intro
Hello my friends! I'm glad to see you here and hope that you will enjoy in this report as much as I did ?
Soooo let's fly to our story ?
thessaloniki - skg - airport
Few years ago SKG Airport got new terminal ( Terminal 2 ) with good organization and easy to get what you need at the moment, and that's check in area. When you get to the airport you will see big sign with airlines you can fly with from that Terminal, but it's connected with Terminal 1 so if you get there it is not hard to go trough and get to Terminal 2. It's well organized, so you will see tables and signs everywhere around you.
When you enter the Terminal you will see a well organized check in area where you can make it so fast ( well done SKG ground stuff ), in my case it was a bit more than 3 minutes to be done with check in because it wasn't rush hour at the airport that much and a lot of people care about all informations you need if you don't know the procedure.
After check in it's time for security control. It is near to check in area so you will be done with it as soon as possible, in my case it was done about 7-8 minutes after the check in and luggage dropping.
The way to security area is so beautiful and is really good marked.
When you get done with security control you will be in shopping / duty free / and other sores area where you can find so good stores with good prices, and duty free area is full of interesting products from Greece so if you forgot to buy some gift for someone of for yourself, don't worry, you have a good last chance for it.
Passport control is the next station and when you finish it you can enjoy in your view from the Airport to runway and other parked airplanes.
*I don't like this dotted type of windows foils because you can not see other parked airplanes, but if you want you can always find some parts wrese the view is okay
The flight was delayed about 1 hour so I have some more time to enjoy in this view to runway - arrivals and departures from SKG Airport.
When our A319 landed we were ready for the flight so the bus was there in 3 minutes to get us to the airplane.
Our airple was parked by new A321 neo of AEGEAN Airines, so beautiful airplane and it was my first time to be that close to it, I was amazed how beautiful and full of details it was.
airplane interior
I already have the whole story how the AirSerbia A319 looks like, but if you haven't read that report you will get some details here too.
I'm 1,9m ( 6,23ft ) tall, so the best option in A319 is always 11F because that is exit row, so I can enjoy in beautiful view and have a great legroom, so full package included if you ask me.
In your seat pocket you have Elevate magazine where you can find a lot of fantastic reports and stories from Serbia, Elevate meal card for longer flights and safety card of course.
This time I had the whole row for me and I hope that it will be normal thing in my future flights. *just kidding of course
The only bad thing I have to say are a bit dirty windows, but not bad how can it be.
flight
It was a short flight, but I wanted to use that time as good as possible and enjoy in every moment of it. When you have a view to Thessaloniki before your departure and Serbian landscape during landing, belive me that you can't get enough of it.
As we said, the flight was short so you will get bottle of water and small package of Plazma ( famous Serbian biscuit product ).
Elevate magazine is always nice option to read because you can find a lot of interesting informations about aviation, traveling and lifestyle, and as you can see you will find the fleet of AirSerbia and see how fast it's growing ( network of the flights and fleet of course ) because if you check the same information from few years ago the difference is obviously huge, the best example is A330 and A220 fleet expansion.
Maybe the weather in Thessaloniki and Belgrade is rainy, but the weather above the clouds is always nice.
belgrade - beg - airport, serbia
Welcome to Serbia, welcome to BEG !
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is well organized and this line of Air Serbia tails is something what you can't forget that easy.
I'm happy to be here, but not happy to say that this adventure has come to the end.
Thank you for being here and can't wait to see you here or at some airport again!

Thanks for sharing, I’ve always had a soft spot for JU! They used to be one of the best in Europe, but looks like the post-EY purse strings are tightening up and effecting their service standards. They used to serve snack bags with sandwiches on these short flights. I like the poster with the new A330 special livery at BEG (though have that DY vibe). Haven’t seen the Tesla or Pupin ones in person yet, but glad they are trying to showcase their iconic scientists.
Glad you like it !
There are some things that you need to change with every airline, that's normal, so definitely we need to focus on good things about it if it is not that big problem ( unfriendly cabin crew, dirty planes, bad food, etc. ), but here I can say that the biggest problem was dirty window, but it is not that important thing for everyone, so need to say that beside it I couldn't find any problem.
In this case that small quantity ( one small package of biscuit + water ) wasn't big thing because the flight was a bit more than an hour so you don't have a time to eat, it would't be problem if you have a flight of half hour more, however they should add something more of add sandwich instead of this bisquit, but okay, I hope that they will change it.
Thank you for comment, have a safe flights!
