Hey everybody,
that is my first flight report, so I am a little bit nervous. This summer I flew with Slovenian national airline Adria Airways from Ljubljana to Frankfurt. Adria is flying three times per day to Frankfurt. Usually with Bombardier crj900 and sometimes with crj200 or Airbus 319 which is Adria s biggest plane. Connections between Ljubljana and airport are bad.The best option is shuttle or bus. Taxi is very expensive.
How to come to the Airport: http://www.lju-airport.si/en/passengers-and-visitors/getting-here/
I arrived two hours before. Airport in Ljubljana is very small with one terminal and around 20 flights per day.
Entrance hall is a little bit old, but clean and nice. There are some bars and shops. I decided to go to my gate 1, which is upstairs.
And that is the boarding area. There is also Duty free. And you can charge your phone (also free Wi-fi network).
I still had a lot of time so I decided to check some other planes.
Adria Airways A319 to Helsinki and Bombardier crj200 (Star alliance livery) to Skopje.
Czech Airlines A319 to Prague and Bombardier crj900.
And then boarding. Boarding started one time.
That was my plane to Frankfurt (Bombardier crj900).
Seats are okay. Before you go to plane you can take some magazines. You can also read their inflight magazine, which is in the pocket. Now I Adria has got some onair entertainment:https://www.adria.si/en/onair-magazine/article/theres-something-new-in-the-air/
And legroom is also okay.
Photo of the landscape. If there is a nice weather you can see Alps. I had this luck.
After one hour we landed in Frankfurt.We landed smooth and I saw some heavies there: Emirates A380, Thai Airways A380, Air Canada B777, Lufthansa…(unfortunately I don t have photos:().
Flight was comfortable, but we didn t get the meal. That was disappointment. Why do they have tables then. Crew was really friendly and nice.
Our plane parked far away from the terminal. So we went with buses to the terminal 1. And there is easy to find the exit from the airport.
Thanks for reading. I hope you get some informations. Please rate and comment.
Thank you for share this rare FR aboard JP and welcome to the site! The first English report on JP!
The first report is always the hardest to do, but it was complete and easy to follow. Next time, maybe some more comments on the crew or other in-flight aspects would help, but it was a very good first report.
I briefly lived in Graz, so I have been to Ljubljana many times, but only by train. From what I remember, the airport was really far north of the city, so it's not surprising that is it isn't very convenient to access. LJU looks a lot like BEG on the inside/outside.
The CRJ looks well-maintained and the seats look more than adequate for a regional flight. Seat pitch looks really good, unless you just have very short legs!
It's very disappointing not to get any service on an intra-European flight. I would have expected more from JP since they are in *A, JU seems to be the best carrier in this region. Does LH also serve this route?
Your fuselage shot was great!
Thanks for this comment. I will try to do better next time. And Lufthansa is not flying to Ljubljana. Adria is flying for Lufthansa. Adria is falling down, because they are in crisis, so they don t have money for the meal onboard. And the airport is really far away from the city. Legroom is nothing special. I was just sitting like this :).
I am grateful for your comment.
With no competition on the route, they probably have little incentive to improve their product. JP could be in trouble with all of EY's investment in JU and push to start TATL routes out of BEG.
Thanks for this report,
JP did like LO, SN, and others...as they introduced BoB^^
But you can't get even glass of water??
FRA is a huge airport, a bit messy^^
See you
You can get a glass of water, but you must pay.
Thanks for comment.
See you
