If money was no object, I'd fly as often as I could, but I am concerned evenly with both time and money.

If I were to get to Plitvice the cheapest way, would it be to route through Karlovac via bus?  After Plitvice, getting to Dubrovnik by means other than bus I am not sure - advice here would be helpful.  I plan to fly the leg between Dubrovnik/Pula - is Croatian Airlines the only airline which does this route?  Sadly, I have to sit on a layover in Zagreb to do it, but I think it will still save me loads of time.  I am planning on this at the end of April, early May.

Thank you!!!!
