Search and find cheap flights to Serbia

How long does it take to fly to Serbia?

Flights to Serbia from the US can vary greatly in travel time. Obvious reasons for this are whether you can find non-stop flights, if you’re on a budget and looking for cheap flights, how many layovers are scheduled on your flight, and how long the layovers are in each airport. One major departure airport is New York John F Kennedy International in New York City. From New York to Belgrade, the flight can take anywhere from nine to 12h in duration. Flights to Serbia from Los Angeles can take anywhere from 15 to 24h if your destination is Belgrade. If you’re flying out of Dallas and landing in Belgrade, the flight can last anywhere from 16 to almost 30h in length. The most popular Serbia flights from the US arrive at Nikola Tesla airport, the closest airport to the capital city of Belgrade. If your destination city is not Belgrade, for example, the second-largest city in Serbia, Novi Sad, you can fly into Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla International Airport and either get a domestic flight onto Novi Sad or travel by land as the distance between the airport and Novi Sad is easily drivable.

Can you get nonstop flights to Serbia from the US?

Yes, there are direct Serbia flight options from the US, and although there are plenty to choose from, you can only choose from one US location: New York City. From New York, most nonstop flights depart from John F Kennedy International, and there are quite a few flights daily, but make sure you check the arriving airport on the flight back to the US as some flights return to Newark Airport. From other major airports in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Boston, the flight options normally have one to two stopovers scheduled. From Los Angeles, your flight may take-off for Serbia, but you will most likely stopover in European cities like Zurich, Istanbul, Frankfurt, or Paris. From Dallas, you can expect to find flights with the most stopovers in Istanbul, but other scheduled flights have Chicago, Toronto, or Houston on the flight itinerary. If you fly out of Boston, stopover cities include Istanbul, Munich, Paris, or Amsterdam.

What is the best way to travel around Serbia?

There are a few ways to get around Serbia; which is best for you depends on your budget, time frame, and what you’re most comfortable with. If you’re staying in Belgrade or other major Serbian cities, metered taxis are a great way to get around. So if you are visiting Kalemegdan Fortress in the afternoon and want to go to the Skadarlija for dinner, the best way to get there would be to hop into a metered taxi. If you love to cycle, Serbia is a great country to rent a bike and explore. The Danube Bike Trail offers designated bike path throughout the country. Since driving in Serbia is on the right-hand side of the road, you can easily rent a vehicle and explore the country in a car. Lastly, if you’d rather not bike or drive, the best mode of public transport is by coach bus. For example, if you wanted to travel from Belgrade to Novi Sad, the coach bus is pretty inexpensive and the travel time is less than 2h. There is a rather extensive network of buses throughout the country, and if you want to travel to small villages, besides driving yourself, buses are a great way to gain access to smaller towns in Serbia. Flying domestically is also an option, so if you’re trying to get from Belgrade to Nis, you can book a domestic flight, but they are not as frequent or as budget-friendly as transport by bus.
