Flight Deals from Los Angeles to Split from $680

Los Angeles to Split is about 6,370 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires a connection.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no non-stop flights from Los Angeles to Split; the route is connecting-only. The shortest routing is KLM via Amsterdam at 13h 15m total (10h 15m to Amsterdam, a 55-minute layover, then 2h 05m to Split), with Lufthansa via Munich at 13h 40m and Finnair via Helsinki at 14h 45m close behind.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

From Split Airport, the fastest and most convenient options are taxis, private transfers, and rideshares like Uber, Bolt, and Wizi, which take about 30 minutes to the city center and cost roughly €30–50. The most-used and economical choice is the official airport shuttle bus (operated by Platanus, formerly Pleso Prijevoz), which departs about 30 minutes after every flight arrival, costs €10, and reaches the main bus station in about 30 minutes. Local Promet Split city buses (lines 37, 38, and 2) are even cheaper at around €1.50–3 but take 50–60 minutes and may require a transfer to reach the old town. Car rentals are available from Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Sixt, and local operators, though parking in the historic center is difficult and expensive. There is no direct train from the airport, and a seasonal high-speed ferry runs only during summer from a port about 500 meters from the terminal.

Average fares from Los Angeles to Split bottom out around $390 in late January, making it the cheapest stretch to fly. The cheapest months overall are January ($403), September ($410), and February ($414), while late December is the most expensive period at about $527. Summers and the holiday season run higher, with December averaging $499, June $485, and July $477.

Methodology

Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.

For flights from Los Angeles to Split, book roughly 4–6 weeks before departure to get the best fare, averaging about $348. The cheapest single booking point is around 30 days out at $347, while prices climb steadily beyond 6 weeks and spike above $500 for bookings made 5–6 months ahead. Summer and holiday periods push fares higher, so aim for that 4–6 week window even more tightly during peak travel times.

Methodology

Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.

There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Los Angeles to Split, but overnight connecting itineraries do operate. Lufthansa's overnight leg from Los Angeles to Munich departs around 5:30 PM and arrives at 1:35 PM the next day, and KLM's overnight leg to Amsterdam departs around 4:45 PM and arrives at noon the next day. British Airways also runs an overnight leg to London Heathrow departing around 5:05 PM and arriving at 11:35 AM the next day.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

There is no nonstop service from Los Angeles to Split, so travelers connect through European hubs.

Turkish Airlines via Istanbul and British Airways via London Heathrow also operate this route, with the Turkish Airlines pattern including a Croatia Airlines connection from Istanbul to Split. The main carriers fly this route daily, with KLM offering about four connections per day.

Split has one commercial airport, Split Airport, located about 25 km west of the city centre near Trogir. It serves seasonal and year‑round flights, mainly from European carriers, and is the only gateway for the Split region.

From downtown Los Angeles, the most popular way to reach LAX is the FlyAway nonstop bus from Union Station, which runs every 15 minutes and costs about $9.75 one-way, taking roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Public transit is also easy: take the Metro C or K Line to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, then transfer to a free shuttle that serves all terminals; the whole trip from downtown takes about 45–60 minutes. Ride‑share (Uber or Lyft) and taxis offer direct door‑to‑terminal service and are the fastest option when traffic is light, though they cost the most; taxis typically run around $70 from the city center. Driving yourself is possible with multiple on‑airport parking lots, but you'll want to budget extra time for the congested terminal loop.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
