Minimising Interruptions with Croatia Airlines

Since you don’t control the airspace or own the airline, delayed and cancelled flights are never entirely preventable. But, we have a few strategies that can reduce the likelihood of your route landing on the Croatia Airlines problems list:

Book morning flights: Opt for flights earlier in the day to minimise your chances of delays. Morning departures are less likely to be impacted by disruptions that may stack up throughout the day.
Choose direct flights: Whenever possible, stick to direct routes with Croatia Airlines. If you need to connect with other routes or other airlines, you increase the risk of missing a connection resulting in significant travel interruptions.
Check your route’s performance: If possible, when booking, avoid routes known for frequent delays or cancellations. Research routes in advance and use our lists above to make informed choices and better prepare for potential disruptions, like flight delays.
