Tips for booking flights to Croatia

Book summer Croatia 4–6 months ahead

Croatia is one of Europe's fastest-growing summer destinations. Dubrovnik and Split flights fill up fast for July and August — booking by February or March gives the best fares and seat selection.

From the U.S., connect via Frankfurt, Vienna, or London

No major U.S. airline flies nonstop to Croatia. The best connections from the U.S. are via Lufthansa (Frankfurt), Austrian (Vienna), British Airways (London), or Swiss (Zurich) to Croatian airports.

Consider flying into Zagreb and out of Dubrovnik

An open-jaw itinerary — flying into Zagreb or Split and departing from Dubrovnik (or vice versa) — lets you explore the Dalmatian coast without backtracking. FaresMatch advisors can check open-jaw pricing for you.

Frequently asked questions

Does Croatia Airlines fly from the U.S.?

Croatia Airlines does not currently operate direct transatlantic routes. Travelers from the U.S. typically connect via a European hub such as Frankfurt (Lufthansa), Vienna (Austrian), London (British Airways), or Zurich (Swiss) before boarding a Croatia Airlines or partner flight to Zagreb, Dubrovnik, or Split.

Is Croatia in the EU/Schengen area?

Croatia joined the European Union in 2013 and became part of the Schengen Area in January 2023. U.S. citizens can now travel to Croatia (and across the Schengen zone) without an internal EU passport check for stays under 90 days in any 180-day period.

What is Croatia Airlines' alliance?

Croatia Airlines is a Star Alliance member. Passengers can earn frequent flyer miles via Lufthansa Miles & More and other Star Alliance programs when flying with Croatia Airlines.
