There is no HYD–ZAG non-stop. Qatar Airways via Doha and Emirates via Dubai serve Zagreb with a single change, while Turkish Airlines via Istanbul is a strong, well-priced option given its dense network. From central Europe, Lufthansa (Frankfurt/Munich) and Austrian Airlines (Vienna) connect onward to ZAG, sometimes on Croatia Airlines for the final leg. A one-stop Gulf or Istanbul itinerary is usually quickest and keeps your bags checked through to Zagreb.
Doha and Dubai give comfortable, frequent service and competitive fares. Istanbul via Turkish Airlines often wins on price and offers one of the shortest one-stop times to Zagreb, around 13–15 hours. Vienna or Frankfurt suit travellers wanting a central-European stopover, with a quick onward hop to ZAG. Keep layovers in the 2–4 hour band. If you connect through a Schengen hub like Vienna or Frankfurt, you clear Schengen immigration there before the onward flight.
Zagreb's Franjo Tuđman Airport (ZAG) is a modern, single-terminal hub about 17 km southeast of the city. The Croatia Airlines shuttle bus reaches the main bus station in around 30 minutes; taxis and ride-hailing are also handy.

Gulf and Turkish carriers typically include 25–30 kg of checked baggage to Europe in economy, plus a cabin bag, while Lufthansa, Austrian and Croatia Airlines usually allow one 23 kg bag on standard fares. Watch for 'light' economy fares that exclude checked luggage. On a single ticket your bags are tagged through to Zagreb even across a Croatia Airlines final sector; on separate tickets you re-check them at the connecting hub.
Return economy fares from Hyderabad to Zagreb usually run ₹50,000–₹90,000. Summer (June–September), peak season for the Adriatic coast, is dearest; the cheapest window is November to March, excluding Christmas. Late spring (May) and early autumn (September–October) offer the best mix of warm, dry weather and softer prices, ideal for combining Zagreb with Plitvice and the coast before the high-season crowds and heat arrive. Book 6–10 weeks ahead for value.
Croatia has surged in popularity with Indian travellers thanks to its Game-of-Thrones-famous Dubrovnik, the turquoise cascades of Plitvice Lakes, Adriatic islands and walled medieval towns — all at gentler prices than Western Europe.

It pairs well with neighbouring capitals; explore options via our Hyderabad–Vienna guide.
