The flight attendants were super elegant ✨🥰
The airport of Tirana is expected to serve 8.4 million passengers in 2024, director of Albania’s civil aviation authority AAC, told local media last week In 2023, the airport of Tirana handled 7.26 million passengers, 40% more than a year earlier, the airport operator said earlier
I am aware of my under-reporting. Thanks for the correction
which seat was that?
16F
Absolutely love the video . Did you have to pay an entry fee into the lounge in addition to the annual subscription fee ??
Thanks very much. The Priority Pass plan is a Standard Plus membership which gives you 10 inclusive visits per year.
👎👎👎
Betrayer, U were in tirana now to Belgrade? Shame on u.
All Balcan People are in Brother in Bloodline.
I like Tirana more than belgrade
Its like comparing city and village, Belgrade is a metropolis.
@@carick235 hahaha belgrade is 💩
@robertmaher184 The information about Tirana Airport is so outdated. It is designed to handle up to 3M; last year, it handled 7.2 M. This year (2024), only in June, it handled 1+M passengers. Daily scheduled flights are approx 250+ (a+d)
My apologies for the massive underreporting in the stats. That really is a significant increase from previous years. I've just read that the projections are even higher. Thanks for the correction.
Greetings from Kotor, Montenegro! 🇲🇪🇪🇺
Greetings!
Nice video and Albania seems like a nice place to visit. Air Serbia is not a low-cost airline, so I think it's natural they'd only operate a flight between Belgrade and Tirana, and not serve Tirana in some other way. That's not how they work. And two flights a day is actually quite frequent for two relatively small and poor countries. Also, note that the aircraft doesn't have fixed 8 seats in business class, it changes per demand and can be reduced to one row only.
Thanks for your considered response. It's interesting how different airlines operate and serve various markets. I wasn't criticizing Air Serbia's operational strategy as two flights a day demonstates a commitment to maintaining connectivity. My comments was based on market share data, where Wizz Air holds 62% and Air Serbia has 0.05%, highlghting the scale difference between the two airlines servingTirana. Thanks for your insights. Interesting they can adjust the business class seating based on demand. Shows flexibility.
@@robertmaher184 Hi, thanks for the response. I didn't think you criticized it, I was just trying to say that they have different operational models. Wizzair establishes itself in various cities and then maintains operations from them (they have 3 or 4 aircraft in Belgrade too, as far as I remember) while Air Serbia is a much more centralized airline operating mainly, if not only, out of Belgrade.
@@danal81 Sounds like Wizz Air's competitive strategies are putting pressure on other airlines. And a challenge for traditional carriers to compete with.
@@robertmaher184 yup, indeed!
Serbia crew uniform are exactly the same as Polish Arline’s LOT simple nice and elegant !
Yes, very elegant!
Skenderbeg was a Serb
was Albanian stop this propaganda
Everybody is
😂😂😂 his ancestors still speak Albanian in Italy!!
Okay, as a Serb I know that. But what is the point of that information, with a video of this type, whose topic is not history. We Serbs are always strange. Let's be proud of our origin, but let's be people of the world, broad understandings, and let's stop fooling ourselves like the Balkans by insulting each other. Greetings from brotherly Montenegro 🇦🇱🇷🇸🇸🇮🇧🇦🇭🇷🇲🇪🌍
I like Tirana more than belgrade
nice video✈🛩
Thanks ✌
Hi Robert another great video I loved Tirana's new terminal. It sort of had a Christmas vibe making your experience quite festive. Air Serbia was a suprize in a positive way. A snack and coffee on such a short flight. The crew were smiling something the JAT crew of yesteryear would never have done Nice day for flying also...
It did have a Christmas vibe didn't it. Interesting comment about JAT. Thanks very much
Thanks Robert, it's a matter of time that Albania will become the "in place". I liked Belgrade on a fleeting famil back in the 80's and remember my flight from Dubrovnik - Vienna, with JAT. But I still prefer the name Yugoslavia
Thanks. Do you remember the aircraft type you flew in with JAT?
@@robertmaher184 I wasn't the airline geek back then, but at a guess the Lockheed L-1011, or perhaps MD11, but def not a DC10, but somewhere in the house I still have the JAT ticket !!!
Nice double - so annoying when your bags don’t make the transit, even more so when both sectors are on the same carrier, and the transit is at their hub! I’m glad you were able to be reunited so quickly!
Yes agreed. The following morning I was flying out on Air Serbia which would have made it even harder to retrieive the bags. Thanks so much
Thanks for the review as there is almost no good ones out there (of the a220)
Thanks so much!
Interesting video thank you Robert Dispite the age of the LOT Aircraft they still look comfortable
Thanks so much!
nice video✈🛩
Thanks
Nice job! In only 10 minutes you get a really good feel for the big journey.😀
Thanks. Glad to hear
nice video✈✈
Thanks!
I was wondering if you will visit Poland Robert My partner is Polish from lodz It is a great airline LOT POLSKIE and they serve water and a complementary snack on such short sectors Hope you enjoyed Krakow Dowidzenia
I really like Poland thanks. Great airlines too!
0:43 "Blackbone" :D
Yes I know. Even my English has had one to many
Hi Robert being an ex flight attendant the cabin crew member on the P.A was a joke I could hardly understand a word he was saying he was so fast Nice day for flying but not much to see The hotel definately had that Cummunist feel about it Anyone try to pickpocket you? A great video once again
My experience was that customer facing staff had a more direct way of communication compared to New Zealanders, it wasn't 'can-do'. It's as if people's attitude reflected years of economic hardship, my perception .
The announcement was fully OK and the small airline is also fully OK. I am not flight attendant but aviation fan and regular passenger, so trust me, much "larger" airlines like KLM or Lufthansa are complete joke. Bulgaria air lands, takes off and flies and has no cancelled flights like the "biggest" first class companies. I can read large amount of negative comments about BG Air but most of the people never had the chance to fly with them. Most likely you are one of this people. Or ass...oles like Josh Cahill paid by airlines to post negative comments. My last flight was with LZ-LON, the aircraft in the video, so brand new with friendly and polite staff.
So much ignorance in one comment.
@@operamusicfan Thank you for sharing your perspective. My comment was based on personal experience and perception. In New Zealand, people in customer-facing roles are generally helpful and go out of their way, which was the opposite experience in Bulgaria. My attempt to understand these cultural differences may have come across as uninformed and/or lacking understanding. if years of economic hardship have nothing to do with it, then I guess I unfortunately just met a few rude people, which is a pity. Did you have a different experience or just hold a different viewpoint you can share?
nice video✈🛩
Thanks
I’m doing this flight on Monday with a baby hope it goes well.
All the best
My cousins family are from Bucharest it was interesting footage The food served on this flight looked discusting Business class seats are a laugh All in all another great video Robert Thank you 😆
Up until recently, the night flight into Bucharest was a wide body aircraft which would make it a different experience. Interesting, your connection to Romania. Thanks so much.
Thanks Robert, when I did my travels in the 80's places like Romania, Bulgaria & Albania were classed as NOT "de rigueur" - but whatever, my next trip is Albania - Thanks for video
Yes, once off the beaten path! It's funny how travel destinations have shifted over time. Albania has piqued a lot of interest. All the best for your trip
nice video✈✈
Thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks
Great day for flying. Qatar economy food seemed to be quite good and the cabin comfortable For such a long flight I would only choose First class far more spacious. Great review once again Robert
Thanks so much!
Great trip report as usual!
Thanks so much!
Nice video!
Thanks
I've done this flight around the same time you did. Any flight over 12 hours starts to mess with your head in my books... Auckland Dubai takes the cake for me - thank god it's in an a380. When flying to Europe I break it up into 10-12 hour flights. Auckland - Tokyo, HK, San Francisco are great stopovers. Have yet to try Singapore, Vancouver or Shanghai as my half way but on the list.
I agree. Tokyo would be a great stopover.
nice video
Thanks
Another great video Robert Im noticing alot of foreign accents from the cabin crew on Air New Zealand announcements Great weather for flying I enjoyed the sceanary alot Thank you
I guess the accents reflect the changing NZ demographic. Thanks so much.
I recently flew Icelandair RT from BWI to see the Northern LIghts. I think they have a great mid range product. Professional operation. Great people working the flights. Comfortable and affordable.
Did you see the northern lights?
@@robertmaher184 We did on the first of two tries. It was on a boat and wasn't looking promising but just after getting out of a rain storm, we had a great show. Tried a bus trip a couple days later with no luck. Wish I was there tonight, likely to be a great show if not cloudy which is a problem. Next winter is supposed to be an active solar year I'm told. It is an amazing sight.
Beautiful Otago and Canterbury. Right here, folks: 5:36 that's the Rakaia River flowing out of the Southern Alps and across the Canterbury Plains. It's a braided river and at the bridge right there it's 1.6 kilometres (1 mile) wide. Drive across that in flood and it's a little disturbing.
I can imagine it would be a torrent of water in flood
Subscriber is high but views very low grow your-business I can slove the problems
i've done that round trip before! NZ413/NZ420 combo with amused flight crews
Was that an A320 flight?
A320-232
Which terminal?
Changi T2
WOW
Thanks
Robert what spectacular views from both flights Queenstown is such a pretty town a favourite of mine On those two flights was there any type of snack service? I saw the trolly on the return flight but nothing filmed Once again a wonderfull vlog I always love your talent in filming. Thanks Robert ✈️
Thanks so much. This day was my best ever views. They did offer tea/coffee on both flights
Fair injune
How much did you pay per pweson for tickets
I'm sorry I don't have the details anymore but I know it wasn't a cheap ticket.
Wie viele Stunden?
Over 16 hours
Did you enjoy Ireland ?
Yes, very much thanks
nice video
