Seamless and Stress-Free: Private Transfer from Bled to Ljubljana Airport (LJU)
When you’re leaving Bled — famed for its stunning lake, fairy-tale castle, and alpine scenery — the last thing you want is to worry about airport transport. This private transfer service offers a straightforward, comfortable way to get to Ljubljana Airport (LJU), whether you’re flying out early or arriving in a rush. For about $106.59 per group (up to three people), you can enjoy a 35-minute ride in a sleek sedan or spacious minivan, with everything arranged in advance.
What we love about this transfer is the door-to-door service that eliminates the hassle of catching a taxi or waiting in long lines. Plus, the professional driver will meet you at your hotel or private address, guiding you smoothly to the airport. Two features stand out: the “meet and greet” service, which adds a personal touch, and the ability to travel in luxury and comfort without the unpredictability of local taxis.
A potential consideration is the luggage limit — only one standard-size suitcase per person — so if you’re traveling with oversized bags or extra luggage, you might need to pay an additional fee. Also, keep in mind that traffic conditions can influence the exact travel time, although 35 minutes is a good average estimate.
This service suits travelers who value reliability, comfort, and convenience, especially those who appreciate pre-arranged pickups that remove the stress of last-minute arrangements. If you’re heading to Ljubljana airport and want to start or end your trip in a relaxed, hassle-free manner, this transfer is a solid choice.

The vehicles are clean and well-maintained, making the ride pleasant and quiet — perfect for relaxing or catching up on sleep before your flight.
