I have been researching for a RT to Crotia early May and so far, $1048 (Lufthansa) is what I am getting. Is this reasonable? Should I pay for the ticket now or wait for some spring sale? Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

not sure were your flying from but flights from UK to croatia are about£300 plus return so it sounds like a good deal

I think that sounds like an average price for direct flights.

I was playing around with the idea of going to Croatia in May and was looking at flight prices....if you wanted to save some $ and are a bit flexible, I saw that one can fly R/T to Germany for around $600 at that time, and then connect to croatia on the budget carriers...could be more convienient, because then you can go into Split and out of Dubrovnik, ie.

Sorry, forgot departure city. It would be NYC. Thanks for any feedback.

another good site is www.travelsupermarket.com
is searches all major and minor airlines etc for best flights (its also excellent for hotels and car hire.
