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.
