Split SPU
Split Airport (SPU) draws summer travellers from across Europe, and cheap flights to Split are usually shaped by whether you fly nonstop or connect. A nonstop flight keeps the day simple, while a connection can add hours and a longer wait if the first leg is delayed. Popular routes link Split with Krakow, Katowice, Warsaw, Chisinau, Berlin, Budapest, Lublin and Vienna, so choose a ticket whose arrival time still leaves a calm evening in town. Book early once your dates are fixed, especially for weekend departures and school holidays, because availability tightens on popular routes.

Getting to the city
The cheapest way into Split is usually the airport bus or a local bus connection, and it is worth checking the timetable before you leave arrivals. Taxis and private transfers are faster and simpler, especially with luggage or a late arrival, but they cost more and can be slower in heavy summer traffic. Allow extra margin if you are landing on a weekend or during school holidays, and avoid accepting an unofficial ride from anyone approaching you in the terminal. If you have a fixed onward connection, choose an arrival time that leaves room for baggage reclaim and the queue at passport control.
