Review of Enter Air flight Belgrad → Tel Aviv in Economy

introduction

Hello there,

This is the flight report about my return flight from Belgrade to Tel Aviv.
Originally, this flight supposed to be Arkia flight, but they sent a message that Enter Air will operate the return flight from BEG to TLV.
I already flew with Enter Air in the past and I knew what to expect.

BEG AIRPORT

I arrived to the airport 2 hours and 40 minutes before the flight.
On my way, I saw the aviation museum:

Unfortunately, the museum was close when I visited Belgrade.

Outside view of the terminal:

I entered to the terminal and headed to the check in area:

Arkia told us to be at the airport 3 hours before the flight.
However, I waited approximately an hour for the check in, since the ground staff arrived only around 7:40.

The only advantage I can think about is the seat I got.
As I mentioned, I already flew with Enter Air in the past, so I knew that I want a seat in row 16.
As you can see, it was available!

I made my way toward the passport control and security:

And also visited the toilets:

As you can see, the toilets were clean and in good condition.
I continued on my way:

It took 15 minutes to complete the passport control and security processes.
I made my way to the duty free shop:

They sold coffee from this tiny Fiat, which was cool!

The duty free shop was pretty typical.
I also visited some coffee shop, unfortunately due to the short time I had, I didn't take any photos of the coffee shop in the airport.
As it turned out, I could spend 30-40 minutes in the coffee shop or in the airport, since the check in started after the scheduled time.
No one announced about the check in.

Our gate area:

Air Montenegro Embraer ERJ-195LR (4O-AOA):

Our aircraft in the gate:

Some B737F:

After waiting 40 minutes, I made my way to the aircraft:

Wing view:

My seat:

Look how much legroom I had!
Unfortunately, all the seats were unreclinable.

We made our way to the runway.
SwiftAir ATR72F:

Some photos during the taxi procedure:

Take off video:

Shortly after take off:

Probably over the Sava river.

Shortly after take off, I went to the rear toilets:

As you can see, the toilets were in good condition.

The aircraft wasn't packed at all! Only 89 passengers.

It seems that Enter Air retrofitted new seats.

One hour and a half after take off, the crew served us a small halvah snack and cup of water:

I didn't expect to get anything on this short flight.
Other than that, there wasn't a buy on board service.

The rest of the flight was usual and boring.

Over Tel Aviv:

Landing video:

The landing was rough in my opinion.

We made our way to terminal 3:

Etihad and Elal Boeing 787s:

Another Elal Boeing 787:

Terminal 3:

We arrived to the gate:

tlv airport - terminal 3

The deboarding process was pretty fast.

Goodbye SP-ENL!

Jet bridge view:

On my way to passport control:

It was sad to see the photos of the hostages in Gaza:

I rushed to the train station, so this is where I ends my flight report, though usually long time readers know that I'll post a bit more photos.

Thanks for reading.
