NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia recently extended the opening hours of its Premium Lounge in Belgrade. The facility will now work from five in the morning until one in the morning the following day. By extending the lounge’s opening times by five hours, passengers travelling on the carrier’s midnight wave of departures will now be able to utilise its services. Besides Air Serbia, the lounge is also used by business class passengers flying with Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Flydubai and Luxair. Travellers on Qatar Airways' and Flydubai's evening flights out of Belgrade will also be able to make use of the extended work hours.
Air Serbia’s Premium Lounge represents the first airline-specific lounge in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia. It has the capacity to seat eighty people, and offers buffet dining, bar, showers, bathrooms, prayer room, USB ports and a meeting area.
They really need to replace this lounge with one that has windows.
ReplyDeleteThey are planning a new lounge in C wing
DeleteIs Dufry closing their lounge later this year?
DeleteWill it also relocate somewhere?
Yes, the current setting is temporary (the one with the near toilette access). I was informed by the staff that the new lounge will have much stricter access rules and will be a massive improvement. That being said, the entire current setting appeared truly sad. Limited food selection, claustrophobic atmoshpere, toilets outside (!), worn out furniture, only the staff was okay, polite, chatty and looking forward to improvements.
DeleteIt is true that it looks pretty worn out and is always packed. Hopefully the new one will be larger in space and more generous in offer. I am not too picky, but cold delivery pizza is really not food to be proud of in an airport lounge.
DeleteHave they fixed the showers? They were out of order last summer.
ReplyDeleteThere's your chance to check it out this summer.
DeleteActually, yes I am traveling this summer and purchased the 1 hour access, so we'll see 😆. But it's always nice to freshen up before a long flight
DeleteFinally
ReplyDeleteAt the same time they’re stopping PriorityPass or LoungeKey holders to use their lounge from the 24 th of March.
ReplyDeleteWell I understand to a degree because the lounge is getting overcrowded, especially in summer.
DeleteIt’s a nice lounge but the Dufry one, I hope they are expanding as its always so crowded.
DeleteI find it terrible that JU Silver Members can't use lounge.
DeleteWhat is the source of your information that lounge key users will not be allowed entrace after March 24th?
DeleteReception clerk after I was denied entrance four times in a row as the lounge was filled to capacity each time and only business class ticket holders were allowed entry
DeleteAir Serbia lounge opened in 2015 when airline had 2.55 milion passengers. Last year Air Serbia had 4.19 million passengers, a 64% growth over 2015. Lounge is beyond capacity, new or expanded lounge is needed.
DeleteTalking of lounges any news on the Air Serbia loyalty scheme? Is it me or with Air Serbia flights now you only get tier miles with Etihad Guest and not miles?
DeleteIt is the case if you booked light (only cabin luggage).
Delete16:56 it's normal for silver level to not get lounge access in every program I know of, which airline gives lounge access for silver level?
DeleteEtihad allows it in AUH and JU is the part of that program.
DeleteIn the Lounge key application it is written that the Air Serbia Premium lounge will not be part of the program effective 25MAR24. And now it is almost impossible to enter this lounge with a Key Lounge membership.
ReplyDeleteThey should have already made it 24 hours then.
ReplyDeleteThey need an Air Serbia lounge in Nis, Tivat and Podgorica.
ReplyDeleteThey announced that they will have a lounge in the new INI terminal
