When she finally reached our row I asked her why and she explained only pursers can sell food, while other flight attendants can only sell beverages....It took her two hours to count, recount, repeat again all orders, joggle between dinars and euros...oh, and btw, no credit cards accepted.<br />On the top of everything they turned on the heating to the maximum so it wa basically: a gas chamber combined with uncomfy seats, thirst and hunger.<br />There were strikes in Paris and we had to leave the flat three hours ahead. The thermometer in a taxi was showing 30° that afternoon. We barely made it. We were really thirsty and hungry + I'm diabetic.<br />Once I adored Air Serbia, but this, what they turned into is ridiculous.<br />I do hope Air France will start flying again to BEG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-8929025252388920192018-04-26T08:48:05.851+02:002018-04-26T08:48:05.851+02:00JFK 2 weekly?

This whole buy on board switch is disastrous and it seems like it's not working that well especially since they have to make two rounds of service, first for those whose fare includes a snack and then for the rest of the cabin. <br /><br />Anyway, like I said it before, Air Serbia today is run by people in Belgrade who make all the decisions. If Etihad leaves then nothing will really change. At least JU will get control of its pricing policies which would be great. AUH is clueless ... as we've all seen from the 30.000 RSD white tariffs.

Let each republic go their own way and be responsible for themselves. This way we can't blame another group for our problems and will eventually realise that its up to us as individuals to change for the better. I truly believe that each individual republic from the former Yugo will do better. We just need to find a way to respect each other which unfortunately looks a long way off.

The problem is, in Serbia is that there is no domestically based, privately owned company like Aegean. To add to this problem, I see no one locally (I mean private businessman) that would have what it takes ($$$) to run airline business. <br /><br />More realistic situation in the case of ASL failure is that existing players (LH, OS etc. + low costars) would ascend to this market by initially increasing frequencies and then adding some new destination. Would that replace ASL’s current offer? At the beginning probably no, but after some time probably yes. Market would stagnate for a while but over time, market forces always prevail. If there is a demand there will be supply. Also, Serbia would lose some jobs, but also would get rid of subsidies and risk associated with owning airline business. What’s better for local economy, it’s very hard for anyone to say since there is so many factors in play (taxes, salaries paid locally vs more pax, more tourists etc.), none of which we have insight in.<br />SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992198326118720912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-39302347288219209572018-04-25T19:14:10.112+02:002018-04-25T19:14:10.112+02:00LoLLoLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-63978991241332135632018-04-25T19:06:54.876+02:002018-04-25T19:06:54.876+02:00I highly doubt that they could have 'shaved...I highly doubt that they could have 'shaved' eur 40 million of costs.<br /><br />July ?!?!?!
