ZAGREB, Croatia — Bargain-hunters plotting a European getaway this winter or spring have a new window of opportunity: Croatia’s flag carrier is knocking 30 percent off published fares across its entire network for five days next week.
How the Croatia Airlines sale works
According to information circulated by CroatiaWeek, the carrier will open its booking window for the discount from Sept. 24 through Sept. 28 2025. To claim the offer, travelers must purchase tickets through the airline’s website or mobile app and enter the promo code AUTUMN30 before completing payment. The deal applies only to the base fare—in other words, airport taxes, fuel surcharges and other fees remain unchanged. Still, the price break could shave a meaningful chunk off itineraries linking Zagreb and the coastal hubs of Split, Dubrovnik and Zadar, as well as Croatia Airlines’ European gateways that feed into Star Alliance connections.
Travel dates and blackout periods
• Eligible travel begins Oct. 26 2025, the day most European carriers switch to their winter schedules.
• The last date you can fly under the promotion is June 30 2026, covering Easter, early-summer city breaks and the first wave of Adriatic beach season.
• Croatia Airlines has not listed specific blackout dates, but standard fare rules—including minimum-stay or advance-purchase requirements—may still apply.
Where you can go
Croatia Airlines’ network typically spans more than 30 destinations, with year-round service to cities such as Frankfurt, Munich, Amsterdam, Paris, London and Rome, plus seasonal routes to Nordic capitals and Mediterranean islands. While the sale text does not limit the discount geographically, seats are subject to availability on each flight.
Tips for Travelers
- Search multiple date combinations to uncover the lowest base fare before the discount is applied.
- Compare the airline’s direct price with online travel agencies; the code works only on Croatia Airlines’ channels, but occasionally net cost differences emerge after taxes.
- If you hold Star Alliance frequent-flier status, be sure to add your number during booking to retain mileage accrual.
- Monitor baggage rules: Croatia Airlines’ Economy Light fares include only a small carry-on, so the money you save on the ticket could vanish if you later add a checked bag at the airport.

Why Zagreb makes a great winter base
The Croatian capital, mentioned in the sale announcement, routinely wins awards for its Advent market, where twinkling lights, skating rinks and mulled wine stalls transform Ban Jelačić Square from late November to early January. With the sale valid through next June, travelers can experience both the festive season and the first warm breezes along the Dalmatian coast—often in one round-trip ticket.
In a statement, the airline called the sale “an opportunity for travelers to plan affordable trips within Croatia Airlines’ network.”
