Paphos did have a good 2015, passenger numbers increased by over 8%. <br /><br />Their passengers do come from everywhere as the island isn't that big. Nicosia-Paphos is about 150 km and there are buses running between Nicosia's downtown and Paphos airport. This year their passenger numbers should grow some more since the terrorist attacks in Turkey and Egypt.Nemjeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-23013626399987985702016-06-27T07:21:05.894+02:002016-06-27T07:21:05.894+02:00CR9CR9JU520 BEGLAXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-37889853448402627952016-06-27T07:16:41.842+02:002016-06-27T07:16:41.842+02:00You mean like Mihajlovic said that they might exte...You mean like Mihajlovic said that they might extend the New York flight to Mexico City? ;)<br />That wasn't a joke.

It adds another market segment and captures customers that find biz class restriced (by travel policies) or lousy value prop (for personal travel). Air Serbia mentioned 60% of JFK-BEG passengers are US based and they are already familiar and are expecting Y+ offer. Air Serbia does not (so far) advertise upgrade deals from eco to biz on A330, so the gap is obvious.<br /><br />I have been experimenting with Y+ on my personal long and mid haul travels and I absolutely love it, with Delta Comfort+ coming up in a few weeks.Дечко Тзарnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-51974637691272414032016-06-26T18:18:27.503+02:002016-06-26T18:18:27.503+02:00I do think Air Serbia is considering ordering wide...I do think Air Serbia is considering ordering widebodies as part of the Etihad family order.

When you look at the timetable there is in most cases only 1 flight per day to destinations passengers can connect too. This as a passenger wpyld be most important to me. If i would miss a connection in Beg and the next flight available would be the next say,all the catering and pampering would mean nothing.Therefore I as a passenger would probably lose confidence in the airline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-57140272055390806752016-06-26T17:12:53.863+02:002016-06-26T17:12:53.863+02:00^^^

There is still some random signage in Spanish on a couple of the aircraft.<br /><br />Overall the aircraft does look nice, however it looks as if the J class cabin had minimal work done, and its evident in one of the photos showing wear and tear.<br /><br />Their Product Development team seems to not be working well, as there has been some more blunders on board ie: JU ran out of head rest covers making do with smaller white cheap disposable looking ones. The whole bag saga o short flights was a change in standards where flights under 1 hours are offered bags, and those between 1 to 2 hours have a sandwhich passed to them in the hand (speaking of Y class). Th quality of the sandwhich is adbsolutely terrible, where even Jat before the catering strike had better quality packaging and sandwhiches.<br /><br />Overall, JU HQ is a mess that needs to be fixed, which is evident by looking at the many blunders and poor decisions being made.<br /><br />@ anonymous 1,58pm<br /><br />JU offers 3 mains to choose from on flights to JFK and AUH, where one of the options is a Serbian option marked with the JU eagle. The Serbian options tend to be popular with the customers.JATBEGMELnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-17035893804915005602016-06-26T16:28:34.480+02:002016-06-26T16:28:34.480+02:00Let's pray all goes well tomorrow.

But for sure, it's not that difficult to take out say 3 rows of economy and put 2 rows of Y+ in 2-3-2 config.
