Za prvu klasu da ne spominjem. Skuplji je let od najskuplih hotela. Kad je gost u hotelu, kako nebih bio gost u letecem hotelu, odnosno avionu. Nisu svi avioni opremljeni na najvisem nivou. Nisu ni svi hoteli koji se nazivaju hoteli. Ako covek plati desetak i vise hiljada dolara za let, on jeste gost u vecem broju avio kompanija. Navodim samo dve od mnogih. To je QANTAS iz Australije i AIR SERBIA. Sto se tice Vaseg odnosa prema pojedincima iz korporativne uprave, taj stav ne delim. Naprotiv!✈.

Finally a good and rational reply. T...Anon at 9:06<br /><br />Finally a good and rational reply. Thanks for that. You have a point and you are absolutely right.<br /><br />The problem I see here is that prices are not competitive for a product that is not even offered. <br /><br />Let me give you an analogy. When a company offers a new and unknown product on the market they can price it aggressively in order to attract interest. For example, a new smart phone device is offered from an unknown company. What would be the best way to attract interest and have the market brag about it. Be aggressive. Of course if an established maker, such as Apple, offers a product, the price point is irrelevant since they have an established consumer base. JU is not Apple in the airline industry. <br /><br />I am not in the airline industry. I am looking into these things from a consumer perspective. I remember when Turkish started their flights to the US. Their product was priced so aggressively that it was very competitive. People started talking about it and Turkish relatively easily built a consumer base. This allowed them to expand their network to other US Cities. If this doesn't happen, it will be very challenging for JU to expand their network in the US.<br /><br />As a father of two, I know what you meant with kids crying in the airport if you are delayed for hours. But, if that allows me to save $1500 that I can use elsewhere (additional trips in Europe), it may be worth the effort :-). After all it may take few bucks to buy the kids a toy or too and keep them happy. I am pretty sure many parents out there have the same opinion. <br /><br />When I do business travel (and I do it quite a bit of it), I don't care that much about the price as I care about the product and convenience. Missing a flight in Belgrade won't be the same experience with missing a flight in Vienna, for example. Possibility to get to the destination using another flight is one differentiator.<br /><br />Yes, your point about the convenience of a direct flight is valid. But, that's not the only parameter the customers (no business) look at. As far as the business customers (going from NY to BEG as final destination), I am not sure if JU will have enough of them on daily basis.<br /><br />So, it will be a bumpy road for JU if they really keep this strategy.<br /><br />This is for anon at 6:05PM yesterday. You are entering a "religious" debate that I don't want to be part of. I did a matrix search and results were the same. <br /><br />@JATBEGMEL, I completely agree that demand drives the price. But, what demand are we talking about here? JU just started selling their product. ;-) and by the way the demand will drive the prices up of the competition as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-87114569474992490482016-02-19T15:35:43.083+01:002016-02-19T15:35:43.083+01:00odlicna vest, dosta se smucamo po raznim aerodrmim...odlicna vest, dosta se smucamo po raznim aerodrmima zbog tranzita, nadam se da karte nece da poskupe. mmshttp://www.rentacarmms.rs/eng/index.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-44024536228479640942016-02-19T14:50:18.779+01:002016-02-19T14:50:18.779+01:00Inace zaista nemam nikakvu "netrpeljivost&quo...Inace zaista nemam nikakvu "netrpeljivost" prema Er Srbiji, koristim njihove usluge kada mi odgovara i kada mogu da priustim i preferiram ih u odnosu na sve ostale kompanije kojima sam leteo iz Beograda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-69582096119535869522016-02-19T14:47:50.101+01:002016-02-19T14:47:50.101+01:00I did not say that ASL does not have excellent on-...I did not say that ASL does not have excellent on-board service, because it does. It's just that corporate speak is one of my biggest pet peeves. ASL (or anyone else's) passengers are exactly that - paying passengers, customers etc. They are certainly not guests as they are neither using the services for free nor are they technically "staying" with ASL (like they would in a hotel for example) but merely using a transport service, "riding" their planes if you will. So yes, while ASL generally has good service, I stand by my opinion that calling your passengers 'guests' is cringeworthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-51376007714829643532016-02-19T11:49:03.253+01:002016-02-19T11:49:03.253+01:00Mnogo, mnogo rada, promena, harmonije medju zaposl...Mnogo, mnogo rada, promena, harmonije medju zaposljenim.

Mr. Kondic nije<br />jedini koji putnike Er Srbije naziva gostima. To se radi u svetu putnickog vazduhoplovstva, duze vreme. Sa Vasim ''ugh'' niste oplemenili percepciju. Pokazujete netrpeljivost. Bio sam putnik na Er Srbiji. Posada je nas, pa i moju malenkost tretirala kao svoje goste, a ne putnike. Dali ste nekad bili na slavi kod nekog?. Slicno tome se odnosi posada u avio kompanijama koje drze do sebe. Sigurno Er Srbija jeste jedna od tih. Tvrdim sa mojim letovima sa oko blizu 70 avio kompanija, i preko<br />4000 sati leta kao putnik preko svih kontinenata. U zadnjih pola veka. Vi Anon, moguce je imate vece iskustvo, znate vise o letenju. To je dobro. Ali nije dobro da ste frustuirani. Odmorite se malo. Umanjite ''letove''.

At the same time there is the convenience factor of a non-stop flight and flying via Moscow or Istanbul is a serious detour. You will be detouring by at least 5 hours via Moscow and by at least 3-4 hours via Istanbul, likely more. I recently missed a connection in Istanbul (TK fault) and had to wait for 12 hours for the next flight to BEG. Think about 12 hours of two screaming children in IST (don't know how old yours are but many people's will be that age) and suddenly that nonstop to BEG may look more reasonable. Altogether these nonstop flights will rarely -- if ever -- be the cheapest option. Nonstop flights are almost never the cheapest. Some people don't mind 5 hours detour plus "hell potential" and that is perfectly fine -- an airline does not have to win everyone's business to succeed. On the other hand they DO need to win the business of sufficiently many people to succeed. That's why they need to arrange interline on the U.S. side and good connections on the BEG side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-90893709355051253892016-02-19T09:03:20.048+01:002016-02-19T09:03:20.048+01:00"Our flight schedule has been carefully desig..."Our flight schedule has been carefully designed to offer guests..."<br /><br />I cringe every time I hear them call their passengers "guests"...
