I flew with them in economy class a few times, and they were awesome. So friendly and very helpful to myself and others around me . Love their crew . Very positive experience.
Air Serbia is a normal company just like any other. They are trying very hard to modernize their fleet, introduce new destinations, new livery, new uniforms. I have flown many times with Air Serbia and there was no negative experience at all.
It’s very good company!
Agreed, Air Serbia is miles ahead of Croatia Airlines
Flew economy once with family of 5 and i gotta tell you it was amazing, entire staff was super friendly from checking from NY to Belgrade. Food was amazing and so relaxing for a 8hr flight, definitely planning a trip in summer.
That is awesome!
Greetings from Serbia welcome to hit me here to show you Povlen mountain . Ziveli.
Same , I am a dark skinned guy ( mixed ) and I was skeptical about Serbia and air Serbia.
The experience was so good, I was blown away. The country was so beautiful, amazing people and absolutely amazing airlines
What's Bizarre about this trip????
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
Agreed!!! Better than most!
More like JAT, no?
@@milohrnic2023 air serbia rn is a BIG upgrade compared to JAT even in 2010,or even Air serbia 5 years ago
New fleet, big network, good departure times and better crew
@@CytrusF1 JAT, JAL is Japan Airlines btw. Business class Air Serbia looks a lot better than the old JAT days, but Noel did mention that economy class was much different. I'm not surprised by the classist treatment.
This guy is full shit!
I assume that Air Serbia is the reincarnation of JAT, the Yugoslavian airline,or part of it at least? It's claim to fame being the longest distance anyone's fallen to Earth 🌍 and survived without a parachute!It was over Czechoslovakia as I recall this happened.
Yes, JAT was direct rebrand to Air Serbia. Everything JAT owned is now owned by Air Serbia.
yup Air Serbia is the exact same company as JAT, just different name :)
Some of the older FA’s comes straight from the communist era, i’ve had a few of them 😅
You re on point for both
Yes, it shows the quality alternative to the Munich air disaster. You're far better off with Air Serbia - they still use JAT codes
@@Error_404_Not_Found_timed_out_ Strange comment. All but one person died on JAT Flight 367 but almot 50% survived the Munich air disastere
Serbia Airlines flying from 1928!!!!!!!! Great service! Fantastic crews! Excellent food! Well done Air Serbia!
Looks like a great airline
I became an Air Serbia fan in September. They offer great Serbian wines on board. Even got my first Serbian language lessons on board “hvala!”
Belgrade is under renovation. The weird thing about this is that the last 100 m to/from the terminal is going through a construction site.
About dodgy taxis: no, the meter was on , and in a very fancy car. And +-20€ to city centre. At midnight.
it's all good. Belgrade has two hours of electricity per day, and you can flush the toilet once a week. God help you, if it is more than once.....
Wow, Air Serbia seems to offer everything! Maybe I can even find a Serbian babushka wife on Air Serbia!
@@carrisasteveinnes1596 i think you never was in Serbia.
@@carrisasteveinnes1596 looks like the last time you've been to Serbia is back in 1995
How's the NATO damage to the city? They may get again, If Kosovo flares up again.
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.
Not true. Every time I fly, I see passengers from all over, specially Middle East and Asia?
@@cinoeye, most of which are not eligible for ESTA and also require a full consular visa.
@@goytabr But he wasn't entering the US; he was leaving.
@@cohen200, I know, and that's very strange, as Noel himself remarked in the video. There is no reason to demand a visa or equivalent when LEAVING the country, as the U.S. doesn't even have passport control on exit. Yet somehow they were demanding to know how the passenger had entered the country... But the point is, if they ask that at the Air Serbia counter to every non-American passenger who checks in, they should be totally familiar with ESTA, but somehow they weren't.
That was odd, how international airport personnel doesn't even know what ESTA is. 🤔
Noel, the best part of the video is to watch the majestic takeoff of the airplane. I highly recommend not speeding up that part.
Agreed. Speeding up the video and adding music is unusual for an Aviation channel.
I know geography is bad in schools but how Belgrade is in East Europe, when is it more between Central and Southern Europe?
You know this we get this as discrimination of our county?
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).
I love the way everyone looks around the screen at check in rather than use the little slot in the screen
I flew to Serbia already 4 times , always great experience. I love 💕 Belgrade , so much history, nightlife- amazing woman 👩/ food / everything! Visit Serbia 🇷🇸 visit Belgrade . Regards from Miami 🇺🇸
Thank you best regards from Belgrade

And the bizarre part is where exactly??
Who buys this ridge wallet at it’s ridiculous price. £84.00 in the uk.
Thanks for this vlog. Safe travels. Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄🎁
I completely agree with your observation. Unfortunately if you are in economy class there is no hospitality at all. There is huge shortage of young people willing to do this kind of work so current employees don't care knowing that the management or company is not going to do nothing about it. They all need hospitality training! And on all flight they should introduce a flight review cards to be handed out to passengers while exiting the plane.
Please continue with more business class reviews so I can live vicariously through you.
Youre totally wrong on cabin crew in economy, theyre awesome! Flew with them a couple of times and always lovely
Agreed! Try flying Air Canada's economy and you will see what bizarre means. They just don't give a s***.
How could be be wrong? He SAW and HEARD it happening with his own eyes. Don't make a blanket statement like that about all their Economy crew being awesome .. clearly, they have a bunch who are not.
@@N145PM It's very much possible that they were just conversing in Serbian and Serbian often sounds rude to foreigners... We talk normally but people think we're yelling at each other and fighting. Happens to me all the time.
7 Thank yous in 1:51 seconds..not your record though. 4 thank yous in 3 seconds when boarding too Another over sensationalized title to get attention...nothing bizarre about the flight in fact it looked quite nice...Not fair to Air Serbia....
Parisien🇨🇵 The best n'd friendly National Airline in Europe Is Air Serbia .From Paris CDG to Belgrade (BEG) ♥️🇷🇸 connecter to.BEY 🇱🇧.MERCI AIR SERBIA FOR SUCH OF EXCELLENT SERVICE MIND🇨🇵🇱🇧💋♥️🇷🇸🇷🇸✨✨
Weird how you had to show your esta leaving..
Good video but not sure what is Bizarre ?
Anyone who flew JAT back in the day is not surprised by your experience at all.
What’s with the check-in clowns not saying’please’ once??!!
When you said Lufthansa is terrible, i felt so Happy because you're right 👍🏻
You cant order a "healthy meal" in Air Serbia, Serbia is the country of great meat dishes!
Lots of storage,recipe to forget ur things behind in the plane
You must be fun to be around. Oh, wait.
They were a couple of cheerful people at check in?
Great video! Pretty cool that you've been through all the JFK terminals now, be cool to see you going through Terminal 8 now BA etc have moved in with AA, and they have revitalised everything!
Jesus, even American business class lounges are awful, just like their airline cabins and service.
Is there nothing that the US does right, or even close to half standard when compared to Europe, Asia and Oceania?
Even South Africa has amazing business class carriers and lounges.
Come on America, try and keep up at least a little.
And before I get shouted down by throngs of upset people, I am US born and bread in west Ct. I just don't think our country is keeping up in the air travel competitiveness sector, and in terms of value for money and quality of service.
Quick question, What is you're go-to airline. And what has a better economy experience, QATAR Airways OR Emirates Airways? Love the content btw!
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!
I am intrigued to learn of the ESTA program, so that is a bonus for your good videos.
ESTA for departure? Really?
Hey Noel, can you do round the world in just all budget airlines please? Love to see that
Noel did London-Kathmandu a while back on budget airlines for about thruppence ha’penny.
My son is flying them on FCO to ORD on July. I hope all will be well. I think it will be intresting for sure. I must say, the website functioned pretty well.
You should try to do what I do every month and fly out to an oilrig? I know may not be as easy as you think BUT we had the one show on our rig one time. Would be a very entertaining video :)
Why don’t you try it and fly economy with them long haul so we can see for ourselves
Sometimes they need the bad press to improve 🤔
It's great you fly Noel, so we don't have to.
No Loo review?
sorry if this is too personal but why are you traveling on an ESTA but you have TSA pre-check meaning you must have US permanent residency?
We aren't permanent residents yet. We are here on a visa & going for our green cards next.
@@noelphilips but you were still able to get TSA pre check? I wasn't eligible until my green card
love your vids be safe allways
What timing, I'm from. Serbia and my US visa application was just approved a few days ago and I'm now debating whether to book the direct flight from Belgrade or look for a cheaper option with one or more connecting flights. Not that I cannot afford the Air Serbia ticket, but I hate spending a lot on plane tickets, it's almost like a challenge :D Not trying to defend out corrupted, incompetent government, but the Belgrade airport looked better when I landed there in October compared to August. Not sure if the renovations are still in progress.
She was happy at check in.
Why is the check in staff cold and borderline rude? The eye rolls were “LOUD”
What happened to the breakfast?
Thought esta was for arrival but was weird asking when leaving maybe it's air Serbia rules . So if u refuse to show it what will they do ??? If refuse will definitely give a parachute and jump off over Ocean 🤣🤣
AS IF SERBIANS WOULD GIVE YOU JUST A SALAD... xD
Me trying to find what was BIZARRE about it 🫠
9:16 Look at all that flat. Absolutely beautiful!
hallelujah friends and family
Maybe the restrooms are only as clean as the last 50 ppl( in the lounges). Just a thought. 😬that's alot of homes near the airport
I’ve flown once with this terrible airline. Not only were the flight attendants rude and nasty but the food was disgusting! They didn’t even serve hot food on a long haul flight.
The lady in the check-in area is pretty.
so, are we allowed into Serbia now??? ...back in '96 i got knocked back at the border by a 7ft tall squaddie with a 9mm pistol... had to get the ferry to Ancona from Patras .... and why did that plane fly over Blighty? ...why not up the channel? ...bet they all detour around on coronation day.........
Im flying every Year at least once with Air Serbia - never had a bizarre or bad Experience.
Sorry, what was bizarre?
No plastic smiles, no plastic food, no plastic faces - seems to be bizarre for many westerners.
How about genuine smiles?
@@ianjones7488Who cares about smiles?I flew few times from Belgrade to Chicago and they are awesome.
Spot on 👌 Those fake smiles on EU is horrible. I would rather have a sincere pissed off clerk then fake smiled...
Better to see an equally distributed fake smiles across all classes in the West than such a rude way of bahaving towards lower classes and a (fake) nice way of behaving towards upper classes on the Balkans. That's simply the way how these people (or you people) work and that's why I probably won't ever come back to live there again. Im not an westerner, btw..
@@ianjones7488they do smile at people if they like them or something happens they warrents that reaction. I have a poodle who flies with us and everybody is smiling at her.
Slightly exaggerated title
Serbia is south Europe, why do you all have to be so ignorant.
Za Britance i amere ti je to sve istocna evropa zalud ti je objasnjavati
@@rankoorovic7904 pa i kod nas ljudi veruju u to iz nekog razloga.
What exactly was bizarre about your flight? You haven't shown us any of this alleged behaviour. Air Serbia is an incredible airline with the worlds best pilots. I've flown with them many times before and they have been nothing short of spectacular. Must be you!
Serbia is a part of Europe. "Almost Europe"... That's so rude. Eastern Europe is Europe! You have to read about Serbia and its culture, science, history, etc. Try to be better informed and educated before commenting about other countries and nations.
Keep your hair on! He’s american now, ignorance is to be expected.
Lighten up
"What can an American know about the history or culture of other countries when their own history is only 250 years long?"
Serbia never contributed in Reinesance and does not share history with Europeans. More often then not Serbs tend to interpretate history as if they either have very poor schooling or live in paralel universe, so detached from European history.
Either way it’s a dump, let the Turks have it.
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. 😅
Shouting doesn't seem hospitable and friendly 😂
lol idk about that. My serbian husband thought it was awful and never flew with them again. He said he refused a meal because he wasn't hungry so the flight attendant "snatched" it and cursed him under her breath so he cursed her back and it surprised her because she didn't think he was Serbian lmao.
@@veevi5279 My husband is Serbian too! ^_^ However, I have noticed that mainly the women are rude. One time, the woman got annoyed because she was asking me something in Serbian and I didn't understand. The guys were really nice though.
@@karenalfaro337 Don’t mess with our woman 😉😂
I heard Germans were that way before world war 2 and after WWII
So you landed in Serbia and said almost Europe? Are you ok. mate? xD There is a thing its called Geography, you should look it up, its never too late to learn something :)
not for long methinks. Not EU for sure. Maybe alliance with ruzzians. Perfect.
@@bestinclass0012 When did people became so unintelligent? Serbia is Geographical literally in the middle of Europe. EU is political project, it has nothing to do with Serbia.
@@Komentariram Geographically. yes. But socially and economically, more tied to Ruzzia. And now even more. NATO may have to step in again and give another lesson if they stir trouble. You know this. I hope not. Cheers.
Air Serbia is an very nice airline with polite crew and excellent service
Orders a healthy meal,then moans about it!! 😂😂
Not really BIZARRE but hey another fun video!
It was never Aeroflot, it was Etihad...
Westerners often mistake Serbian / Slavic informal and often noisy banter as rudeness. I'm sure folks over in the economy were also having great time, in their own way. 😂
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 😄
@@donato286 Bulgaria the same
Yes but people who work on planes should know better. I don’t talk at work like I do with my mates when havibg a beer. It’s common sense.
@@DDtch6669 people who work on planes ??? what are you talking about ?
@@damirzanne Stewardess, Service People on planes/Flights.
What do you mean by "im almost in Europe"? Balkan is cradle of Europe.
When most westerners say Europe they're really just thinking about Western Europe, like EU (but with addition of Albania and Georgia, who knows, and well, Greece). But I guess this is a similar debate to America vs USA. Undoubtedly Eastern and Western Europe are extremely different.
@@yaush_ Educated westerners know what Europe is and which countries are in Europe.
Nah mate, the game of “how many passengers you can fit in a small area” is actually a Ryanair game
Lufthansa as well on their economy flights. I was shocked that some much smaller companies offered more than them
Or any Asian low cost carriers
Show more economy experiences please. Would have enjoyed seeing you getting shouted at and prodding the crew. lol
Too right!
Yep, we don't fly first class we have relatives to look after.
I love Air Serbia. I flew them from AMS to Istanbul in business. Food was reasonable. Spring rolls are not that special. But the wine was good.
What was so bizarre about that flight?
Air Serbia just opened direct flight to China
Still not sure what was so bizarre about it, you seemed like you had a pretty decent flight.
We are back in Europe, almost.... someone is having little geography troubles
It's not about geography- it's about arrogance. In their heads they think they are somehow better 🙄 ...
But who cares .... Its just who they are ...
BTW- Serbia is not even "Eastern Europe" , its Balkan and Balkan with three other peninsulas ( Italian and Iberian ) , we are all in South Europe...
Kompleksi
After Brexit no Brit can say we are “almost in Europe” lol
Almost Europe? Such a Brit statement.
Actually, quite a snobby and unnecessary comment, IMHO. I wonder how Noel would feel if somebody characterized Britain as "almost Europe"?
Serbia is actually Europe compared to UK which is an Island 😁
“We are back in Europe, almost in at least in east of Europe” what a racist statement. European civilization started from the balkan peninsula for your info.. so you can call now yourself european.
The subtitling in this is really bad! ESTA became Esther; Aeroflot was consistently Air France. I don’t know who you’re paying to do it but possibly consider finding someone else - much of your audience will thank you!
'Back in Europe, well almost anyway, Eastern Europe at least'....nothing like telling all Eastern Europeans and the countries they come from, that they are not quite European, just Eastern European. Last time I checked you put a foot anywhere in Europe you are in it, or does your Europe only start at France, Germany, Italy and head West.
What was bizarre about it? Seemed rather average
You must understand the Serbian culture. From the surface, they might appear cold and unfriendly but peel the onion and you will find a kind warm soul. I have been on the airline many times in both economy and business and cannot complain. Wonderful experience. Remember, the culture is honest and real. When they smile, they mean it!
❤ Greetings from Serbia.
There's no time to peel "someone's onions" - it's an airport. People paid to fly, and not to give someone therapy sessions. Professional behavior should be expected.
@@AngelFox-mi4tt That isnt what he meant
@@Donvasqueze And did I say that's what he meant? 🙄🤨
@@Donvasqueze It looks like you didn't understand what I meant.
I'm not sure if you do all your own video editing/music stuff, but I just wanted to say that I love the addition of cooler music to your vids. It seems like it's been improving over the last several videos (not that it sucked before - just that it's noticeably better).
I just figured I'd mention it. 😀
I've flown on AirSerbia multiple times long haul and in economy I have never had a bad experience, the crew were friendly and it was just an overall peaceful flight every single time with them.
Actually go back to back into economy before passing judgement.
What you see is not necessarily what you get.
Noel should actually go back to back into economy before passing judgement.
What you see is not necessarily what you get.
Game, set and match to Air Serbia then?
You can tell this is a guy who likes bs a lot xD
Wait until you have to go through the 'new' Belgrade terminal . . . all new metal and lino . . . 1920's service
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
Nice to see you trying Air Serbia`s product again, this time in long haul. I hope you enjoyed some time in Belgrade as well, it`s worth visiting! Safe travels, greetings from Belgrade!
There's something oddly comforting about the level of Britishness Noel has achieved, I think there's a compliment in there somewhere 😂
*tries the salad* "yep.. it's a salad" 🤣
Yes mate, very British except that he's taken his family over to the USA to live on a permanent basis so I think it fair to say that he's now become an expatriot? Shame really because that's caused me to change my regard for him now. I think it's horrible when people suddenly swap their allegencies.
@@timsedmunds stop watching then
@@automaticacidemer just wish he would stop filming him shoving food in his mouth
At least he's settled in one of the most "Un-British" of all the states : Tejas!!"
Air Serbia is a throw back to the days of JAT & the old DC-10s. Those were the days
JAT - "Jugoslovenski AeroTransport". I flew in the 70s on Sud Aviation Caravelle as well, going with my parents from Belgrad to Dubrovnik on holidays.
No loo review, Noel. You missed that one :). I was so looking forward to the loo review on Air Serbia's A330.
I liked when you were “ghetto” traveler , riding economy , but the more subscribers , the more business class trips you make and you are becoming like Nonstop Dan, and losing your edge. It would be so much fun if you could record you being shouted at in economy class. This is just more of the same that is already on TH-cam.
Mere mortals like us don't have a zillion miles and, fly in economy. I agree with you and your assessment of Nonstop Dan, he's so full of it sometimes. At least Noel is more humble but, enough of featuring upgraded classes of service that most of us can't afford. We would like to make our own informed decisions when traveling cattle class.
NS Dan is a prissy dud. Noel keeps it real despite class and isn’t a snob.
They are all a bit samey - everyone shows you the toilet as if there's going to be something really different in there one day like an outside balcony! Noel repeats stuff loads and loads of times though so slow people like me can keep up (it's surely not lazy editing).
@@waarce perhaps Noel could make a walk through and show Econ classes when he’s not seated in them.
@@Chris-dm9eu is not the same. He needs to sit and fly in cattle class.
I loved travelling with Air Serbia from LHR for work a couple of times out in Novi Sad! Glad I wasn't paying for it though as I remember it was a fair old chunk to fly with these guys even in Europe. 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. Would love them to introduce more transatlantic routes not only JFK-BEG
Flights to ORD start May 17. Tickets are already on sale. They want to commence one more TATL service later this year but its not sure which.
F the EU and their pseudo American corporate BULLDHIT I will be ashamed the day we sell out
Serbia will never be a member of the EU partially because 80% of Serbs is against and and partially because the EU and old enemies of Serbia won't let Serbia in. EU is toast, BRICS is the future.
TBF. Serbian can sound angry and shouty, but they could just be talking about the weather :D You never know.
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 😉
@@alexbojanic7363 and in Rome they do it to(porchetta) ,so shut up!
@@alexbojanic7363 hahaha koji si lik
While its great your in business class, it would have been nice to see in the economy class.
Yep
Please dont ever order the healthy option again Noel lol. The meal is the main attraction for me
Noel ordered it so we didn't have to XD
Looks like what you get if you make the mistake of ordering a diabetic meal. Known as "rabbit food" although that said it looked unexpectedly fresh and pleasant for an airline salad.
