Air Serbia NYC-TLV, Add Your Name To The Wiki For Minyan/Trips!

[TrueCaller]

Done.

Thanks allot for your endless help!

[Dovdovmoneytree]

Dan, although I am extremely excited about this trip, I also have serious concerns.  I usually don't place  much value in online reviews since I have found that the expectations of people can vary greatly and many are way too spoiled. In this case I am worried.

All I am reading online is post after post of positively horrible service in every aspect of the trip. Lost luggage for WEEKS, damaged luggage, zero customer service or attempts to solve issues, last minute trip delays and/or cancellations. Attempts to charge twice for luggage and the list goes on. Basically third world country service. On my own, I would cancel (still in 24 hrs) but I don't want to disappoint my kids.
Is this what we should look forward to??

I saw that too Dan 

As I said; I generally don't apply to much value to online reviews. The United and AA reviews just shows what I mean. There are millions of travelers, always will be some sour experiences. With a 3rd world country national airline, one begins to think more...... but I definitely get your perspective. Would love to hear from the Chabad guys out there, I assume they fly it more frequently.

Also I think if you really look thru the AA and United reviews, you'll likely find the kind of stupid complaints I refer to above. Kvetching that the gate agent didn't smile broadly enough etc etc, maybe extra fees, delays cancellations etc Not every review about broken and lost luggage. Fly along with me, I'll feel alot better

Why do you say that! Air Serbia will not reasonably accommodate you in case of delays or cancellations and they do not have good customer service.

Forgive me if I may be accusing you but a little bit you seem to have an axe to grind? All I am trying to do is feel comfortable with my booked trip on Air Serbia. I appreciate all input on this. Anyone that actually flew etc I don't want to land in Israel with no luggage for 3 weeks! Or some of the other issues mentioned in the reviews....

[KSMH]

Forgive me if I may be accusing you but a little bit you seem to have an axe to grind?

I do have an axe to grind! I was forced to buy a last  minute ticket after Air Serbia failed to accommodate PAX after cancelation, there is nothing wrong of making you aware; if something were to go wrong you might have to shell out some $$$. I don't mean to scare you, your seat might actually be comfortable but it doesnt change the facts. You get what you pay for and in this case you are getting the risk of an inconvenience incase of any delay/cancellation.....

No! Of course there is nothing wrong with you making people aware! That is precisely what I am asking for here and why I posted this. It just sounded like you were being sarcastic but you were not mentioning any personal experiences.....

I'm worried about delays (I land 5:15 PM Thursday evening in NY. All I need is a significant delay to really mess me up)
Worried about cancellations, lost luggage, damaged luggage etc etc and worst of all-  online reviews say there is noone to talk to, zero customer service.

Same as every airline. Spend time worrying if you want, but it'll do you no good.

What does PAX mean? Does the insurance pay you back the last minute ticket?

I can still cancel and not worry 

[flyingace]

FWIW. I think it's wise to be aware of all that can go wrong and to plan accordingly; don't pack expensive stuff, use minimal carry ons to avoid being fleeced, etc. And be prepared that you might be delayed... It's when people have expectations that aren't met that they tend to get really upset. Don't expect full price service and you should be fine.

[Dovdovmoneytree]

For the benefit of all -I sent a message to the Chabad in Belgrade inquiring on the airline. The response

PAX = Pasenger

Most CC insurances wont pay for airline schedule changes.

No need to worry but its healthy to be aware, think AA. And JU is worse then many.
