SHORT LAYOVER - PROBLEM?
 
Hi, I have a 35 min layover in Zagreb on my way to Dubrovnik from Split. Is this enough time? Is the airport big? What happens if my 1st flight is delayed and I miss my flight from Zagreb to Dubrovnik?

Unless something has changed Zagreb airport has to be one of the smallest airports I have ever been in.
All jetways are from one room.

They have quite an extensive duty free which I enjoyed looking around in.

If your plane arrives on time you should be fine. But I was there in October 2010. They could have expanded since then but if not it is really small.

Check the website of your carrier and see what the schedules look like between Zagreb and Dubrovnik, That would give you and idea if you have to take a later plane.

Thanks Sher, I hope all goes well. The next available flight will be late at night!

I wish you lots of luck. But the airport is a cinch.

Are you changing planes or just making a stop? Different situations; clearly the second possibility presents no problems at all.

Is there some reason you're not taking the bus? Or a boat? Both of those would be more scenic. And I'm wondering if you're saving time, when you include getting to the Split airport ahead of the flight and getting into Dubrovnik from its somewhat distant airport.

Thanks for the encouragement, Sher :)
Southam, I will be changing planes. I wrote to Croatia Airlines and they replied in less than 24 hrs that I would have enough time IF my 1st flight won't be delayed.
Mimar, I get nauseous on long bus rides. I've chosen trains and flying on my travels. The boat was not suggested b/c of the time of year (March/April).
Thanks everyone!
