Polish low-cost airline Wizz Air has launched the first no-frills flights between the UK and Croatia. The four times a week service will begin on March 27 and link-up Luton Airport with Zagreb, the Croatian capital. A promotional fare until the end of January will see tickets start from £26.46, including taxes and charges, after this time one-way tickets will start at £32.46. At the launch of the new route in Zagreb head of Wizz Air József Váradi said he had high hopes for the new link to Croatia. 'We are determined to further expand and develop our Croatian network for the benefit of more Croatian people and those who wish to visit this beautiful country,' he said. 'We plan to carry well over 100,000 passengers from and to Croatia in 2006.'
Zagreb is centred on the Trg Jelacica square with cobblestone streets and pedestrianised areas making it an easy place to walk around and visit the many cafes, bars and restaurants.
