Mebo -
The name of the aircraft operator is of no help to anyone wanting to book a seat. What is needed is the name of the company who has charted the aircraft and control the sale of the seats. In many of the cases you quote this is Holiday Options.
When I get a few minutes I will try to post a list of companies who are offering seat only to Croatia, but you could do worse than trying to contact Holiday Options, and Hidden Croatia who at least let people on this site know what they are operating this year.
The only scheduled direct services are BA and Croatia Airlines. Indirect via Italy (Trieste, Venice, Ancona and Bari) include Ryanair, Easyjet, and BA, plus several others into Venice. There was talk of Easyjet flying to Lublijana this summer but I have not checked this yet.
Of course if you want to load your car up you could drive! It only takes about 12 hours of continental driving to northern Croatia, just make sure that you are insured, covered for breakdowns, and allow for road tolls.

For a start I never posted this message in this forum board. Someone has just pasted what I put up and called themselves Medo1.
I have added a follow-up to my original message. I have stated that people are required to book their tickets via the associated tour operator. I do also mention Holiday Options because from my research they were associated with most of the flights listed.

It only takes about 12 hours of continental driving to northern Croatia, just make sure that you are insured, covered for breakdowns, and allow for road tolls. Driving is, of course, an option, but in my experience the coast of a channel ferry / tunnel crossing is rather high when you are spending more than a weekend away, and then of course there is the cost of petrol, etc. Has anyone done this and counted up the costs? Care to post the results for all?  |

There are a lot of advantages to driving, but it all depends on how comfortable you are with driving long distances, the number of persons, the amount of luggage that you want to take and the length or time that you are spending in Croatia. If we are going for three weeks or more we mostly take a Stena Line crossing from Harwich to Hoek Van Holland and then blast across Europe via Germany and Austria and down to Zagreb. Autobahns most of the way and so long as you avoid peak times you can make good progress. Fuel is much cheaper on the continent and the only real costs in addition to fuel are the Austrian tolls. The big advantage is being able to take loads of luggage, or in my case, half the office!
