Air Serbia Flight Review is part of the #NoCollusion, No Albania for TPOL where I break my 100 country count mark. See the World Map for where I’ve been.
Albania is not a convenient country to visit (see Wiki Airports: Finding Flights to the Unbeaten Path). Getting to the Albanian Riviera was a pain (see Albanian Riviera: Beautiful, But How Do You Get There?). Getting to Tirana from the Riviera was pleasant but not convenient (see Siranda to Tirana: The Perfect Minibus). It’s no surprise that leaving Albania was also laborious. Instead of going west to Slovenia, I first had to go east to Serbia because there is no direct flight.
While it was not as bad as TPOL’s Worst Flight Experiences, the Air Serbia flight was what I expected. The plane was cramped, very old, and uncomfortable. What’s important is that Air Serbia has a great safety rating even if the experience wasn’t pretty. Here are the pictures of the prop plane from Belgrade to Ljubljana. Make your own assessment.
Is the boredom killing you? It is pretty hard to get excited about travel right now. The only thing to do is to wait on hold to talk to a representative, while wrapping my head around 50 different scam-ish cancellation/refund policies.
My schedule is basically the same. Weekends suck. Where’s my Yang $
Just a geographic correction: Belgrade is nearly due north of Tirana, while Slovenia is north northwest.
Fair.
