The Air Serbia A319 which is used on the route ZRH-BEG has some quite nice business class seats. Not just regular economy seats with a blocked middle seat like basically every other airline operating in Europe. There are only 4 of those business class seats on the A319 which explains why only 4 tickets were sold for each route...

Are you sure?

There is no C on those ATR from Prague, but I think I can survive that.

Got one-way out of Moscow, OTA sent e-ticket, but it's not showing on airserbia.com (while PNR looks fine). No seat assignment and other options available. Anyone having similar issues?

I went to Alitalia website and there's following information: " The "Economy White" Air Serbia fares and the flights operated by Air Serbia to / from New York do not entitle to the accumulation of miles."
https://www.alitalia.com/en_gb/mille...ir-serbia.html If that's the case, it's quite useless fare in terms of miles earning.

I dont understand what you mean. This is not " The "Economy White" but W - Business Silver is what I understand from link you provided. Can you elaborate?

It says "The "Economy White" Air Serbia fares and the flights operated by Air Serbia to / from New York do not entitle to the accumulation of miles.".
I guess the Air Serbia flight to NY is always excluded from earning miles with AZ, no matter what booking class.

My bad, you are right, I read it as ON. Now it make sense :) I wonder if it would make difference if the plane is actually operated by Etihad on my days, but my guess is answer is NO.

I guess, the only way to earn any miles on it, is to credit to Etihad. Will have to create the account and work out what's the best usage.

I'm pretty sure EY is better than AZ. You can redeem 25k EY miles for PRG-ICN in OK (Czech) business class (old Korean Air planes).
Or you could buy/transfer some more miles and fly their A380 First Class Apartment.

Got exactly the same cancelation email too.
Its OK I guess some times you win and sometimes you loose, but they could just be honest and say it was a fare error.

Mine was direct through Air Serbia. I thought this would be a safer bet than though an OTA, maybe not in this case. I am pretty sure the OTA bookings will be canceled too, it will take a bit of time til we hear from that since another party will need to be involved.

Of course it would be great news if I am proven wrong, at least some people could use the deal then...
