Croatia Airlines relaunches its London Heathrow to Rijeka, Croatia route



From April 20 to October 19, 2011 Rijeka (the airport on island of Krk) is linked to London (Heathrow) with direct flights of Croatia's national carrier, Croatia Airlines.



Direct flights from Rijeka to London will operate on Wednesdays, and take just over two hours. Fares are available for booking now and start from £154.60 return, including taxes. Rijeka is also served by Ryanair with a new flight from London Stansted.



Departure from Rijeka is at 9.50, and the arrival in London (Heathrow) at 11. The plane from London (Heathrow) takes off at 11.50, landing at the airport on the island of Krk at 15.05.

For anyone using Krk/Rijeka airport to come to Istria, follow signposts indicating Mt Ucka tunnel. Signs for Pula may take you down the Eastern coastal road, which is not ideal if you want the West coast of Istria, as you cannot easily get over until you get down as far as Plomin.
