Frequently asked questions
Is Split or Dubrovnik better for cheap flights?
Split usually wins on price and frequency. It has more LCC capacity from easyJet and Ryanair plus a larger seasonal network, so off-peak fares to UK and German cities tend to run 15 to 25 percent under Dubrovnik. Flightmussy's heatmap makes side-by-side comparison straightforward.
Which budget airlines fly from Split?
easyJet has the largest LCC presence at SPU with year-round and seasonal UK and Western European routes. Ryanair adds Stansted and other bases seasonally, with Wizz Air and Eurowings layering further options from May to October. Schedules thin sharply in winter.
How far is Split Airport from the Old Town?
The airport is in Kaštela, around 24 km west of central Split. The drive takes 25 to 35 minutes outside summer rush; in July and August expect 40-plus minutes. Pleso bus runs frequently to the Split bus station near the ferry port and Diocletian's Palace.
When should I book Split summer flights?
For July and August departures, book by mid-March. Croatian coast capacity is the most-demanded leisure market in the Adriatic, and easyJet plus BA fares climb steeply from April. Flightmussy's no-signup 12-month view shows the price ramp clearly across the calendar.
