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 10m, covering a distance of 5046 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 $822 one-way, and $357 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 $488.

  • 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 (32% of total searches to Croatia). The next most popular destinations are Dubrovnik (31%) and Zagreb (31%). Searches for flights to Zadar (3%), to Pula (1%) 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.

The boarding was great. With all the delays I was grateful to get on the plane and headed for home. There was no in flight entertainment. Seats were very uncomfortable! Unfortunately we were seated next to an exit row so there was no recline in our seat. Other than that it was a smooth ride.

The boarding was great. With all the delays I was grateful to get on the plane and headed for home. There was no in flight entertainment. Seats were very uncomfortable! Unfortunately we were seated next to an exit row so there was no recline in our seat. Other than that it was a smooth ride.

My flight was cancelled twice and the third time I tried to rebook it online I cancelled the flight because it looked like I would get a refund to my credit card. Instead I now have a credit. I was also on hold for three hours waiting for a representative and then disconnected. I will never fly delta again.

Flight for canceled. Horrible experience.. had to rent a car to drive myself up here.

Flights were terribly delayed. I was at At,anta Airport for over 4 hours waiting for my connection.

My flight consistently said it was on time and the plane didn’t arrive until after 30 minutes after take off and nothing was announced to passengers

The flight was canceled two hours before departure, it took over five hours to rebook us on another flight.

First, the flight was schedule to leave at 12:08. Delayed to 12:38. It is 12:58 and I am sitting at the gate. The staff are not communicating with us (just tell me it’s gonna be five hours if that’s the case, quit hufflepuffing around like you’re trying to board us when the plane isn’t even here and you don’t know where your crew are. I’m still waiting for any communication about the further delay. This is a rebooked flight from a cancelled flight yesterday, when the airline failed to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to hotel and cover transport for overnight cancelations. Asking about the food on the flight? What food?!? Delta doesn’t serve meals unless you pay for them and you really want me to give delta a high rating for passing out processed snacks (fun size!)? Can we be for real. Delta is cementing itself in history as one of the cheap, stingy, outdated, glory days are over airlines, and it shows. I took this flight knowing delta was going to provide below level service but this is beyond burgers!! I can’t believe a multi billion or dollar company looked straight in my eyes yesterday and I told me this wasn’t their fault and there for the extra cost in hotel and hundreds of dollars in Ubers are MY RESPONSIBILITY. The only thing I am at fault for is believing delta is reputable company worthy of my dollars. I’m not even sure I want to be compensated unless it is cash because I would rather die never traveling again than to put money in their pockets.

The flight was great. The crew were a little terse about the size of my bag. It fit fine.

I know it was not in Deltas fault. But numerous delays and cancelations. I requested a hotel voucher and was told they weren't available. The lady on my hotel shuttle did receive one from American. Why the difference?

Flight was delayed. Had to get rebooked. Diamond medallion but stuck in a crappy seat. Rebooked flight then got delayed again. Then when we finally boarded, we waited another hour for a new crew. Then landed in JFK and sat for another 40 minutes waiting for a crew to come to the gate to be able to deplane. Hot mess all around, which unfortunately is becoming the norm for Delta

KLM is my favourite airline. Never ever let us down.Staff are first class.

The plane. Airbus A330-200. Comfortable for a 7-hour flight. Seats seemed to have more legroom. I was in row 17. Flight was operated by Delta but was better than expected.

It was operated by Delta. Boarding took a long time. How difficult can it be? Overall decent trip. Liked the Salt Lake City airport. Better option than Chicago for transfers.

Quick and efficient as always. Air France managed to loose and damage my luggage that never made it onto my KLM flight.

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.

Awful. They cancelled my seats and demanded $1360 to rebook me

United failed me in cancelling flight to Chicago. Then put me on American Airlines standby to Miami for onward connection to RMO via IST. Standby failed. They looked me for Sunday morning 24 hours late at this point). Made it to Miami but Turkish airlines cancelled my seats and demanded $1360 to rebook the flights for the following day ! I went to United, spent two hours negotiating with Mr Ruis ? Who said he could do anything for me as he could fix problems that United caused in Miami. He suggested I call the 800 number. When I managed to.get through on my 6th call, I was on hold 2 hours and 30 minutes waiting for an agent when the call was cut off by United phone system. I went back to American. At last a lady , who had zero responsibility in this fiasco, helped me to find a replacement flight that night with Polish airlines to RMO through Warsaw at a cost of $968 including bag charge. I booked it with only a few hours to spare. The lady at American helped to recover and redirect my checked suitcase that had arrived in Miami a day earlier United customer service were awful. United partner Turkish airlines were horrendous and took zero responsibility. I ended up being late to my appointment overseas by 45 hours with zero compensation, no food vouchers, no replacement flights until I found one and paid for it myself. I reporting the entire fiasco to the secretary of state for Tennessee for law violations and refusal to remedy and compensate. I now need help to extend the trip by two days but United are not responding to communications

I was flying with Turkish Airlines from Tashkent to Dallas and from Dallas to Tashkent. In both directions the flights were late. I missed my connecting flight from Istanbul to Dallas in Istanbul airport because of that. That led to a no show case with a rental company in Dallas and I lost 460 US dollars. On the way from Dallas to Tashkent with a layover in Istanbul the plane was also late and I almost missed my connecting flight to Tashkent. Then my bag did not arrive with the same plane and only on the next morning flight from Istanbul. I was about to leave Tashkent the same day to Astana in Kazakhstan and then from there for work in Saudi Arabia. Luckily I had an excess in time before the next flight and I manage to get my bag back. Otherwise I would have missed 3 flights automatically because I couldn't travel for work without my bag and all valuables in it. So, overall, very bad experience with Turkish Airlines. Will never use these airlines again.

On my flight the menus showed different food and different was available. I think that was a miscommunication maybe. Other than that flight was wonderful.

Request for “strict vegan” as in the airlines meal selection was not strictly adhered to. My two travelling partners with their Asian vegetarian meals said that their meals were not Asian.

We waited 4 hours in the flight to take off but then the flight was cancelled.

It was ok. This flight was for my 80 year old grandparents and when they arrived to Beirut no wheelchair (as requested) was waiting for them. My grandpa had to pick up his own luggage, he got soooo tired. No one to help him as we submitted the request ahead of time

Terrible seats are very uncomfortable and narrow. Really hard time eating and painful buttons.. crew was very rud not allow anyone to stand not even to go to the toilets

Overnight flight in the old style Business class, but still very good.

I was in business class, without the business class amenities. Large seat with lots of legroom, but no TV or bed. Food was okay, but I did enjoy the Turkish red wine.

It wasn't clear that there will be additional charge for checked in baggage. Very, very disappointed making me pay extra $75. Food was not tasty and not healthy. Lufthansa used to be good, not any more. Unfortunately has gone down big time and continues to go down.

Numerous delays, missed connections flight. Then connection flights were late as well

Boarding was haphazard after people with small children or walking difficulties

The airplane was as hot as a sauna upon boarding. I was dripping with sweat. Something needs to be done about that.

Leg room is good, food is average, crew is not friendly

The crew was amazing! They were attentive and super polite, clearly very well trained in customer service. Very well run flight altogether!

Hated the food. Flew many business class flights on this flight little privacy should be more secluded Staff was great

It was horrible!! The plane was old and outdated. The AC was not adjustable and got me and my daughter sick because we couldn’t redirect it away from us. Absolutely no leg space. The food was garbage. Horrific experience! Shame on Lufthansa to use such trash airplanes.

This was not a UA flight. This was Lufthansa. Good experience overall

Very bad flights I lost my luggage for both sides

It took an hour and a half for luggage to be dlivered in London

We were seated in the rear of the plane. Buses arrived to take us to the terminal but there weren’t enough so we waited an hour to leave the plane.

Chicago to London flight was delayed an hour . Boarding process was slow . I missed my connection to New Delhi and My connection from New Delhi to Ranchi. Now come the really outrageous part! There was a flight from London to Bangalore that would have allowed me to reach Ranchi on time. I was about to but ticket from Bangalore to Ranchi when BA agent came back after talking to someone in back office and informed me that she cannot rebook me to London Bangalore flight as Bangalore was TOO FAR fro. Delhi. I waited 8 hr in London airport. I was flying business. Hope this review helps the airline. I was not asking for any money back for my missed flight. Anand Mohan

Access to movies was nice, food not bad, and landing was smooth. Cramming us in like sardines is not fun. A little more space to bend down to get a bag or not touch my neighbors arm because we’re so close would be better for a 9 hour flight. Whomever designed the seating and you, who bought these planes, clearly are NOT interested in customers’ comfort. So stop pretending you do. Also, if you want traveler’s to check their bags so there is space to store carry one, don’t charge so much to check baggage. Seriously?!

The leg room on the plane was the smallest I have encountered in all my travels. Ił only 5’4

We got our seats and was surprised at the half empty plane, so had a very good hostess and we enjoyed the whole flight back home, so the only thing we had to wait for was the passenger assistance that was not there and had to wait about 20 mins on the jetway.

The only issue I had with the flight is that dinner took a long time to come even regardless of the turbulence we experienced. The flight attendants kept disappearing while serving people and kept some people waiting. Which caused them to forget to serve me some tea. It was resolved eventually. Just a small complaint. Maybe there's other reasons but overall the flight wasn't bad.

The check in lady was the best I have seen at JFK she was very nice

The perfect jet stream back saved over 1 hour in the air.

Crew could not even try to accommodate my food request. Phone Charging USB thing was not working.
