If you travel from Europe, it's easy as there two flight operators - Ryanair and Easyjet with direct flights into Croatia.
Probably you won't have any problems but be prepared as most of our airports are small with bad service. Transferring from airport to other destinations can be a pain as you will have to book a cab or rent a car to get there.
We had a bad experience last February when we had to fly from Pula (Croatia) to London (UK). Due to the heavy snow in many parts of Europe, the flight was cancelled. We rang them before we left home as Pula is about an hour's drive away from Rijeka. They confirmed the flight was still running as scheduled. However when we reached the airport, angry passengers were told that their flight to London was cancelled. Ryanair informed stated on their website that we could claim refund for cancelled trips but as the Pula-London route was new. It was not listed on the website. We couldn't even file for a claim. And we lost a few hundred pounds rebooking our tickets. As we were connecting in London to Singapore, we had to cancel our London flights to Singapore. So we avoid flying from Croatia to London from then on till someone can assure us that the service has improved.
My advice is: Fly into Trieste (Italy) and rent a car (from Italy as it is cheaper) or catch a coach to Croatia. All these services can be found at the Trieste airport.
If you decide for a rent a car its about 120 pounds for a week,depending on the type of car. Please inform the car rentor that you are driving to Croatia as they will have to issue you with additional insurance for taking the car out of Italy.
If you are flying from other countries outside of EU, book flights that fly into Italy - Milan or Rome. From there, you can catch a train (book in advance) or flight to Trieste.
Hope to see you here! Do drop us a note if you need additional information!
