Eastern Airlines to launch Chicago - Sarajevo service
US carrier Eastern Airlines will launch a one weekly seasonal summer service between Chicago O'Hare and Sarajevo, marking the introduction of nonstop transatlantic flights from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s capital. The airline will operate the route each Friday from Chicago starting May 28 until September 3, while the return service will run on Sundays. All flights will be performed by the Boeing 767-200ER aircraft which has the capacity to seat 238 passengers, of which eighteen are in the premium cabin and the remaining 220 in economy. The premium cabin boasts a 2-2-2 seat layout, while the economy section features a 2-3-2 seat configuration.
Tickets for the flights have already been put on sale through the airline's website. Chicago was the second busiest unserved route from Sarajevo in the United States after New York. In 2019, a total of 5.995 passengers flew indirectly between the two cities. Overall, it was the sixteenth busiest unserved route from Bosnia and Herzegovina's capital. It jumped to eleventh position in 2020, although passenger volumes were significantly down due to the coronavirus pandemic. Citizens from Bosnia and Herzegovina are permitted to enter the United States with a valid visa and a negative coronavirus test, while US citizens may also enter Bosnia and Herzegovina with a negative PCR test.
Eastern Airlines offers passengers three different fare types, all of which include one checked-in bag, while its premium cabin passengers may bring with them a second bag free of charge. Its aircraft feature an on board entertainment system with a selection of movies, shows and music which can be streamed onto the passengers personal device.
