Air Montenegro flights to France – three new routes to Paris, Lyon and Nantes in 2022

Written by Traveltalksteam on March 22, 2022. Posted in Airline, Destination news.

March 22, 2022 – Air Montenegro flights to France

Air Montenegro is expanding its operations this coming summer season with the launch of three new routes, all of which are on the French market.

Air Montenegro flights to France

The carrier will introduce three weekly rotations from Podgorica to Paris and one weekly service to both Lyon and Nantes. Flights to the French capital and Lyon will commence on April 9, while operations to Nantes will be inaugurated on May 7. As recently reported, the carrier also plans to increase frequencies across its network. Air Montenegro will up operations from both Podgorica and Tivat to Belgrade in order to offer several daily flights, while an additional weekly rotation will be introduced from Tivat to both Ljubljana and Banja Luka, with four and three weekly services to be maintained respectively. Furthermore, the airline will run daily flights between Tivat and Istanbul.

Destination	Launch date
Paris	APR 09
Lyon	APR 09
Nantes	MAY 07

Air Montenegro faces no direct competition on any of its new routes. Paris and Lyon were both previously served by the former national carrier Montenegro Airlines.

Air Montenegro flights to France – the airline initially planned to introduce Lyon to its network for a limited time between September and October of last year, however, it suspended ticket sales several weeks before the route’s launch. This summer will also see Air Serbia introduce operations to Lyon. The carrier has said the new route will offer “seamless connections to cities such as Podgorica and Tivat”.

The Montenegrin carrier plans to grow its fleet this summer by up to two aircraft. The Montenegrin government has confirmed plans it will acquire an Embraer E195 aircraft for the state carrier. The jet, registered 40-AOC, is owned by the Brazilian BNDS bank and was previously operated by Montenegro Airlines.

The aircraft has been grounded since December 26, 2020. Initially, Air Montenegro was to acquire the jet itself, however, informed the state last December it did not have sufficient finances to do so. Air Montenegro also plans to dry lease a larger jet, from either the Airbus A320-family or the Boeing 737 family this April, at the earliest, for a period of between three and eight years. The carrier currently boasts a fleet of two E195s.

Train and Fly Iberia – super combination to travel to 14 destinations in Spain

Written by Traveltalksteam on March 10, 2022. Posted in Destination news, Airline.

March 10, 2022 – Train and Fly Iberia – combines flights with 14 destinations in Spain

One ticket will include both air and rail journeys and include commuter trains between Madrid-Barajas airport and Madrid Renfe railroad stations Chamartin or Atocha
Train destinations served via this service are Saragossa, Seville, Malaga, Cordoba, Valladolid, Valencia, Alicante, Leon, Palencia, Pamplona, Salamanca, Albacete, Zamora, and Orense
In this first year, more than 100,000 customers may take advantage of this sustainable mobility option and choose the most efficient route with highly competitive fares

Train and Fly Iberia

Iberia and Spain’s national railway Renfe are extending their intermodal Train & Fly to reach 14 Spanish cities.

The two companies have developed the scheme over the past six years and now are adding technical improvements as well as nine new destinations -Valencia, Alicante, Leon, Palencia, Pamplona, Salamanca, Albacete, Zamora, and Orense – to the original five – Saragossa, Seville, Malaga, Cordoba, and Valladolid. All 14 can be conveniently reached from all 90 Iberia international destinations.

Train and Fly Iberia: Intermodal Ticket

Train&Fly tickets resemble those with multiple flights and include the train journey, the local commuter train to or from Madrid-Barajas airport, and the international flight.

These combined tickets including plane and train furnish numerous travel planning options to customers, and the tickets are cheaper than buying the individual train and plane tickets separately. The scheme included the guarantee of alternative transportation in the event of a failed connection.

Renfe Customer Service Manager, Sonia Araujo, commented: “This agreement is an important step forward in our inter-modality strategy. We see Iberia as a major strategic partner, and its international air travelers can avail themselves of a fast, zero-emissions means of transport such as our HSTs. Tourists who fly to Spain with Iberia and continue their journeys in our HSTs or Long Distance trains will find it a convenient, comfortable, and rewarding experience”.

Iberia Sales Manager, María Jesús López, said the deal represents “a major step towards inter-modality in Spain because it broadens the options available to our international passengers to reach provincial Spanish cities efficiently on a combined ticket. The additional cities included in the Train&Fly scheme will also make Renfe a perfect ally in helping us feed our long-haul routes, and simultaneously increasing international tourism to numerous Spanish cities, given the millions of tourists who come to Span by air each year”.

It is expected that more than 100,000 customers will use this combined Iberia-Renfe service this year, thanks to its efficiency, convenience, and competitive fares. Train&Fly will be improved even further when Spain’s HST network reaches Madrid-Barajas Airport in the near future, and as new value-added services are incorporated by both companies.

14 Train and Fly Iberia destinations

Train&Fly is available on the iberia.com and renfe.com websites and at travel agencies for those wishing to combine international Iberia flights via Madrid with Renfe destinations: Saragossa, Seville, Malaga, Cordoba, Valladolid, Valencia, Alicante, Leon, Palencia, Pamplona, Salamanca, Albacete, Zamora. and Orense.

Combined Tickets Include Commuter Trains to/from Airport

The Train&Fly service is available for both single and returns travel. One ticket takes the traveler all the way from the city of origin to the final destination, since the price includes local commuter train service between Renfe’s Atocha and Charmartin stations in Madrid and the airport.

Direct flight New Zealand to NY – Air New Zealand will launch flight in 2002

Written by Leandro Agostini on March 4, 2022. Posted in Airline, Destination news.

March 4, 2022 – Air New Zealand is launching a non-stop service between Auckland and New York City this year, making it one of the world’s longest flights.

Direct flight New Zealand to NY – Air New Zealand will launch flight in 2002

The flight is scheduled to take roughly 18 hours, falling only 60 minutes short of Singapore Airlines’ current non-stop record for the longest flight between Singapore and New York.

Originally scheduled for October 29, 2020, the Auckland-New York flight was postponed due to the worldwide spread of Covid-19, but the bum-numbing route is now back on the map after a lengthy delay.

“The end of this calendar year, we will be ramping up more passenger flights to North America and looking forwards to starting up our direct service to New York City,” CEO Greg Foran said during the release of Air New Zealand’s half-yearly financial results.

It is expected that Qantas, give the formal go-ahead for its own ambitious Project Sunrise flights linking Sydney and Melbourne with New York, London, and Paris soon after Air New Zealand believes the non-stop flight will hold increased appeal to passengers looking to skip stopovers in the post-pandemic area.

For this 14,200-kilometer trip, the Boeing 787-9 will proudly carry the flight numbers NZ1/NZ2 and have a “premium-heavy” seat distribution that tilts the balance towards business and premium economy to generate more income with fewer people on board, respectively.

Planned flights to Newark Liberty International Airport, which serves as a hub for Star Alliance partner United Airlines, were originally scheduled to depart from Auckland three times per week in October 2020.

Air New Zealand’s all-new business class seating has been in development for several years, with carefully selected groups of Air New Zealand passengers – including many who regularly fly the airline’s longest routes – helping to trial the seats in a secure workshop dubbed ‘Hangar 22’ located near the airline’s Auckland headquarters.

Only one passenger — an Airpoints Elite member who goes to the US every month – talked highly of the seat, even though all participants were had to sign non-disclosure agreements.

Customers who booked front-row seats in Business Premier in late 2020 will have the opportunity to improve their experience, according to a poll put out by the Star Alliance member.

There would be extra legroom, shared dining and privacy in the new suites, which Air New Zealand has also suggested may be branded as the Business Premier Alcove or Retreat.
