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 05m, covering a distance of 5028 miles. The most popular route is Newark - Dubrovnik with an average flight time of 9h 00m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Croatia?

    The cheapest ticket to Croatia from the United States found in the last 72 hours was $508 one-way, and $423 round-trip. The most popular route is Newark to Dubrovnik and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $577.

  • What are the most popular destinations in Croatia?

    The next most popular destinations are Zagreb (33%) and Split (28%). Searches for flights to Zadar (3%), to Pula (2%) and to Rijeka (0.8%) 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.

Boarding was a sh!t show. JFK BOARDING was awful. The agent called three sections at a time Clogging the area then yelling at people to not block the walk way. How are you going to call delta one , premium select and comfort plus at once and the yell at highest paying passengers. Need to do a lot better and the flight attendants in the galley need to understand that their voices travel. They were talking about others and everyone in the cabin heard them

Uncomfortable seats on 14 hour flight. Mediocre food. On time and great crew.

Please see my lengthy description on MSP to Atlanta survey. Tailbone is killing me from old hard seats. Seat would not recline and were not near exit row. Entertainment did not work properly and couldn’t use. No audio and touch screen failed. 3 plus hours of discomfort in narrower seats than previous flight not in comfort plus. Very dissatisfied and deserve comfort plus charges refunds, at the very least, for both my wife and I. The plane needs to be retired. Please feel free to contact me directly for further details.

MSP to Atlanta was much better than Atlanta to St. Kitts. Paid $180 each for myself and wife for Delta comfort from Atlanta to St. Kitts. Seats were more narrow and obviously old and worn out. Tailbone is killing me. Seat would not recline. Seats behind reclined and we were not an exit row or in front of an exit row. Entertainment did not work in that the movie jumped forward and back and there was no audio. The plug in the arm rest was loose. Flight attendant tried “resetting” the video for my seat but no good. She never checked back. Someone else near me had the same issue. Touch screen was unresponsive. No where near as comfortable as MSP to Atlanta flight. 3 plus hrs. flight time without the basic amenities and not even remotely close to comfortable but paid for Comfort plus. I will be very disappointed if I have the same on my return “Comfort Plus” flight St. Kitts to Atlanta. At the very least my wife and I should be refunded for round trip “Comfort Plus” charges. Please feel free to contact me directly for more details.

public website still broken for years randomly blocking browsers with privacy options active after loading a page maybe once. check-in on laptop was almost impossible but eventually randomly worked. had to print pass at airport since couldn't get back in to load digital pass on mobile firefox or chrome. red eye flight so smooth onboarding, plenty of room to spread out, easy offboarding. onboard wifi instructions mention vpn can cause problems connecting but fails to also mention private dns. no printed or built in menu list, seems weird to require personal device to point at qr code link for menu which does not even allow direct ordering. people with health condition risk related dietary restrictions trying to avoid for example cholesterol and sugar are left guessing what they can order either way without nutritional info highlights (cranberry juice was minute maid cocktail with as much suger as typical can of soda). tap to pay wasn't working and always seems sketchy to manually enter card info. good movie variety, so limited tv was okay.

It wasn't really their fault it was the horrible winds and we just got unlucky.

Great experience overall. Check in at Austin was congested as they only have about 6 check in kiosks, one was broken, and there was a lot of Spring Break travelers.

The main person that was coordinating everything was a short white/light skin Spanish man and he was very rude. It honestly made me feel like it was everyone’s First day at work. His announcements were very not reasonable and they did not make sense. The stewardess on the flight that made the announcements she didn’t even know what she was talking about she sounded inebriated. There were no snacks or drinks on our flight there wasn’t even much turbulence. This flight was not enjoyable nor was it what a Delta flight should be and just this past week I flew with Delta 3 times.

The landing was bad and the hostess came two times and i was sleeping but when she served the person that nexts to me I woke up and she didn’t even asked me if I need any drink or snacks two times!!!!

The helpful attitude of the staff, and being a wheelchair passenger everyone was helpful and understanding. The trip was made comfortable by the upgraded seat which was given without my request, that was a great surprise. Thank you Delta.

I thought KLM was the best airline but the Lima - Amsterdam was 1 hours late, the Brussels - Amsterdam was 2.30 hours late and the Amsterdam - Lima was 30 minutes late

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.

It was nice to be on a legacy airline, people try at least.

The flight itself it was great nice food the crew were very nice and helpful, Checking in from Birmingham wasn't great long queues for bag dropped, And I had my hand luggage case taken away from me even though I requested to have it with me as I had breakables items. I was told I can not because of the length of the flight with no explanation at all no options was given for me to take my fragile items out of my case it was taken away with hold buggage I find the staff member who was checking me in very unpleasant !! Can we please be advise if the rules have changed about the the carry on hand luggage it will be easier to be advise on booking your tickect if we not allowed to take the hand luggage with me. Overall I had a good flight .

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.

The food quality is poor. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The entertainment program was limited. I experienced a delay of 30 minutes due to two issues. Passenger luggage had to be removed and there was a technical issue with the stairs not detaching from the aircraft. The pilot managed to compensate and we arrived only 15 minutes later. The luggage at Dubai airport was very slow. I waited over an hour.

The boarding was one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. The fault lays on Ohare Airport and not so much the airline. The waiting area by the gate was the size to accommodate a regional flight for 20-30 people and right next to a busy walkway. When you cramped nearly 300 passengers into that space is was unbearable.

Pros: "Crew was great, on time flight, clean plane."
Cons: "Entertainments options were shockingly few. Honestly have not been on a plane recently with so few and limited options of TV series and movies. I was extremely surprised. Wish I had know and I would’ve had more options for my family."
Pros: "Friendly crew, great access to a variety refreshments, robust entertainment library."
Cons: "No suggestions."

Quality of service on board was very inconsistent. FA service primarily seemed robotic and they barely engaged with passengers

I’m unclear why I had to pay extra for assigned seats as Turkish airlines did not honor the seating. We were placed across the aisle from each other on TK 34, and were seated behind one another on TK 694. Because my name was misspelled on e-ticket (Klawiter, instead of Klawitter) I could not log onto website to get the connection gate number in Istanbul. The monitors in the airport were a jumbled mess 1/2 Arabic and 1/2 English.

On line check in needs a lot of improvement. I tried and gave up.

Food not good, flight attendants not the best, not accommodating very ruff

the female flight attendant was racist towards me. I could tell she treated the two other passengers next to me with more softness.

Oh my god! For an13 hour flight they serve you food just one time. Also don’t be thirsty they give you a little small cup of soda to drink. They seem like their goal is to feed you one so they don’t have to be bothered with you. It quite surprise for such a long flight there are several times to eat at least three and the food was well lackluster. The food and lack of offering drinks which were always hot no ice provided.

We were traveling first class. Checkin counter lady and her manager, both were in bad mood and did not treat us well about checking in the handbag. The gate agent took care of it right away. I travel Turkish twice a year in first class. No one has ever refused to check in the hand bag. Not sure, why this agent and her manager refused. Everything else was excellent.

The 787 economy was a disaster for long haul. The space was too little compared to 777 or 747. Also the extremely low tray table behind the seat made any dining effort a nightmare. However, the movies were up to date, and the food taste was good, despite of terrible serving process caused by small space.

A little bit more comfort. It’s tight space around the seats. But all else is great and a smooth flight!

0ur assigned seats were given to other individuals when we boarded the plane. We were given new boarding passes with new seats all the way at the back of the plane. The reason given to us was that there were issues with the seats. We found out that there were no issues, and someone else's were seated on those.

Great seats assigned and comfortable, movies are good, food is delicious, great experience. No delays and they prioritize boarding children with parents which is plus.

they canceled my flight and we’re absolutely atrocious and helping me rebook

My flight was canceled. New flight is 40 hours later and I still didn’t get the flight from Frankfurt to Zagreb.

Great service. The flight was in great condition and the staff was very cheerful.

Check in crew in Charlotte NC was superb. There were 6 of them plus what looked like a supervisor, helping to answer questions and keep things moving. Never saw so many check in crew. Then some of them showed up at the gate later for boarding. Great. The flight was mediocre. The seats were small with little leg room. The screens kept coming on when we were trying to sleep and wouldn’t shut off. I know we paid far less than first class but does that mean we should be shoved in there??

Boarding was horrible. We were packed into a bus with few seats and made to stand for 10 to 15 minutes, then driven for 5 minutes on wild curves. Complementary food and drink was a tiny chocolate and a bottle of water. Seating was cramped. Aircraft had no video.

didn’t even get to go one of my returning flights cancelled and I wasn’t even in their system, vacation ruined thanks for nothing

The process overall was pretty seamless, and the crew were very friendly (especially Michael). Considering we booked expecting Lufthansa and the flight was operated by United, it was still a very good service and journey overall. The in-flight entertainment was great, with lots of quality options. One slight negative was that I had selected a vegetarian meal prior to flying, but received a vegan one. I think there should be more dietary options as it meant I missed out on some food that I would have preferred (and it seemed like the standard meals and snacks had a vegetarian option anyway). There was also a group of people who were moving around a lot and being generally disruptive at the quietest part of the flight, when the lights were off and most people were sleeping. I would have appreciated staff stepping in to encourage them to be mindful of others). Towards the end of the flight (which was very early in the morning in both time zones), the lights suddenly came on and breakfast was served. In my opinion, this was too early, and everyone was rudely awoken from sleep. After breakfast was cleared away, the lights went off again for about 45 minutes, allowing people to sleep some more. Then the lights came on again for landing. It seems like if they had served breakfast later, the lights on-lights off-lights on shenanigans could have been avoided, and people could have slept longer (and staff could have rested longer too).

Crew was rowdy and loud just hanging out in the rear of the plane instead of assisting passengers during boarding. During the flight the crew mostly hung out in the rear of the plane being obnoxious to a point of disturbance.

The accommodations are top-notch. The only negative was that both our initial flights were delayed, which caused us to miss one and almost miss the other. The staff immediately handled the missed flight and compensated us for the inconvenience.

The crew on this flight were attentive, efficient and friendly. It really made for an enjoyable flight.

The crew on this flight were excellent. They were friendly and attentive. It really made the flight more enjoyable.

They canceled my flight , they put me on a different flight that was delayed and the connection was lost . They lost my luggage. And now I’m stuck with any of my belongings.

British Airways canceled our plane and gave us a new flight scheduled to leave in only three hours, so we had to drop everything and rush to the airport. The new itinerary only left us a one hour layover in Madrid, which was too short because the plane landed late and so we missed our connecting flight. We were then booked onto a flight scheduled to take off 8 hours later, and were not given any compensation or remedial measures.

Seat layout, flight/club attendant service, food variety and quality could have been better. Business class Standard is visibly low compared with 6 other airlines that we have traveled for the past two years.

Despite many attempts to work out a change, neither British Airways nor Kayak nor Chatdeal would allow us to cancel or change this flight so we lost all of the payments when we were not able to fly. Absolutely terrible customer service. We will never use either of the services again.

It said that there was wifi. During the flight there was no wifi and while waiting at the gate the phone services already got cut off so I wasn’t able to say I am taxiing from the gate to my husband. This left me with an uncomfortable feeling. So I was waiting on the WiFi connection during flight and that never happened.

Asked for a wheelchair multiple times. Got denied the wheelchair in London layover.

They sell 1h /1h30min connection ticket that are impossible to make

Suite door was jammed but seat itself was very comfortable.
