I flew into Split on the early flight from Zagreb on Croatia Airlines. The flight was short (40 minutes) uneventful (just the way I like it) and arrival in the rather small airport was easy. Inside, you'll find a currency exchange, a cafe and a shop or two, but the airport is fairly small.
Getting into town was easy. The airport is about 25km northwest of Split (in Kastela), so I hopped on the Croatia Airlines bus and for 30kn (as of Feb. 2004) it took me to the waterfront, Riva of Split right in front of the Diocletian's Palace.
I also noticed that when I took the #37 bus from Trogir back to Split, the public bus stops in front of the airport. You'll have to walk through the parking lot in front of the airport out to the street, but that will save you a few bucks.

When in Zagreb, you have the 3 main options on getting to Split (or Dubronvik). When I was there, busses were more viable then trains, because of the recent war. It was the choice of a 11+ hour train/buss ride for about $12 or pay $90 for a 45 minute flight. It was cheaper for my friend who was 26 years (or younger). We opted for the flight. And it did not matter if we bought the ticket the day before our flight!
