Etihad Guest has some of the most interesting airline partners in the travel world. Many of these are based in Europe and provide service to the U.S. on limited routes.
The two most interesting are Air Serbia and Brussels Airlines.
Air Serbia from NYC to Belgrade
Let’s start with Air Serbia. The Serbian airline offers nonstop service from its Belgrade (BEG) hub to New York-JFK. This is the airline’s only long-haul route and is operated by an Airbus A330.
This plane is outfitted with a proper business-class cabin, though it uses old Virgin Atlantic seats. Regardless, it’s the only way to fly nonstop from the U.S. to Belgrade, saving you a ton of time over connecting in London Heathrow (LHR), Frankfurt (FRA) or another major European hub.
