Only flew this airline, despite reviews, because it was the only direct flight option, only to find that they moved us onto indirect flight increasing the travel time from approx one hour to over... See more

Absolutely terrible customer service. I couldn't make my flight, and even though the plane wasn't full (meaning I didn't cost them a ticket sale), Croatia Airlines outright disputed and denied my re... See more

Appalling

It is incredible that a national airline, the flag carrier of an EU member state, a European company, REFUSES to issue refunds to passengers whose flights have been cancelled. REFUSES! No refunds for six months. This is absolutely astonishing.

Dishonest staff, still waiting on refund

Our flight was delayed by 4+ hours. Law permits us to a refund due to this, CA agreed when we contacted them about it. They collected the information to process the refund and have still not processed it. They are now ignoring requests for updates... it has been 6 months since the last response! Desk agent also flat out lied to us when we asked about what our rights were. Once we were not in the airport and had a chance to research it more it we found this out. Bad practices. Doing the right thing will create repeat customers who say good things about your business, doing this will create angry customers who say bad things about you to everyone they can and will not choose to fly with you again! Very disappointing.

Absolutely Disgusted

I was disgusted to find out that my travel agents request for refund on our behalf for flights on the 23 & 27th August 2020 is unlikely to be paid until December. This disgusting airline demand our money up front before tickets can be issued but can stall us on refunds for as long as they choose. I would never book another flight with Croatia Air in my lifetime. This airline is a member of star alliance. What a joke.

YOUR MONEY IS LOST, NO REFUNDS FOR CANCELLED FLIGHTS!

I requested a refund for a cancelled flight several times and I got a rude reply that a refund at this time is not possible.

Please, please do not pay any money to this company!!!! In case of a cancellation and in this COVID-19 situation this is highly likely you will never get your money back! Think twice before making a payment.

I wish someone warned me before I did!

I definitely will not book a flight with them ever again!

My flight was cancelled. I made a mistake paying for this ticket to Croatia Airlines when they had the codeshare with Turkish Airlines, this flight was from Istanbul to Zagreb in June 2020

Not existing client according to Croatia Airlines but they took 150€ from my credit card

I booked a flight from Split - Roma for 27.2. on esky platforme. Due to cases of corona I cancelled my reservation 2 hours before departure, by telephone call with esky agent. He promessed me voucher in months that were coming. As the time was passing esky or didn't answer my emails or said that they are waiting approval from CA in order to receive a voucher. When I finnally realised it is blef and voucher and even ticket never existed because when I install esky app my ticket wasn't there I had esky without ticket in it. CA agents told me that they cannot help me because I m not in there database as a existing client. BUT THERE BOTH CROATIA AIRLINES AND ESKY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD FOR 175 EURO. CROATIA AIRLINES 150€ AND ESKY FOR 25€. How you cannot find me when you had transaction on my NAME AND SURNAME.
They both trick me, took my money and now playing fools, nobody wants to investigate what really happend.
I wouldn't recommend to no one both companies - ESKY AND CROATIA AIRLINES.
I have spent so many time on telefone with Croatia Airlines, only spending telephone impulses and have spent even more time emailing with esky but without any response but they side or when the responded that were lies that they sent my inquiry to CA and now I only must wait.
There is no my case for CA because I - Ana Meić Sidić, don't exist as a client for them! Very bad experience, I would give them both vote zero if there is!
I don't recommend to no one Croatia Airlines!

Emergency landing

We took a flight from Zagreb to Dubrovnik with Croatia Airlines. 20 min into the flight the pilot announces that the plane is defective and we need to make an emergency landing. Luckily the pilot was on spot and did a good job but the plane we were in was and old plane. You could see on the interiror it was all busted up. We went to complain and the official Croatian Airlines staff were rude and didnt care at all. In the end they ended up calling the police on us since we were angry they loaded people on a defective plane. Some fat slob and toothless officer came yelling at us saying he will arrest us?! They said " we can only know the plane is broken when in the air".... Wth?!? Never again with Croatian Airlines. And never again summer vacation in Croatia. There are much better destinations out there anyway.

Excellent service by Damir, Croatia Airlines

We had to cancel flights due to COVID-19 and the agent we used to book the flights was not helpful to issue vouchers to us for future travel. I contacted Croatian Airways and Damir was the person who assisted us. He gave us 5-star assistance and we have received vouchers for future travel. Without his excellent service we would not have received the vouchers. Thank you Damir, we really appreciate what you did to get vouchers issued to us.

Never again!

Never again!
It costs very much and it is very bad for this non service.
Not very friendly personal. And the eat is very bad. At Dubrovnik we were very long in the fill non Croatians foreigner fill. This is discrimination. At the flight back we were running for the plane because the bus was too late. No excuse from the staff. Not a nice plane. In Dubrovnik they look at my passport like I'm a Alien. They looked at me like I'm inferior. Don't go with that Airline if you are not Croatian.

We have reached out to cancel the four…

We have reached out to cancel the four reservations we have for this week and next, and they are not allowing us to cancel. Given the quarantines, we would have to fly there, sit in a hotel room for two weeks, and fly back. That doesn't work for us. I'm disappointed they aren't allowing a cancellation, only a rebooking without fee. This is not an option at this time, as we have no idea if/when we can return given all the unknown variables. Please consider allowing us to cancel for a refund.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. In total my journey was delayed by 17 hours. Staff were rude at every stage of the journey. I submitted a compensation claim and over 2 months later it still has been ignored. I tried calling the airline but was told there is no way to speak to customer services and the only was to contact them was by submitting an online form - every form I sent was ignored. I asked to speak to a supervisor and this was refused. Also, when I departed London I took my bag as hand luggage. On the return journey, I had the exact same bag and same weight, and was told I had to check it in at a cost of €40.

Avoid!!

The flights were late every time I, or anyone I know flew with Croatia Airlines. No apologies from anyone. Rude staff, my mum was charged for a suitcase twice. Couldn't check in online - again no apology. Will be avoided at all costs from now on, it is not worth the time and money.

Some praise and some minor nag

Booked flight from Osijek to Pula, and both Croatia Airlines and Osijek Airport websites listed the flight as available for online check in. However, after few broken links I called and was informed that "probably you can't do it online". It's a nag, we had to rearrange our schedule to be at the airport 1h and 30min early, as advised by Croatia Airlines. However, they opened up check in at the airport only less than an hour before the flight. Some wasted time, they could update their websites more often. They were nice, though.

Some praise... I arranged my wife a flight from Zagreb to Sarajevo via Croatian Airlines. The pilot couldn't land in Sarajevo due to really bad case of fog there. Plane returned to Zagreb. Croatia Airlines have arranged a hotel with breakfast for all passangers and they boarded the flight next day. I thought it was really well organized.

THEY WILL SCAM YOU WITHOUT HESITATION

THEY WILL SCAM YOU WITHOUT HESITATION. Avoid at all costs. My boyfriend and I had ONE checked luggage under his name ( you are allowed one free checked bag per person). We each had a carry on as well that we had no issues with when we travelled to our destination. However, on our way home, my boyfriend was hauled aside and forced to check in his carry on for a whopping $400!! Why? Because they claimed it was “too big” ( was a normal size) now, they could have checked it in under my name free of charge since I had no checked bag under my name ( I’m entitled to one free one) but they refused, and instead scammed my boyfriend for $400... the only reason he paid was because we were close to missing our flight. The representative at the Munich airport ( this happened in split) was appalled at what had happened to us and assured us that we were treated wrongly and to issue a complaint against Croatia airlines. They still refuse to refund his money and claim they can’t do anything since he already paid. DISGUSTING. Avoid at all costs.
