I just used 5,000 ThankYou Points to book a one way award flight from Belgrade to Bucharest.

I transferred my ThankYou Points to Etihad Guest Miles, which is the frequent flyer program for Air Serbia and several other airlines.

I have a ton of ThankYou Points because the Citi Prestige® Card offers 40,000 bonus ThankYou Points respectively after $4,000 in purchases on the card in the first three months.

Air Serbia is not a member of one of the three alliances, but is a member of the "kind of fourth alliance" of airlines in which Etihad has bought a stake. The only way to book Air Serbia flights with miles is with Etihad Guest miles.

Booking Air Serbia Flights with Etihad Guest Miles

Air Serbia award flights start at 4,550 Etihad Guest miles plus government taxes with no fuel surcharges. Etihad Guest miles are a 1:1 transfer partner of Citi ThankYou Points and Starwood Preferred Guest Starpoints.

Why Air Serbia?
I plan to spend a month or so in Belgrade, Serbia this summer, so I was looking at flight options for people to visit me or to get me from Serbia to Romania.
