They didn't inform me that my flight is…
They didn't inform me that my flight is canceled and that I can get another flight 4 hours later. I spend 4 hours on airport because of that and just one phone call would be enught, but I guess it is too much to ask.
Avoid at all costs - miserable, filthy and overpriced
We’ve been traveling for 24 days on various airlines including Emirates and BA and Qantas across Europe who have been amazing. Then we couldn’t get a flight from Split to London with anyone other than Croatia Airlines. Expensive for a 2.5 hr flight at $300 each. Full, cramped, and filthy plane. Only given water and some crappy crackers to eat. They offered nothing else and provided no service whatsoever. Rude, miserable staff at check in desk, never again! Avoid if you can!
Huge lack of passenger security!!!
What a day! So i was supposed to fly from split to munich in the morning at 8. they usually using this 50 year old bombardier planes.i fly this every week due to bussiness. So we were boarding. Pilot said we habe technical problems. Everybody unboarding and waiting; after an hour everybody board again; still problems and everybody unboard again. After 1.5 hours everybody board again. Already 5 hours delay. So we were taking off. After 10 minutes and a few miles we had problems again and returned to split. Then everybody had to go out the airport and change tickets. Now finally i fly via frankfurt to munich but only because i have a full flex bus ticket. I will hopefully arrive after 15 hours in munich. I can assure that since 30 years flying around the world i never experienced such a huge lack of unprofessional handling and rude behavior. Not speaking of the really missing responsibilities about passenger security. I will try to avoid now Croatian airlines as good as possible. They are by far one of the worst airlines i flew with. I hope my story help you deciding not to fly with them and chosing other options. My best Tom Novy

HUGE delays in flights
Flight from Rome to Split (OU381 23rd July 2024) - 3 hours delayed!!!!
Now the flight from Split to Frankfurt (OU412 25th July 2024) is already 1 hour late!! I have a connecting flight!!!!
Awful awful experience - if coming to Split has to be through Croatian Airlines, I would rather not be coming back at all
Worst Airline and Customer Service
Worst Airline and Customer Service. My Place was cancelt due overbooking. I was Not informed. I was told i would get 250 Euros. I am Wartung since 6 weeks. No Money and no reply.
Horrible
Horrible. For no reason cancelled my return ticket, which I paid for in full, 130 Euros. The same day the wanted to charge me 270+ for a seat that I paid for before, and I didn't get a refund for my "lost seat". I have never seen someone so scummy.
As someone who is not a frequent flier…
As someone who is not a frequent flier and is petrified of planes, I must say that I had an amazing experience with Croatia Airlines. First, on the flight going back home on 21st May, there was a slight delay because of a storm above the city we were supposed to land and the pilot and crew were very professional and apologized multiple times even though it was of course not their fault. The cabin crew was extremely professional, polite, and efficient, they were always smiling and helpful. A huge thank you to one of the stewardesses who helped me calm down by talking with me (it was my first night flight and there was some turbulence so I was really scared), she was very pleasant and patient and helped explain everything that was going on so I could feel safe because she knew I don't have much experience flying. Overall the whole process with the airline went smoothly and efficiently. I will fly again with this airline for sure. A huge thank you to everyone at Croatia Airlines for helping me overcome my fear of flying a bit and making the process a wonderful experience.
They lost my baggages
They lost my baggages, they didn’t answer my phone, terrible service, not helpful
As many others have stated, they lose bags
As many others have stated, terrible customer service when they are the ones who have lost my bag! No correspondence, they hung up the phone on me multiple times, they outsource the bag search to others who couldn't care less, are incompetent or who are grossly overworked (the bag deliverer) because the airline seems to lose bags regularly. Somehow on a direct flight bag went to wrong country and took days to find! No apology, no compensation, not their problem. Just avoid like the plague.
First and last time I book a flight…
First and last time I book a flight over CroAirlines, They cancel both of my flights not even sending offer with new flight! Needed to call company to find out what is going on, after they forget to send e-mail with new flight details and needed to call again , after same with flight back, they let 3 seat plane in offer to choose seats and pay and over night you there going in small 2 seat plane, what they realize moment before we fly is broken and have issue, we missed connected flight thanks to this and in fear flying in same small loud plane! We have trauma after all this, I love to fly and do not have fear of flying but after this trauma after paying expensive straight flight they sell some cheap connected flight and put you in broke plane, I will rather walk from one side of europe to visit home than to book a flight over them..
A terrible airline.
A terrible airline.
They lost our baggage, didn't answer their phones, didn't reply to our emails and ruined our vacation.
To make it even worse, they only wanted to refund 50 percent of the costs we had incurred, which was entirely their own fault.
No food and drink service
I give them 2* as the 2 hour flight from London Heathrow to Split was ok, nice cabin crew and apart from the free cup of water and tiny bag of crunchy snacks there was a full drinks service (tea, coffee, alcoholic and non alcoholic) and snacks available for purchase. But on flight back to London yesterday (2 1/2 hours so plenty of time) we got the free water/snack early in the flight but no drink or food service whatsoever, unbelievable! I’m sure most of the passengers on this full flight would have appreciated the option to buy a drink or something to eat! I was seated at the rear of the plane and the 2 cabin staff members were just twiddling their thumbs! At the end of the flight I voiced my opinion rather loudly (which didn’t go down well with some nearby passengers but I’m sure I was saying out loud what most other people were thinking! Even the UK low cost airlines all provide a full food drinks/food service, so come on Croatia airlines this is not good enough 😡
Brussels-Zagreb-Split
Flew Brussels-Zagreb-Split in business. Crew very nice, flights were all late but I was able to make my connection. The food on board is nice and cute and Croatian but super tiny. And the lounge in Split has no food at all (nuts and those wrapped croissants...).
Few very bad experiences over the years
I'm really sick of dealing with them. They have cancelled so many flights over the past few years and they don't even bother to notify you of this.
Totally unreliable and extremely unprofessional. Just a terrible company to deal with, I hope I will not be doing the same in the future and would not recommend anyone to even try it.
We arrived at Dubrovnik airport…
We arrived at Dubrovnik airport yesterday. One luggage was missing. We made a claim. They deliver us the missing luggage today in Montenegro. Such a good customer service.thank you🤗🤗
Nie wieder, kein support
Never again! I got sick and with confirmation of my treating doctor, wrote many emails a week before the flight to croatian and didnt get a reply or just some copy-paste answers. When I called them they were not really intrested in my issue and just said they would cancel my ticket so they can sell it again without any refund or compensation. even though croatia is supposed to be in the EU, don‘t expect them to follow the rules. Never again with this ‚airlines‘
I travel every month min twice and this…
I travel every month min twice and this was suppossed to be my first flight with this company, we had to change our flight time and I asked them to leave 3 tickets reserved and one cancel, they have no reserve option and they don"t refund, I heard this frim extremely rude lady over the phone. I am still trying to get at least some money refunded please don"t make my mistake don"t book, also they are not cheap I booked because I expected better service for the price I gave.
Lost luggage, no response on emails or telephones
10 days ago we returned from a trip without luggage. Until today there is still no information. When registering, they immediately told us not to try to call them on the phone because it doesn't work. we tried using other numbers to reach the lost luggage department, but the others say that we can only use that number, which is not working. we still try to call, it rings but no one answers. and so all day. two pieces of luggage are involved, without any trace. they also do not respond to e-mails. what frivolity of an airline.
They lost our bags
They lost our bags. Can’t file a claim with them because they keep blaming other airlines when it’s them. Rude and not helpful. I have never seen a worst airline and people in customer service. No response in emails. Don’t fly with them. I will forever avoid this airline
