New Wizz Air Dubrovnik Summer Routes, Aegean Dubrovnik Winter Flights Announced

April 23, 2022 - The latest flight news to Croatia as two new Wizz Air Dubrovnik summer routes have been announced, and Aegean Airline has decided to run between Dubrovnik and Athens this winter, too. 

The Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air announced two new routes from London and Wroclaw to Dubrovnik Airport, reports Croatian Aviation

The London Luton - Dubrovnik line will operate from July 4, four times a week, every Monday, Friday, Wednesday, and Sunday until the end of this year's summer flight schedule, or on October 28.

The Wroclaw - Dubrovnik line has been announced from August 4, twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays, until the end of September, or September 25, 2022. 

A320 and A321 aircraft have been announced on the routes. Wizz Air is planning a total of 5 scheduled international flights to Dubrovnik Airport in this year's summer flight schedule. In addition to the two mentioned, there will also be lines from Vienna, Rome, and Warsaw.

Greek airline Aegean Airlines has made some operational changes in its flight schedule and announced flights between Dubrovnik and Athens next winter.

According to EX-YU Aviation, Aegean Airlines plans to continue operations on the regular seasonal line between Dubrovnik and Athens in the 2022/2023 winter flight schedule.

Aegean will start operations on the line in mid-May this year (May 17) and will run until the end of the first week of January 2023.

The flights were originally planned until the end of October, or the end of the summer flight schedule. Croatian Aviation adds that it will take several months for these flights to be realized, so there is a possibility that Aegean will subsequently close sales on the winter line depending on bookings. 

Four flights a week have been announced this summer. From the beginning of July, Aegean is running a regular line between Thessaloniki and Dubrovnik.

TAP Portugal Flights to Zagreb Return in June after 5 Years, Wizz Air to Connect Warsaw-Dubrovnik

May 21, 2021 - The latest flight news to Croatia as TAP Portugal flights to Zagreb return next month, and Wizz Air announces its second route to Dubrovnik Airport.

Croatian Aviation reports that TAP Portugal returns to Zagreb on June 2! After more than 5 years, the Portuguese national airline will resume traffic on the route between Lisbon and Zagreb Airport.

The airline announced it would reintroduce this line in March last year on March 28, but flights were delayed from month to month due to the global pandemic. The airline has now confirmed that it will start regular flights on this route from June 2.

The line will operate three times a week from the beginning of June, every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Although A320 aircraft were originally announced on this route, the airline announced E190 aircraft with a capacity of 106 seats in June.

A total of 2,756 seats will be offered on this line between the two cities in June.

From the beginning of July to the end of October, higher-capacity aircraft (A319, 144 seats) have been announced on this route, so in that period, TAP Portugal will offer 14,976 seats.

From the beginning of June to the end of October, the Portuguese national airline between Lisbon and Zagreb will have 17,732 seats on sale throughout the summer season.

TAP Portugal flight schedule between Lisbon and Zagreb:

Lisbon - Zagreb / 08:35 - 12:40 / 3h 05min

Zagreb - Lisbon / 13:25 - 15:50 / 3h 25min

After TAP Portugal resumes traffic on this route on June 2, Zagreb will become the only Croatian airport from which it is possible to fly directly to Lisbon. In the summer of 2020, there were no direct scheduled flights between Lisbon and Croatian airports.

Regarding travel restrictions due to the global pandemic, entry into Portugal is possible with a negative PCR test. The test result must not be older than 72 hours before the start of the trip.

Return tickets in July with departure from Zagreb can currently be purchased for approximately 130 euros, and the airline often offers discounts on its routes. A few weeks ago, the promo price was only 90 euros.

Furthermore, Croatian Aviation reports that the Hungarian low-cost airline, Wizz Air, has announced its second route to Dubrovnik Airport. This airline has not operated to Dubrovnik for several years, and a few days ago, it announced its first line from Rome (Fiumicino Airport).

Now, tickets were released yesterday on the Warsaw and Dubrovnik line.

The Warsaw - Dubrovnik - Warsaw line will be in operation from July 3, twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The line will be in operation until mid-September (18.09.), and 23 aircraft operations have been announced.

Wizz Air will offer almost 8,300 seats on this new route between Dubrovnik and Warsaw. In addition to this Hungarian airline, the Polish LOT and the Czech Smartwings still operate between the two mentioned cities.
