzair and Serbian airline Air Serbia all fly to Belgrade from the UK. Depending on how far in advance you purchase your tickets, and whether you opt for a one-way (if you’re planning on travelling in the region before/after the Festival) or return, you may get a good deal or you may find tickets with these airlines rather expensive.
If you can’t find suitable flights with the above-mentioned airlines, 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.
Osijek in Croatia (just over the border with Serbia) would be a good choice. However, at present, it is only possible to fly here via Zagreb with Croatia Airlines.
Budapest (in Hungary) and Zagreb (in Croatia) are probably the next easiest places to fly to; each is about a 5-hour bus ride away from Novi Sad. Budapest has a slight edge over Zagreb, however, in that it is served by more flights from the UK.
Other possible cities to fly to include the various Croatian coastal airports, but these then involve a long bus transfer to Novi Sad.
