Cheap flights from Manchester to Split

The shoulder weeks either side of the high season are usually the quietest on fares, and November is the cheapest month on this route in the calendar here. Croatia's summer draws the biggest crowds to the coast, so tickets for July and August tend to sit at the top of the range, especially around school holidays. Travelling in late autumn or early spring keeps prices down and the city calmer; if you must fly in high summer, booking well ahead usually pays.

Connections first: LOT Polish Airlines links Manchester to Split through Warsaw, Scandinavian Airlines through its Nordic hub, and Eurowings and Vueling Airlines via their home bases, which adds a stop but sometimes a lower fare. Easyjet, Jet2, Norwegian and TUI Airways fly the route nonstop, with the low-cost carriers keeping the base fare lean and charging separately for hold baggage and seat choice. Norwegian International, Helvetic Airways and the full-service options differ mainly in what the ticket includes, so weigh baggage and flexibility against the headline fare.

Before you land, sort out how you will cover the stretch from Split airport to the city centre, because the terminal sits across the bay from the old town rather than next to it. Buses timed to meet arriving flights run into town, and taxis or pre-booked transfers wait outside arrivals; in summer, allow extra time for the road along the coast. Ferries and catamarans to the islands leave from the harbour in the centre, so a smooth transfer matters if you are connecting onward the same day.

Country facts: Wikidata

• If you book separate tickets for a connecting itinerary, leave enough time between flights in case the first one runs late.
• Check whether hold baggage is included, since low-cost carriers on this route charge for it separately.
• Confirm which terminal and carrier your ticket names, as several airlines share the route from Manchester International.
• Check Croatia's entry and document requirements for your passport before you book.
• Compare the same trip across months, since November fares differ sharply from peak summer ones.
