SimonRowberryParticipantHi all.
I’m flying BHX-ZRH-ZAG next month, in LX Business Class. The Zurich-Zagreb and return legs are flown by Croatia Airlines, on a Q400 (I think).
Has anyone any knowledge of Croatia Airlines’ Business Class, Zagreb Airport or Zagreb itself? I’m going up to Ljubljana by train, so any tips or comments on rail services in that part of the world would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

SenatorParticipantHi,
I flew Croatia from VIE to Zagreb on the Q400 in C-class. This was a very short flight, and you are sitting 2-2 (if cabin is fully booked). In-flight service consisted of sandwich, and beverages including beer and wine. In all what you could expect from a very short flight.
I suggest the first row A-B or A-C as the door is in front of you and there is tons of leg room.
No inside on the train I am afraid.

JonathanCohen09ParticipantHi Simon,
thanks for your input on my ‘Stop the Rot’ thread.http://www.find-croatia.com/railways/
Try this website, i have not been to Croatia but two of my friends went on business a couple of months ago and used the train service. They said the website was quite helpful.
I have not used it myself so please forgive me if it is not suitable for your requirements on this occassion.

SimonRowberryParticipantBrilliant, F09. Many thanks!
The trains look pretty good, and from other research I know that the fares are unbelievably cheap – €20 (approx) for the 3-hour journey from Zagreb to Ljubljana in first class (that’s a return fare, I believe). Makes trains in the UK look what they are – I paid £28 one-way for the 1-hour journey from where I live to Wolverhampton last week on Cross-Country trains, and about £150 for a Virgin first class return between Birmingham and Milton Keynes (less than an hour each way).
One of my consultancy assignments at the moment involves trying to persuade people to use modes other than the private car. With rail fares as high as we have, that’s not easy.
I’ll report back on Croatian and Slovenian trains in due course (I go in November).
Thanks for the advice and help, folks.
