Cheap flights from London to Pula

October is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar shows fares for most of the year, from September through December and again from February to September. July and August are the busiest weeks, when Croatian coastal towns fill with holidaymakers and fares climb. Late spring and early autumn give you warm sea and quieter streets. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and UK school half-terms push fares up, so check the calendar before you fix your dates. Book early for summer, and leave winter bookings later, when demand drops.

Several carriers fly between London and Pula, and they fall into two camps. Ryanair and Jet2 are the low-cost names on the route, selling seat-only fares where a cabin bag, a checked bag and seat selection all cost extra. TUI Airways sells both flight-only seats and package holidays, so check what is bundled before you compare. Croatia Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Austrian, Air Serbia, Norwegian International and Edelweiss Air are full-service carriers whose fares normally include a cabin bag, which narrows the gap once you add luggage to a low-cost ticket. Always check whether your itinerary is nonstop or changes planes.

Pula Airport is the arrival point, the only airport serving the city, and it sits a short drive from the centre — close enough that a taxi or a transfer is quick, far enough that you will not be walking it with luggage. Shuttle buses and seasonal services run through the summer and thin out off-season, so if you land in spring or late autumn, arrange a transfer or hire a car before you fly. Taxis wait outside the terminal. On a connecting itinerary your bags are usually checked through to Pula; on separate tickets you collect them and check in again. Late landings leave fewer onward options, so think about the time of day you arrive.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport you are leaving from, because Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City are far apart and the transfer between them is not quick.
• On a Ryanair or Jet2 fare, add the cost of a checked bag and seat selection before you compare it with a full-service ticket.
• If your itinerary changes planes, or you booked the legs on separate tickets, leave room for the connection and plan to re-check your bags.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Croatia and check the entry rules that apply to your nationality.
• Book summer dates early, and look at October if you want the lowest fare of the year.
• Confirm that your transfer or hire car runs outside the summer season.
