As a Bosnian who lives (and grew up) in London I can say there is definitely demand for this route but no one knows about it and it doesn’t help that it is so expensive, if Ryanair started flying to Sarajevo it would definitely be a sustainable route.

Great video. Looks like a beautiful place. I wanted to thank you because I suspect your videos cured me of my recently developed fear of flying. I loved flying like you for the first 40 years of my life or so but for the past few years, I have had this terrible anxiety about it. I still flew quite a bit but I did not look forward to it and when i was on the plane, I would be incredibly nervous about the movement of the plane. I have been watching your videos (along with other flight reviewers) for a few months and the last time couple of times I have flown it has been a joy again. I think it is seeing you and the others flying over and over without any safety incidents is soothing. I even had a great couple of flights on Spirit in the US lol.

Great video! Although the flight approach over the hills was bumpy it had a great view!

Another really interesting flight and destination. Looks a really fascinating place to visit, felt a mix of east and west there. Very impressed with that lounge at Luton too. Can’t believe the airline can break even with so few passengers, a real shame but nice to virtually have the plane to yourself! Another cracking trip report Noel , thanks for sharing 👍👍😊

Great video Noel, I always enjoy when you go to all these places and use all these airlines that nobody else does.

Bosnia is a fantastic country with beautiful scenery and beautiful people. So much to see and Sarajevo is a great capital with plenty to do for a weekend. I had to fly via Dubrovnik when I last went which in some ways is better because you get to visit more of the country rather than flying straight in and straight out of the capital. Mostar and Banja Luka are also high up on the list of places to go and see and gives alternative pictures and perspectives of what we saw on the news here in the UK. Nice one for taking the chance and promoting a country that could do with more positive exposure.

Bosnia existed 1000 years ago as a Kingdom of Bosnia, there are many written dokuments, and the most famous is "Povelja Kulina bana". BR

That's crazy that you have the ability to print your boarding pass and fail to instruct you to check in at the desk upon airport arrival. The only difference is your using your own ink to print it and they just tick the box on screen that you're there. Weird, but glad they accommodated you.

Bosnia was a state in the former Yugoslavia until 1991. The Olympics were held there in 1984. The wars of the '90s were awful but as happens after a war, they have picked up and gotten on with life. I would live to visit there one day.

4 Years ago i had the same Experience with a nearly empty plane when i flew to turkey with SunExpress. Much people were afraid to fly to turkey because of terrorism, so we were only 8 people in the plane
