Hi,
The terminal of Ljubljana Airport is really small and very old fashioned. It definitely provides some old Soviet charme - e.g. with the very old school departure board in the Check In hall.
Security took quite a while as only two check points very available for all flights.
Once airside there is not a lot to do rather than two shops and two small cafeterias.
So I just had a view on my waiting Adria Airways Airbus 319 and then had a seat to wait for boarding which started on time.
The cabin crew provided a friendly welcome however this Airbus was the worst maintained I had ever seen: The seats were used and old an had a lot of problems. Several seats had broken reclines while one even had a recline completely fallen on the seat in the row after and by this being marked as unusable with a big red warning sign.
My table was broken and was sliding down - as was the case with all 4 other tables in my ow as I realized with other passengers.
Pitch was also quite tight but the leather seat in general at least was old fashioned & comfortable.
A flight time of 40 minutes over the Alps was announced and a safety video played on the overhead screens in Slovenian & English language.
We departed on time and soon the cabin crew started the Buy on board service while I only opted for a glass of still water which is always free in Economy Class on Adria Airways ( = actually the only free option).
This Airbus also featured the OnAir entertainment & flight info streaming app.

We quickly started our descend and landed in Munich 10 minutes ahead of schedule.

And than to realize that the English Aviation Authorities were being difficult to one of my colleagues (Pilot) about scratches on their planes tray tables and actually wanted to ground that aircraft for that specific reason...... I guess they should pay a visit to Adria? Well it is apparent that Adria is cutting cost on maintaining their cabin with their annual financial struggle to become profitable.
Thanks for your report!
