Bid for an Upgrade to Business Class

Not all flights are automatically eligible for an upgrade. Upgrade is only available on flights marketed and operated by Air Serbia, and issued on Air Serbia ticket stock featuring a ticket number beginning with "115." Air Serbia marketed flights, operated by Partner Airlines, are not eligible for an upgrade.

 

Passengers who are eligible to submit an offer for an upgrade, must not have one of the following:

 

  • Tickets for which special assistance has been requested
  • Tickets with group bookings
  • Reservations with an Infant passenger
  • Reservations for Unaccompanied Minors
  • Tickets with pets in the cabin
  • Etihad Guest award tickets
  • Staff tickets (duty or leisure)
  • Tickets with codeshare flights

The seats available for this promotion are limited and may vary depending on destination.

There are several different factors that may restrict your eligibility to make an offer for an upgrade, these include:

 

  • No seat availability on your flight
  • You do not have a ticket yet
  • Your reservation is not confirmed yet
  • Your flight is not operated by Air Serbia
  • The flight you are travelling on is not currently accepting offers

Air Serbia passengers who may receive an email inviting them to participate in an offer for an upgrade bid are those who have:

 

  • Booked the flight at least 7 days before departure
  • Provided an email address at the time of booking

Flight sectors are considered independent of one another. If you wish to upgrade a journey with multiple sectors, you must make an offer for an upgrade for each sector individually with a separate, single offer.


For example: If you are travelling from Tel Aviv to New York via Belgrade, you can make an offer for an upgrade on the Tel Aviv to Belgrade sector, and another offer for an upgrade on the Belgrade to New York sector.

 

If you do not want to upgrade a sector, simply move the offer slider to the far left to indicate "No Offer" for that sector.

Yes. Please note any guest over 2 years of age who is not yet 12 years of age is classified as a child and must occupy a seat with their own ticket.

If you are traveling with a child of 2 to 11 years of age (with two separate bookings) and only one of you has had an upgrade confirmed, the accepted offer will be refunded because you cannot travel in different classes (one in Business and the other in Economy).

If you want to change or cancel a flight after Air Serbia has accepted the offer, you will not be refunded for the amount relating to your offer. Upgrades cannot be transferred. Air Serbia does not have an obligation to provide the accepted offer for an upgrade on the new, changed flight. In addition, the Conditions of Carriage for the original ticket also apply.

After you have canceled your initial offer for an upgrade, you can submit a new offer via the Air Serbia website. Alternatively, you can use the links in the original email sent to you inviting you to make an upgrade offer.

For RSD payments you will be charged an amount of 1 RSD for the purpose of validating your credit card. This amount will be returned to your credit card after your offer for an upgrade is accepted or rejected.


When you make an offer in RSD, with a credit card issued by a foreign Bank, the RSD transaction amount will be converted into the settlement currency of the Unicredit Bank (EUR) using rate of exchange published by the National Bank of Serbia. This amount, in EUR, will then be converted into the local currency of your credit card using the rate of exchange of the credit card operator, and that amount will be charged to your credit card.


Air Serbia does not charge any booking fees or card fees for making an offer, however your bank may charge you if the currency of your offer is not the same currency as your bank account. You will only be charged by Air Serbia if your offer for an upgrade is successful.

Accepted payment types include Visa and Master credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards.

No. The system has a predefined minimum and maximum amount for the offer. You cannot make an offer below the minimum amount or above the maximum amount.

The intensity indicator is a guide that shows the strength of your offer, but it does not guarantee success.

Some Airports charge higher taxes for Business class passangers. If applicable, that amount will be added to your final bidding price and you will be able to see the sum total before sending your offer.

Etihad Guest Miles are not an accepted form of payment for an offer for an upgrade. However, you can use Etihad Guest Miles to upgrade to Business class by contacting Air Serbia Contact Center, as a separate Etihad Guest program member benefit.

The same conditions apply as for the ticket originally purchased, including costs for changes or cancellations. Original baggage allowance remains the same; excess baggage fees apply.

You must first cancel your current offer. After this you can make a new offer using your preferred card. If there is a problem with the credit card used for the selected offer for an upgrade, you will receive notification by email with a link where you can enter your new card details.

If a flight is canceled by Air Serbia, we will try to accommodate you in the higher travel class on the next flight; otherwise, the refund for the entire amount of the upgrade will be credited to the card used for the purchase.

In the event of voluntary cancellation or changes to the ticket, you will not be refunded any amount for the upgrade purchased.
