TRIP REPORT: Montenegro Airlines, Tivat - Moscow

TRIP REPORT | INDEX

Until recently, I didn’t know much about this airline, but I booked a mountain tour holiday with an agency to Montenegro which put us onto a Montenegro Airlines flight. We flew from Moscow to Tivat and back.

My short trip report focuses on the Tivat - Moscow leg. The flights in both directions were on time. Tivat Airport is small but enjoyed the fact that we got to walk to the plane and that no busses were needed. We travelled in the off-season - May, so the plane, although small, was half empty. The seats were comfortable and featured a thick in-flight magazine which was in English and Montenegrin.

I can’t comment enough about the beautiful view on departure with the Bay of Kotor in the palm of our hands, but that doesn’t have much to do with the airline itself.

After departure, service began. Unlike most airlines, here you got offered not one but several drinks. For example, I chose an apple juice and coffee. I’m already used to standard sandwiches on planes, so I was pleasantly surprised by being offered at least some food, free of charge. It is true that the pasta turned out to be cold (but hot coffee saved the situation). There were also slices of ham stuffed with pepper and olives, one savoury bun and a sweet muffin. There was no choice of other food items. It was all good.
