TRIP REPORT
Created by Patrick Shea
Air Serbia has been on my list for a long time. Before I even flew international for the first time, I saw the Nikola Tesla A330 sitting out at JFK’s Terminal 1, while watching Nikola Jokic ball out… the stars just aligned across the Nikolas.

ReplyDeleteGuys, anyone actually knows when the new lounge will be open?
Ought to be sometime this summer.
DeleteBravo Air Serbia 🇷🇸 🇷🇸🇷🇸
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed so much your video/article that I had to react and post my comment/compliments for the first time on this site, although I am a daily reader for many years. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWhat I would like to know is how you managed to pay only $1250 for Business Class? I know it's only one way but I could not find a comparable fare to the US for this price.
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be an average price for JU's one-way Business Class to JFK and ORD outside of peak dates - at least in my experience - if you book around 1 month in advance.
DeleteFor Air Serbia birthday, there were discounted tickets available to JFK and ORD for about 85K RSD one way.
DeleteU špicu sezone letovi za ORD su gotovo duplo skuplji u odnosu na JFK, što znali da su letovi već sada dobro popunjeni. Ne razumem zašto ne dodaju još letova sada kada imaju dovoljno kapaciteta. Lepo je videti ovako dobro popunjen biznis u Januaru.
ReplyDeleteI must say the terminal exterior in the twilight at the beginning of the video looks beautiful.

DeleteAbsolutely agree. From the outside. Inside we have a completely different story - the airport became more claustrophobic, not adequately equipped for its extensions, etc
DeleteDoes someone knows what is load factor on ORD route?
ReplyDeleteThere has been numerous talking about how this route is not performing so well but I could not find anywhere some official data. Thank you in advance.
Because it's made up. Those that make these things up have so far said that Air Serbia would go bankrupt, never launch long haul flights, never get wide body aircraft, then discontinue long haul flights, etc.
DeleteIdemo dalje!
DeleteORD performs poorly in winter that's why it was reduced to just one weekly flight. Basically this flight does well three months per year.
DeleteI LOVE this website. It is the first thing I open when I sit down with a coffee in the morning. Stories like these are great insight to the development of the airlines in the Ex-Yu. I bet a lot of people subjectively reflect sometimes "if it wasn't for the conflicts of the 90s, what would be the market share today, what would the airlines look like". Respect to the administrators.
