Medjugorje is located in the southwest part of Herzegovina, a region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and there is unfortunately no airport there, but there are three big airports some 2.5 h away, as well as a smaller one in Mostar.
You will need to take the bus, so if there aren’t that many direct lines and you’re flying to Split or Dubrovnik, you can try taking a bus to Metkovic (Croatia) or Capljina (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and catching a bus from there. If you’re flying to Sarajevo, you can take a bus to Mostar or Capljina (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and catch a bus to Medjugorje from there.
Bear in mind that Split and Dubrovnik are in Croatia, so you will cross the border (more than once if you’re coming from Dubrovnik), which gets busy during the tourist season, so be patient and have some water and snacks with you.
