We had some time prior to the early afternoon flight to Tirana; so while awaiting the boarding of the Avions de Transport Régional ATR 72-500 airplane that was operated by Air Serbia for the departure, we stopped off in the Air Serbia Premium Lounge at Belgrade Airport.
Air Serbia Premium Lounge at Belgrade Airport. Airport Lounge Review.
A decent selection of both hot and cold items were offered in the lounge — enough to pass as a meal if necessary. The international buffet included authentic Serbian dishes — as well as Rakia; pastries and cakes; coffee; and a selection of domestic and international wines, beers, spirits, and soft drinks.
Assorted fresh fruit, sliced cake, sliced bread, rolls, and condiments were among the items that were available — as well as penne pasta, olives, pickles, and other salad items.
I thought that the food was slightly better than good. I was satisfied with the selection, which would be enough to tide me over for the one hour and 15 minutes for the flight to Tirana.
The lounge itself was relaxing, quiet, and reasonably comfortable. Complimentary Wi-Fi access to the Internet worked well.
One can browse the wide selection of Serbian publications and international magazines — as well as check on the status of departing flights.
Electrical outlets and Universal Serial Bus Type A ports were available — although they seemed to have seen better days.
Prayer rooms for people of multiple faiths were available in the lounge.
The washrooms were clean and modern…
…and they were nicely decorated.
Showers were available in the washrooms with bulk dispensers of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.
Since its opening in 2015, more than 440,000 passengers have enjoyed the comfort, elegance, and top-level service the lounge provides.
Final Boarding Call
Our experience was a pleasant respite, as the lounge was quiet; Wi-Fi was available; and it was a nice respite from the main part of the terminal at the airport. The food was good and enough to adequately satiate hunger prior to a flight.
The Air Serbia Premium Lounge at Belgrade Airport is located in the transit zone between Gate A4 and Gate A5.
The Air Serbia Premium Lounge is open from 5:00 in the morning until 1:00 in the morning every day. All passengers must be traveling and hold a valid boarding pass in order to access this lounge. Smoking is not allowed in the lounge.
