Currently, January is the cheapest month in which you can book a flight to Croatia (average of R0). Flying to Croatia in August will prove the most costly (average of R1 011). There are multiple factors that influence the price of a flight so comparing airlines, departure airports and times can help keep costs down.
Peak season:
During the months of July and August, Croatia’s drawcards – its islands – really come to life and attract thousands of visitors. This is also Croatia’s peak season, which means that the main cities such as Zagreb and Dubrovnik are at their busiest. You may want to consider flying to Croatia during the shoulder seasons of spring or autumn, which is when you’re more likely to book cheap flights and enjoy discounted rates at most hotels and resorts along the Adriatic coastline.
Off season:
Depending on where exactly you’re planning on going in Croatia, the off season can vary. Cities along the coast, such as Zagreb, experience off season during the months of January and February, but this is high season in the country’s ski resorts. Make sure that you book your flight tickets to Croatia well in advance if you’re planning a skiing holiday though since this will help you avoid the risk of overpaying for airline tickets and accommodation.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Croatia, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, July is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 24.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 7.0 C).
Croatia’s shoulder season, which is during the country’s autumn and spring months, sees great temperatures that often usher in thinner crowds. This may mean that flight prices and accommodation rates drop as well, which will help you plan the cheapest flight to Croatia. Whichever way you decide to sway your vote in terms of seasonal traveling, always aim to book your flight at least two months in advance in order to ensure you get charged the best rates.
