How Ohrid’s Airport Works
Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport (OHD) is a seasonal airport. The vast majority of services operate May–October. In winter, very limited scheduled services operate and charter availability drops significantly.
Unlike Tirana or Sofia, Ohrid does not have a major LCC base. There is no Ryanair service to Ohrid. The airport relies on charter airlines and a small number of scheduled carriers.
Current scheduled carriers to Ohrid (as of June 2026):
- Wizz Air: from Vienna, Memmingen, Dortmund
- Air Serbia: from Belgrade
- Swiss: from Zurich
- Turkish Airlines: from Istanbul
- TUI Airways: from Manchester
- TUI Fly Netherlands: from Amsterdam
- LOT Polish Airlines: seasonal
From the UK: TUI Airways operates Manchester–Ohrid direct. This is the primary UK connection. Fares vary significantly by season — summer package pricing typically bundles the flight.
From the US: No nonstop. Chicago ORD–Belgrade–Ohrid via Air Serbia is one routing (Air Serbia shows OHD connections from US cities). Expect $1,200–1,800 for US–Ohrid with connections.
Honest Caveat
Ohrid is not well-connected by LCC compared to Tirana or Sofia. If you can’t find a suitable direct flight, flying to Skopje (170 km away, 2–2.5 hour bus) is a practical alternative with far more airline options.
