Getting to the Bay of Kotor without a connection is now easier than the market gives it credit for. Porto Montenegro's summer 2026 flight schedule, covering 29 March to late October, lists 58 direct airline routes into Tivat airport from 45 airports in 28 countries. Seven of those routes run daily: Belgrade on both Air Serbia and Air Montenegro, Istanbul on Turkish Airlines and Air Montenegro, London Gatwick on easyJet, Baku on Azerbaijan Airlines and Yerevan on FlyOne Armenia. The UK alone is served from seven airports - Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted, Manchester, Bristol and Birmingham - adding up to 28 departures a week at peak. The Gulf is covered too: flydubai flies Dubai-Tivat five times a week from 24 May to 5 September, and Jazeera Airways connects Kuwait four times a week. Tel Aviv gets up to 18 weekly flights across three carriers.
The picture widens with the two alternate airports. Podgorica, about 90 minutes from Tivat, adds 55 routes with a heavy Wizz Air network across Germany, Poland, France and Italy. Dubrovnik, just over the border and roughly 45 minutes from Herceg Novi, lists 109 routes - including United's daily New York-Newark service from 1 May to 24 October, the only nonstop North American link to this stretch of coast.
For buyers in Porto Montenegro, Luštica Bay or anywhere on the Bay of Kotor, this is the demand engine behind summer rental yields - a two-and-a-half-hour flight radius covering London, Frankfurt, Milan and Istanbul with no changeover. The honest caveat sits in the dates: nearly every route closes by late October, so winter access still means connecting through Belgrade or Istanbul. The thing to watch is whether the UK and Gulf carriers extend into the winter 2026/27 season - that would be the stronger signal for year-round use, and it tends to follow summers like this one.
