    Tour ends in Bled. How do we get to an airport and from where do we fly out to the US? Does your company makes the transportation arrangement to an airport?

    Travel Support
    • Explore!Operator•Written December 2022

      The trip ends after breakfast at our hotel in Bled. There are no activities planned today, so you are free to depart from Bled at any time. If your flight is departing later in the day, luggage storage facilities are available at our hotel. If you would like to receive a complimentary airport transfer today, you'll need to depart from Ljubljana International Airport (LJU), which is 30 minutes drive from the hotel. So you can search for the flights from Ljubljana International Airport (LJU) or let us know if you need any recommendations.
