Cheap flights from Manchester to Dubrovnik

Demand on this route follows Croatia's coastal season: flights fill up through the summer months and around school holidays, while autumn brings the lowest fares, with October the cheapest month in the facts. The price calendar here covers a full year, from October through to September, so you can see how fares step up month by month. If your dates are flexible, shoulder-season trips in spring and late autumn usually cost less and the old town is calmer. Booking before the school summer break starts, or shifting your trip into October, is the simplest way to keep the fare down.

What the fare includes is where the differences start. Jet2, TUI Airways and Easyjet run direct services from Manchester International, and Ryanair also flies the route as a low-cost carrier, so checked bags and even cabin bags are usually priced as extras. Vueling Airlines, Aer Lingus, Norwegian, Norwegian International, Swiss and Aegean Airlines appear as connecting options, and a full-service carrier such as Swiss will typically include more in the base fare than a budget carrier does. Compare what each ticket covers before you decide, since a slightly higher base fare can work out cheaper once baggage is added.

Arrange your transfer into town before you land. Dubrovnik airport sits a fair distance from the old town on the coast, so the first hour of your trip is a transfer decision rather than a walk. Buses meet scheduled arrivals and run into the city, taxis and pre-booked transfers wait outside the terminal, and a rental car makes sense if you plan to explore the surrounding coast. In the summer months the road into town gets busy in the middle of the day, so allow extra time if you have a onward connection or a fixed check-in. Keep the airport's name, Dubrovnik, in your booking confirmation for transfers you arrange in advance.

• If you book connecting flights on separate tickets, check that the connection time is long enough and that a missed first flight does not strand the second.
• Check the baggage rules of the airline you choose, since low-cost fares often cover only a small cabin bag.
• Check which terminal your departure uses at Manchester International and how long check-in takes in the summer months.
• Check the documents you need to enter Croatia and that your passport meets the validity rules.
• Check October and the shoulder months on the price calendar before you settle on summer dates.
