Flying From USA to Split, Croatia Just Got Easier
From 30 April 2026, United Airlines will fly between New York (Newark – EWR) and Split (SPU) — three times per week.
Here’s the schedule (local times):
New York → Split: Tues / Thurs / Sat, depart 17:00 EDT, arrive ~07:45 CEST (next day)
Split → New York: Wed / Fri / Sun, depart 10:00 CEST, arrive ~14:05 EDT
Aircraft & Prices
Plane: Boeing 767-300ER
Cabin options: Business / Premium / Economy
Typical round-trip economy fare: from around USD 1,018 (depends on date and season)
Reasonable for a direct transatlantic flight — especially considering how much time and hassle it saves compared to multiple transfers.
Why It’s Convenient for Charter Guests
Since most yacht charters run Saturday–Saturday, this flight pattern works quite well:
Arrive Friday morning → Relax, settle in, enjoy Split before boarding Saturday
Return flight Sunday morning → No need to rush after checkout Saturday
That means instead of tight travel days, you get soft buffer days: time to adjust, enjoy the city, rest from the flight, or do a little sightseeing. Much better way to start and end your sailing holiday.
What to Do With Those Extra Days On Land
1. Before your charter (Friday)
Land early — take a slow morning coffee on the Riva, stroll through Old Town.
Head to the beach for a swim or nap.
Have an early dinner, rest up — wake up Saturday refreshed and ready for boarding.
2. After your charter (Saturday → Sunday)
After checkout Saturday morning, settle in a nearby hotel or apartment.
Enjoy a relaxed last stroll, a sunset walk, or a simple local dinner.
Pack calmly; no need to rush — you have time before the morning flight.
Good for families, couples, or anyone who doesn’t love stressful transitions.
