After almost ten phone calls to Air Serbia’s call centre, I finally managed to book my business class ticket from Heathrow to Belgrade using Etihad Guest miles. I don’t think many people have ever travelled with them, so it’s worth writing a brief trip review.
Air Serbia uses Heathrow’s Terminal 4. Business class passengers can use the fast track security facility as well as the Plaza Premium Lounge.
We are flying on the A319 aircraft today. From what Google Images returns, some of their A319 fleet appear to have proper business class seats (similar to the First Class concept on US and China’s domestic routes), but in my case it’s just the economy-class-with-empty-middle-seat configuration, with which I’m sure you are familiar in Europe.
However the legroom does feel more generous than say, British Airways.
Here’s the business class menu.
I had the fish, which is okay.
All flight attendants are very nice, greeting business class passengers individually at the beginning and the end of the flight.
The 2h30 journey is uneventful, so just a couple of more words on my arrival. Exiting the airport is impressively quick, as it took me like five minutes to pass immigration and collect my luggage.
You could collect a fixed-rate taxi voucher from the office on the left when you enter the arrival hall. However they might not be respected – the taxi driver still wanted 3,000 dinars from me in lieu of 2,200 dinars, which isn’t extortionate but still a shame.
