Croatia holidays: Good flight deals to be had this year

Croatia sailing holidays and other trips abroad could be made cheaper this year by promotions and discounts on air travel, an expert has claimed.

Simon McNamara, director of industry affairs at the European Regions Airline Association, said there could be a "corner being turned" with regards to demand for flights.

In order to encourage this trend, air carriers are expected to cut prices and launch promotions that will benefit travellers taking Croatia sailing holidays and other overseas breaks.

"Airlines will be discounting tickets in order to attract the numbers in terms of demand once again," Mr McNamara said.

"They will be hoping to inspire customer confidence over the coming year - so there could still be some good deals to be had."

People planning Croatia sailing holidays can choose to fly to Dubrovnik or Split, two historic cities that can be combined with other Adriatic hotspots such as the islands of Hvar and Vis.
