Air Serbia continues to offer fantastic New York promotions

• Double and triple miles for Air Serbia Etihad Guest members
• Introductory fares extended to 2 March due to popular demand

Air Serbia, the national airline of the Republic of Serbia, has announced a special promotion for members of Air Serbia Etihad Guest, the award-winning multi-airline frequent flyer loyalty program, to celebrate the planned launch of non-stop flights between Belgrade and New York.

As part of the promotion, Air Serbia Etihad Guest members who book seats to or from New York will receive double or triple bonus miles, depending on whether they are travelling in Economy or Business Class. The promotion will be available until 19 March 2016 and the bonus miles can be earned on flights between 23 June and 23 July 2016.

For example, a member of the loyalty program with a return Economy Class ticket from Belgrade to New York would normally be entitled to up to 9,008 Etihad Guest miles, but with this promotion will earn up to 18,016 miles. A return Business Class ticket, which would normally be worth up to 15,764 Etihad Guest miles, will earn the ticket holder up to 47,292 miles during the promotion.

The Air Serbia Etihad Guest New York promotion does not apply to tickets which have been purchased at discounted rates, or if Etihad Guest Miles have been redeemed to book the trip. The promotional bonus miles will be credited within 60 days from the travel date.

Additionally, in response to tremendous interest and popular demand, Air Serbia has extended the sales period of its introductory promotional offer to and from New York for another week. Travellers will now have until 2 March to take advantage of the special deal, with return fares from Belgrade to New York starting from as low as EUR 399 in Economy Class and EUR 2,499 in Business Class, including taxes and charges. The introductory promotional fares are valid for travel between 23 to 30 June and after 16 August 2016.

Dane Kondić, Chief Executive Officer Air Serbia, said: "As we celebrate the upcoming launch of non-stop flights to New York, we’re pleased to offer our loyal frequent flyers the opportunity to earn extra miles. The Air Serbia Etihad Guest program is internationally-acclaimed for the advantages it brings to air travellers and this is a great time for our guests who have not yet registered to sign-up and become a member.

“We are also thrilled to see the positive reaction and strong demand from the travelling public to our introductory fares for New York. As a result, we have decided to extend this promotion for our guests who would like to be among the first travellers to experience our new US service and did not have a chance to book seats last week.”

Air Serbia announced the start of ticket sales and the flight schedule for its five-a-week non-stop service to JFK, which will be operated by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft and is scheduled to take off on 23 June, during last week’s International Tourism Fair in Belgrade.
