Split's airport is 30km out of town and is rather small but quite pleasant, situated as it is quite close to the sea. Any questions upon arriving can be directed to the nice people at the information desk, which is open from 05:15 - 22:00. Follow the steps leading down from the main hall to find a toilet and a baby-changing station. Toilets can also be found by heading upstairs from the main hall. If you feel like a drink or a bite before your flight, Restaurant and Café Ikar operates from 06:00 - 22:30 and has an excellent view of the sea and palm trees swaying in the breeze. Changing currency: Splitska Banka (Open 06:30 - 20:30) and the post office (Open 08:00 - 19:00. Closed Sun) both operate exchange offices and can be found at the far end of the main hall. There are also two ATMs in the same hall.
Calling home: You can purchase a phone card at the Slobodna dalmacija kiosk (open according to flight times). There are public phones in two locations: first, in the main hall next to the Internet point (which offers free Internet, incidentally!); and second, upstairs between the two doors leading to the men's and women's toilets.
Getting to town: If you prefer to go by car, there are a number of car rental agencies operating in the main hall. Otherwise, your choices are taxi, public bus or, if you arrived on a Croatia Airlines flight, airport bus. Taxis take about thirty minutes from the airport and shouldn't cost more than 300kn for the trip. Public bus No 37 stops just in front of the airport at twenty-minute intervals on weekdays and thirty-minute intervals on weekends, with tickets costing 15kn one-way; cross the street and wait at the stop there. Croatia Airlines buses run according to the arrival times of flights and drop you just next to the old town for 30kn.

The Croatia Airlines bus also meets other major flights like Easyjet etc, so you don't have to fly with Croatia Airlines to use it.
