FAQs - booking Croatia flights

  • Does Zagreb Airport in Croatia have any facilities for children?

    If you are traveling to Croatia with kids, Zagreb Airport is the ideal airport to land in as it has some facilities for passengers with kids. The airport has baby care facilities where you can attend to your child’s breastfeeding and diaper change needs. You can also utilize the children’s play areas airside close to gates 4, 5, 12, and 13.

  • What transport options do I have from Zagreb Airport to the city center?

    Buses are a common means of transit in Croatia. You can take the Pleso prijevoz airport shuttle offering transit between the Central Bus Station and the airport. The buses run at about 35- minute intervals. Zagreb Electronic Tram line 290 also provides transit between the airport, Velika Gorica, and Kvaternik Square. You can also rent a vehicle from the rental companies in the airport for transit across Croatia. Metered taxis are also available at the arrivals level on the ground floor in case you prefer taxi services.

  • Can I rent a vehicle at Split Airport?

    Yes. When flying into Split Airport from the US, using a rental vehicle for transit throughout the country is ideal. You don’t have to go to the city to rent a vehicle as the airport offers the service. Car rental agencies serving Split Airport include Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Oryx, and Dollar. You can visit any rental agency and drive out of the airport with your rented vehicle.

  • Does Dubrovnik Airport have any airport lounges?

    When flying into Dubrovnik Airport from the US, there is a lounge that you can visit upon landing. The Business Lounge in terminal A on the airside is accessible using a lounge membership program. You can access the lounge regardless of the class you fly. The lunge access is using a membership program.

  • Will I need a visa to enter Croatia?

    Like many other European countries, United States nationals do not require a visa to stay in Croatia for a duration of up to 90 days. However, unlike much of Europe, Croatia is not part of the Schengen Zone, meaning that your stay in Croatia will not affect how long you can stay in Schengen countries in the allotted 180-day time frame.

  • Are there nonstop flights to Croatia?

    Although there are flights available from the United States to several different cities in Croatia, the only nonstop flights between the two countries arrive in Dubrovnik. Nonstop flights from the US to Dubrovnik fly exclusively out of Philadelphia, so you’ll be facing at least one layover if you’re flying out of another city.

  • I want to visit the Plitvice Lakes, what city should I fly into?

    The Plitvice Lakes are among the most popular tourist attractions in Croatia, and they lie an almost equal distance from Zagreb and Zadar, which means that you can shop for the cheapest fare and take your pick of which city to fly into when planning your flight from the US. The route to the lakes is similar from both cities as well, as you’ll have to take a bus to the city’s central bus station and a bus from there to Plitvice.

  • What city should I fly to if I’m visiting Hvar?

    Hvar is a popular domestic and international tourist destination in Croatia, but it isn’t directly accessible by plane. To visit Hvar, you can book a flight from the US to either Split or Dubrovnik - both cities are equally convenient to Hvar. After your flight lands, you can board a ferry to Hvar from both cities, and the travel time from both cities is similar.

  • How long is the flight to Croatia?

    An average nonstop flight from the United States to Croatia takes 14h 12m, covering a distance of 5147 miles. The most popular route is New York - Split with an average flight time of 11h 30m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Croatia?

    The cheapest ticket to Croatia from the United States found in the last 72 hours was $832 one-way, and $535 round-trip. The most popular route is New York John F Kennedy Intl to Split and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $560.

  • Which airlines fly to Croatia?

    Air Canada, Lufthansa & Brussels Airlines fly the most frequently from the United States to Croatia.

  • What are the most popular destinations in Croatia?

    Based on KAYAK flight searches, the most popular destination is Split (33% of total searches to Croatia). The next most popular destinations are Dubrovnik (32%) and Zagreb (29%). Searches for flights to Zadar (3%), to Pula (2%) and to Rijeka (0.7%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Croatia

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Croatia flight deals.
  • Croatia has nine international airports, three of which are island airports. Zagreb Airport (ZAG) is Croatia’s main airport, the busiest, and the best option for visits to the northern part of the country. The airport is about 9.32 miles from Croatia’s capital. Following Zagreb in size are Split (SPU) and Dubrovnik (DBV). The next are Pula (PUY), Rijeka (RJK), and Osijek (OSI), followed by the island airports.
  • Zagreb Airport is Croatian Airlines’ primary hub. When flying into the country for a destination or stopover, your landing airport is most likely ZAG, as it handles most of the international flights into the country.
  • When planning to visit the Dalmatian coast and the western part of Bosnia, fly into Split Airport, the closest to the places. The airport is the fastest growing in the country and may have more amenities when you fly into it.
  • If you are visiting Croatia for the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, the most famous summer festival in the country, consider flying into Dubrovnik airport as it is closer to St. Blaise Church, where the event occurs. The event takes place between 10th July to 25th August; therefore, ensure you are in the city before the start date to avoid traffic.
  • If you are flying into the Split Airport, note that the airport has a new terminal reducing overcrowding; therefore, movement around the airport should be more accessible.
  • When booking a flight to Croatia, you’ll have a few international airports to choose from. International flights from the United States to Croatia fly to the cities of Dubrovnik, Split, Rijeka, Zagreb, Zadar, Pula, Bol and Osijek. Flights to Croatia can be found from most major cities in the US.
  • If you’re looking to save some money on your flights from the US, you may want to travel to one of the country’s airports that offers flights to Croatia for a lower price. Flying out of several cities on the east coast can get you access to cheaper rates, including New York City, Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
  • If you want to access the popular hiking and trekking trails in Zadar and Split, bear in mind that both cities host international flights from the US. The major airlines operating these routes are Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa, with connecting flights from Croatia Airlines.
  • When you’re flying to Croatia, there is a high probability that you’ll have at least one layover, with two-stop flights being just as common. There are a handful of cities that host the majority of layovers on flights departing from the US and landing in Croatia, which include Munich, Frankfurt and Rome.
  • The historic villages called The Castelas are located between the cities of Trogir and Split. If you want to visit them, bear in mind that Trogir doesn’t have an airport - you’ll have to fly into Split and take the bus or hail a taxi to reach whichever of the Castelas you’re staying in.

Delta is one of the best airlines I have flown

Delta is one of the best airlines I have flown

Made the Atlanta to Pittsburgh trip many times, with Delta no issues

I always fly with Delta. My friends tell me their horror stories of flying with other airlines. I just smile and say, “You should fly Delta”

I'm a larger, athletic guy (6'2", 260lbs powerlifter) and I found the seats incredibly uncomfortable with minimal leg room, especially in a window seat. Now, I full understand that being smaller may change my view but even if I was 80lbs less, my legs would be the same size and I was sandwiched between my seat and the seat in front of me.

Horrible. This was not first class. This was a connecting flight whi h was late. My original flight never came. I hated the fact that delta gave me a connecting flight from New York to Orlando Florida. No meals and the television screens were not working. There wasn't even any power to charge your phones. This is NOT FIRST CLASS DELTA!!! Do better next time!

This flight was ridiculous. I had to have a connecting flight from New York to orlando Florida??? The flight left late and because it was a short flight there was no first class amenities. I had one alcohol drink. The flight crew was fine, but it sure did not feel like first class. Delta to me dropped the ball by giving me a connecting flight. By the time we got to Raleigh we would have missed the next flight. Lucky for me the flight never came so now I was stuck waiting for a later flight that came in late also.

Our flight was delayed in Atlanta. The staff could have gave us an explanation for the delay and how long it would be.

I liked the ease of checking in, luggage check in, wheel chair assistance, boarding and flight.

On my way home I had a layover. The flight from ATL to CLT was amended 5x while I was waiting. I could have driven home sooner. Overall from Dallas, Tx to Charlotte, NC I started my trip at 4:30pm, I didn’t get home until past midnight. I know things happen, but 5x to make me run back and forth in an airport from different terminals is excessive. I also upgraded to comfort + , I didn’t feel it was worth it. There was no benefit

Overall from Dallas, Tx to Charlotte, NC I started my trip at 4:30pm, I didn’t get home until past midnight. I know things happen, but 5x to make me run back and forth in an airport from different terminals is excessive.

The food from Lagos to Amsterdam was was very poor compared to AMS-YYZ

The flight was delayed for 2 hrs. Because they didn’t have a crew to fly. And it is not a first time for klm to do that. Last time they cancelled my filght and rebooked me 3 days later. Not reliable airline

Seats are fair enough for medium tall people. Good food all the trip. Fight attendances are warm

no issues at all... Kudos to the food. This time was really really good

The food was ok. The crew seemed like they were cranky. I had one guy get mad at me for passing in between the storage area to get to the other toilet. I can understand if it's not allowed but reprimanding me like I'm a student saying "This is the last time!" was not appropriate. During my meal time, there was a French family around me. No problems there but when we usually have meals, they are supposed to put their chair in the upright position. These people did not do it and the steward did not tell them to raise their seat in the upright position. However, I was told to do so! So, me and another person next to me had to eat with the monitor almost touching our faces. Furthermore, a lady in front of me was putting her feet up and preventing another elder passenger from putting her seat back. To make it worse, she was continuously hitting her back into her seat, shaking my monitor while I was watching a movie. A crew member did speak to her about it but then she accused me of pushing her seat forward! The crew member gave me a death stare and told me to stop pushing the seat forward. I did not even touch her seat at all, if I did, she would know it. Her boyfriend also stood up and tried to push her seat even further past the maximum decline to no avail. None of these people were reprimanded but the steward, some bald guy, was extremely friendly with them and did not even try to instruct them to do anything until it was time to land. I resisted the urge to really argue with them because I would have obviously been seen as the aggressor (I have no idea why). I hardly said anything on this flight except "more wine please" and "sorry" if I bumped into someone accidentally. Overall, it was an annoying flight and I had to resist the urge to yell at the steward and the people he was overly friendly with. The happiest moment of this flight was leaving it.

Overall a good experience. We were disappointed when we had to check our carry on due to the plane being full. KLM hadn’t notified us and we had valuable items in the carry on but they still made us check it. Some of the food was great and some was mediocre. Crew is really kind and funny.

The worst airline. Cancelled flight 30 min before boarding and rebooked on flight after 3 days.

I travel frequently. The flight was late again... KLM should really try and be on time

The plane was clean and the staff was friendly. Food and drinks as expected on international flights. The entertainment system was old style, with a pullout controller, and selections not as extensive as on other flights.

One of their staff was so rude with discriminative. Such a reputed airline shouldn't hire such kind of arrogant attendants.

TERRIBLE! Staff was unfriendly, rude, and demeaning. One flight attendant touched me to grab the complimentary blanket off my neck because I couldn't take it home, while a bunch of other people took theirs home. I have never been so ill treated. I am not happy at all. And flight was delayed, no information until short notice for everything. Lost an entire day at my destination. I expect a full refund for that experience. Never will fly with them EVER again

All was good. I think the back of the plane should be boarded first. It would be faster. Minimal waiting time behind passengers loading their carry on baggage.

My return flight has been changed to JFK from EWR without any notice or reason

This was my first time flying SAS and used them for 4 flights. The crews, flight and communication was outstanding. I flew premium economy and was extremely impressed by their SAS lounges. I will 100% ise SAS again. Everyone was so pleasant!

Flight was delayed 3 hours. Pilot cancelled flight under 4 people volunteered to change their seats to economy from business class.

I paid for wifi and it worked about a total of 5 min. Feel ripped off

Good friendly service and food - The seats in business class are old, too hard and not very comfortable.

My seat was not the one I paid for, the crew was very curt, and the cabin was extremely warm.

Old plane with terrible business class seats - good food and service. Boarding was a joke with business class boarding last.

Best airline to travel on a budget- really like their reasonably priced access to the SAS lounges where available.

Disappointed everytime. The app doesn't load the boarding passes. They have lots of agent that seem to be busy doing nothing with a long line waiting to get paper boarding passes. Food choices are poor. Entertainment is less than entertaining.

Horrible experience. Nothing to give to kids to keep them entertained.

I think I have bruises on my kneecaps. Do the seats have to be so close together these days? And if they are so close they really shouldn’t recline. I think when the gentleman in front of me reclined, the back of his head was on my chin. That being said the crew were always caring and polite, and the flight was on time and very safe. So I’m grateful for that.

I always try to book flights that don’t charge for baggage. Yet I was charged $75 for this flight.

Trouble keeps changing the time and I was booked different flight without knowing it was bad experience

I dropped my wallet under my seat on this flight with all of my money and credit card. I requested to be able to go back and retrieve it but Lufthansa denied my request. I went to the Customer Services and they called Lost and Found but I was told nothing found would be turned in until around 12:00pm. My next flight was leaving so I was unable to check to see if my wallet was turned in. I will never fly with Lufthansa again.

My concern is with Flight: 441 IAH-FRA I was very cramped in my seat and the person in front of me was reclined. I pulled my wallet out of my purse and when finished I did my best to cram it back into my purse. Our flight was very delayed and we were rebooked twice and lots of airport time. As I got off the flight I noticed that I had dropped my wallet( containing all my credit & debit bank cards + 240 US dollars & 240 Euros. I spoke to customer service & Lost &Found. I was denied access to look on the plane. Therefore I have been without money and given no help. Paula Bjork 503.545.6698

Dinner was good by air travel standards but breakfast was too light and heavy on carbs/sugar.

Used to love Lufthansa, but Rowe are too close together in Economy and passengers are allowed to recline their seats so far back it is impossible for those behind them to even reach for carry-on essentials during flight - except for meal service when flight attendants ask for seat backs to be raised, we can’t sleep on planes so this flight was most uncomfortable ever! Rod Rose

So far so good. I missed my flight because of the Lufthansa diversion. United helped me to figure out how to get accommodations from Lufthansa for my long layover. They help me book appropriate onward flight.

Excellent! Great flight attendants, good food (in business class, at least), very comfortable. Touchscreen and remote wasn’t great.

In economy and food was ok, but with limited leg space (and I was in a 2 seat configuration) it was difficult to eat with a tiny seat tray. I spilt wine on my trousers. First time on British Air (I usually fly Turkish Air) and in a 777. Heathrow was pleasant but changing terminals awkward.

Starting with the flight Cairo to London the plain was so poor no entertainment at all uncomfortable seats although it’s 5 hours long,then an American airline plain took me from London to Miami it was a bad experience the crew most of flight time not available and they asked us to help our selves for any snacks if we need. From Miami to London actually was perfect flight with a huge plain and perfect crew but from London to Cairo was horrible plain with stiff fixed seats not movable no entertainment or wi fi very poor Menu which is unacceptable for a business class

I've done hundreds of flights in my life, and this flight was one of the best I've ever taken, From beginning to end, everything went smoothly, professionally, and with a smile and friendly attitude from all employees I interacted with. The food was delicious (and free), as were the drinks. There was just a genial and effective way in the way that British Airways organized the flight -that reminded of days in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, when flying was a fun, and exciting adventure. I enjoyed and had confidence in the abilities of the flight crew, I'll be flying British Airways several more times this summer. Thank you so much for the great experience! Cheryl Olso

My baggage did not arrived with me. Took 3 days to get it after so may calls and follow up

Terrible! I missed my flight to my final destination and British airlines and American Airlines keep pointing fingers on each other’s. Nobody wants to take responsibility

Terrible. Flight was 3 hours delayed and I missed my other flight to my final destination

Overall, terrific service, accommodations, and experience. Only reason comfort was rated lower was because it was difficult to keep a comfortable sleeping position for the overnight flight, but I also had an economy seat.

Not sure if the crew were experiencing something unknown to me,but the service of passing water was non-existent.In addition,please take consideration when providing yogurt as alternative for breakfast as some of us, could be lactose intolerant.. thanks

Very cramped seats in economy, difficult to get comfortable with your legs and feet and back. The seat width is ok but I’m average size. Food is HORRIBLE. Crew is friendly. Delays and very tight connections made it tough for navigating. We would have missed our connecting flight if it wasn’t delayed too. The terminal transit was slow and normally every 10 minutes before 8pm, after 8 pm is every 30 minutes!!!!! No free wine or drinks!! Below average attitude.
