DeleteBEG-MUC 50
ReplyDeleteMUC-BEG 107
Lots of transfers especially from Italy on the way there.
50 is really low.
DeleteTicket sales started less than a month before the flight. Also these flights cater a lot for transfers. Meaning that usually in one direction it is full and and in the other less so as the timings better suit connections in one direction. Same thing will happen in the other (morning) wave when there will be more passengers from BEG.
DeleteOkay for the first flight.
DeleteThere were 30 transfers on the flight back which is not bad. It means JU made good money. I am happy they have a lot of frequencies and not like BA when they returned to BEG
DeleteSomeone knows LF on days after inaugural flight?
DeleteHow about the airline just posts live load factors of all their routes... some of you people
DeleteFrom what I heard loads are decent which is ok for a new route where LH operates 21 weekly
DeleteWhat a week for Air Serbia.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed also Nizhnyi Novgorod started !
DeleteRegarding the load on first flight.
ReplyDeleteTickets went on sale just one month before flight. Most people who wanted to travel already had their tickets with Lufthansa, for example. Some people took refund and may bought Air Serbia tickets.
Air Serbia took great moment to launch flights. However, this summer route will probably have lower LF since many people already booked their summer trips. This summer is not a sign for it.
How do you know how many passengers were on a plane and how many of them were connecting passengers? How do you even get that information?
ReplyDeleteAirport staff have that info
DeleteAny passenger boarding can turn around and look at screen at boarding desk. It is written how many passengers are in total.
