In 2026, Montenegro enters the year with its most developed low-cost flight network to date, making the country more accessible than ever for short-term visitors, long-stay tourists, and digital nomads looking for a flexible and affordable European base.
The country's two main airports now have clearly defined roles:
- Podgorica Airport – a year-round, functional airport focused on affordability and work-related travel
- Tivat Airport – a seasonal airport oriented toward premium tourism and Western European markets
This distinction is especially important for digital nomads who choose where to live, not just where to vacation.
Podgorica – The Ideal Entry Point
In 2026, Podgorica has firmly positioned itself as Montenegro's main low-cost hub, with direct connections to many European cities that already serve as major nomad and business travel routes.
Why Podgorica- Affordable flights throughout the year
- Stable routes outside the summer season
- Good connections to northern and central Montenegro
- Lower cost of living compared to the coast
Key Airlines
- Wizz Air – extensive coverage across Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe
- Ryanair – strong presence with routes to Poland, Germany, Belgium, and the UK
- Pegasus Airlines – direct connections to Turkey (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir)
- Transavia France & FlyOne Armenia – serving specific niche markets
Cities such as Warsaw, Kraków, Katowice, Vilnius, Gdańsk, Hamburg, Cologne, and Milan (Bergamo and Malpensa) are not luxury tourist routes — they are "working routes" with steady demand, frequent flights, and reliable year-round occupancy.
Tivat – Seasonal Appeal with Higher Average Spend
Unlike Podgorica, Tivat operates with fewer but more selectively chosen low-cost routes, focusing on Western Europe and higher-spending travelers.
