You don't see taxi drivers draging you for t-shirt in the terminal, and only 9th and 10th category (or Lux or whatever it's called / introduced two years ago) can work there. Couple of cars are waiting in front of the arrivals, but others are on the parking (if you look at your right when you leave the airport you will see them), and they're called by radio from a small kiosk operated by the airport.vasingtonskverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516332075636978366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-69486174570023672632009-11-09T17:25:22.585+01:002009-11-09T17:25:22.585+01:00[-shudder-] at the poisonous, Balkans "it'...[-shudder-] at the poisonous, Balkans "it's not my job/nije moj sektor" mentality.<br /><br />I simply can't believe that the airport has no say over what happens at it's front door.doothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519282046026969484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-43142417750620120202009-11-09T09:12:40.540+01:002009-11-09T09:12:40.540+01:00@ henrik

Its slowly improving, note the word slowly.<br /><br />@ doot<br /><br />its not really Belgrade Airports responsibility. The city government is responsible for regulating and controlling taxi's in Belgrade. Very soon the problem will be fixed with new barcodes needing to be stuck to windscreens on taxis. Illegal taxis dont get them, and only taxis in the "lux" caterogory will get barcodes with a train, bus and plane drawn on them which gives them rights to transfer passengers to/from the central bus and train station and to/from Nikola Tesla Airport.

The floor tiles are cracked at many places, the check in desks are green...its a step back in time. Things change once you walk down the corridor to Terminal 2 and things look abit more modern. Terminal 2 isnt much more impressive, and in the arrivals hall if i jumped high enough i coupld probably touch the roof! <br /><br />@ Milos<br /><br />2 euros is almost 200 dinars, giving you a saving enough to recharge some credit on your mobile ;) A taxi from Nikola Tesla to the city is 900 dinars (over 2.000 with the illegal taxis). The drive is 20 minutes. The new price, around 700 dinara is much much less than what you would pay say in Vienna, Frankfurt, London...<br /><br />@ Henrik<br /><br />new glass airbridges were purchased for the C wing of Terminal 2 when it was reconstructed a couple year back. the A wing still has old airbridges but they seem to be in ok condition. waiting areas last time i used BEG were in need of an upgrade. BEG was supposed to have a cargo facility built but, surprise surprise, some scandal came out and nothing has happened.<br /><br />Visa liberation on Serbian passports for Russia have happened, for the EU will be from the 19th of december and for the UK it is expected in late 2010.JATBEGMELnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-34064279978204100652009-11-06T02:14:04.000+01:002009-11-06T02:14:04.000+01:00What was terminal one used for before?
