Budget Airline Flights to Slovenia

Whilst Slovenia in Central Europe has really taken off as a tourist destination in recent years, the budget airlines – for once – have been slow to catch up on this. Travellers wanting to get to one of Slovenia’s festivals and events don’t have many options if they are wanting cheap flights.

One option is to fly into Trieste, just over the border in Italy. Ryanair in particular uses Trieste as a major airport for budget flights, but visitors to Slovenia then need to get on a bus or train to make it over the border.

There are some low cost flights that fly directly into Slovenian cities Ljubljana and Maribor – although only from the UK and Belgium, unfortunately.

Hopefully this will change soon, but for now Slovenia is suffering for its position, right in the middle of Europe, and close to airports in Italy, Croatia, Austria and Hungary.

Here are the cheap flights that currently operate into Slovenia from London and Brussels.
