Zhd in Montenegro. How to get to Montenegro

America

With a transfer in Belgrade, you can get to Podgorica and Tivat by flights of the Serbian airline Jat Airways. You can also fly to Podgorica from Moscow with Adria Airways, Austrian Airlines, Air Serbia (airserbia.com), but this route will be extremely expensive. During the summer season there are regular charter flights from Russia to Tivat and Podgorica. Charter and summer flights are also operated from a number of countries adjacent to Russia.

In general, Montenegro, although it is considered a popular and affordable holiday destination in terms of price and transport logistics, nevertheless, if you fly there on your own, then ticket prices can be unpleasantly surprising. Especially if the flight is not from Moscow. Excluding the summer season (when there are many charters to Tivat), only Podgorica Airport is fully functioning in the country, where only a few airlines fly all year round. In winter, Montenegrins themselves experience great difficulties when traveling abroad, as they have to choose between expensive Turkish Airlines when flying to Asia, or not at all budget Alitalia and Austrian airlines. The national carrier, Montenegro airlines, not only flies to a few destinations, but also their fares are rarely affordable for the average Montenegrin. The appearance on the market of the Serbian airline Air Serbia will to some extent create competition in the Montenegrin direction.
