AirSerbia cabin crew in economy on their short haul flight is aligned with a demand that average Serbian ppl have in hospitality in general. There are no fake smiles, no fake politeness and formality and the service is fast and efficient. They are far from rude and are actually super polite and helpful, however, that approach might appear bizarre to foreigners. It's not only AirSerbia, but the whole country in general. People are super hospitable and friendly, they sometimes don't seem like it. 😅

I'm frequent flyer on AirSerbia (a bit of shame that you didn't show the livery of the plane) and they are growing to become the LOT of ex-yu region, good connectivity, almost 100 destinations, renewed fleet (no more laud atr72-200, as they got atr72-600s now) and the crew is absolutely amazing - 98% of the time. There are a few crew members that are usually grumpy, but that's what you get when you are expanding and hiring like crazy. Overall JU is in my opinion one of the best regional airlines, especially for me flying from Slovenia where we don't have a national carrier, they replaced Lufthansa as my go-to choice

As a Serbian, I can confirm there have been instances of confusion. Last year I took my Brazilian husband to Serbia for the first time. At the airport, when a taxi driver asked us 35 eur to downtown Belgrade, my tone and speed of speech quickly took a not-so-agreeable turn and it was obvious to my husband I was arguing with the taxi driver. Another taxi driver eventually took us downtown for a more reasonable 20 eur. At some point, the taxi driver and I discussed street names and how they changed since my last visit. Once we exhausted the topic we both just stopped talking (rather abruptly now that I think about it, because there was nothing else left to say). In that moment of silence, my husband goes - is everything ok, did you argue again? Puzzled for a second by his question because I had already forgotten about the fact I argued at the airport, I ask him - what do you mean? And he says - what was it that you two argued about until a minute ago? It sounded like the argument you had at the airport. I chuckled and explained we just chatted about street names and everything was OK. This was our first trip to Serbia and he previously hadn't had the chance to hear my interactions in Serbian in various contexts to be able to tell the difference. 😅 It seems the cadence of a simple banter sometimes appears argumentative, although it is also true that we express agitation more readily. I don't know if they'd like to hear it, but I'd compare us to Spaniards and Italians. I haven't been to Portugal yet, but my husband has a few times and he says the Portuguese come across as rude to him. In Brazil, they are apparently much more happy-go-lucky, especially in hospitality. In Europe in general, hospitality is not always so... well... hospitable 😄

A sign of how little this overseas Air Serbia route is used by anyone other than Serbians and Americans was the fact that the counter agent at JFK was puzzled with you having ESTA --- he apparently didn't even know what ESTA was. Serbians are not eligible for ESTA and need to have a consular visa to enter the U.S. Their Croatian, Slovene, and Hungarian neighbours ARE eligible for ESTA, though, and I would expect some of them to use an Air Serbia connection if the price was right, but apparently, not even they use it much.

It makes sense that the cabin crew is ex-Etihad as they still hold a minority stake in the airline with 80-odd percent being government owned - the new fleet being testament to Serbia's charge to be an EU member by 2025. Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade is also an interesting experience with a mini air museum in the departures terminal, your bags in the arrivals hall coming out the boot of a Fiat 500XL which are made in Kragujevac and still being the only airport i've travelled to where i've been on a plane during de-icing.

Sorry, what was bizarre?

Hi Noel, Regarding Terminal 1 at JFK this was actually the first of the "new" terminals built at JFK, it was launched in 1998, which isn't that long ago but it has aged horrendously. One of the worst features is security which is in a completely inadequate space that quickly gets brutally crowded and overwhelmed. Also, if your plane is a larger widebody parking at gates 1 to 3, does requires a tug to tow into the gate and this can often lead to epic delays as the ground experience at JFK is usually quite chaotic. But the days of the current Terminal 1 are numbered as it will be replaced by a new, much larger facility that will encompass the current Termninal 2 (which is the oldest terminal at JFK still in operation).

Please continue with more business class reviews so I can live vicariously through you.

My guess is that you needed to show your ESTA in case the aircraft needed to return to the US for some reason. Many years ago I had a flight Boston to Heathrow with Virgin.

We were actually wrongly shown back through to departures without going through immigration which caused issues when I next returned to the US....

@@warrengibson7898 ESTA stands for 'Electronic System for Travel Authorization'. Citizens from nations including the United Kingdom need to apply for an ESTA before travelling the the USA. No ESTA = no entry. If you apply for an ESTA, it is valid for 5 years so for most of us from the UK who travel a lot this is really a trivial issue. Essentially, we need to prove we aren't a convicted criminal or terrorist. The check is to see if a (UK citizen) would be allowed back into the US if the plane needed to return. It really is nothing and for a UK citizen to be asked for their ESTA on departure from the US is a bit unusual.

love your vids be safe allways

Did I miss the loo review? But never mind, I enjoyed the episode! Thanks again for an entertaining show!

Can I just say I had a fantastic time visiting my friends in Serbia in 2019. I flew Delta / Alitalia. Belgrade wins for coolest baggage claim (with Fiat hatch backs sticking out of the walls).

I am intrigued to learn of the ESTA program, so that is a bonus for your good videos.

Air Serbia is an very nice airline with polite crew and excellent service

Ah yes, thay classic match of a salad and brandy 😄 nice one noel

Love Big Bang Theory! Sheldon was hilarious!

There'll be Air Serbia flight grate open in Chicago start in May 2023. I do round trip. I hope I can get connected flight to Air Serbia so I can go straight to Belgrade

What's Bizarre about this trip????

The captions have them wanting to see your "Esther", which is funny in its own right.

What was bizarre about it? Seemed rather average

When you said Lufthansa is terrible, i felt so Happy because you're right 👍🏻

Bizarre but still a great flight, thanks a lot 🙂

Thanks for watching!

The only bizarre thing that I have noticed during the flight is that you would mix “Brandy” which is actually a moonshine with salad…. I must admit if I was one of the cabin crewmembers I would find that combination very odd and assume that alcoholism is behind it. How bizarre how bizarre

Why is it bizarre. To me it is more bizarre that you expect that somebody, who is trying this spirit for the first time would now a right combination. I also think it is even more bizarre that Serbians still roast a pig on a stick in 21 century when air-fryers are available 😉

Who buys this ridge wallet at it’s ridiculous price. £84.00 in the uk.

Bro, Serbia is Southern Europe, and yes, you are in Europe when you get here. Also, glad you had a nice flight, by the title; I thought something weird happened. Cool video!

My auntie was a air hostess in the 1970s for Jat airlines . She swapped shifts with another hostess . That plane exploded mid air . The air hostess aboard fell to earth in the tail of the plane and survived. I think my auntie must have had god watching over her that day
