American dream - New York

Image
Hello, everybody, Now that I have finished with my Italy trip, let's look at what happened last year. Well, last year I went to USA for the first time and it was quite an experience, that is for sure. I flew from Bucharest to New York, landing on JFK after a 12 hours flight. Unfortunately, there is no direct flight from Bucharest and we chose Air Serbia, meaning that we first stopped in Belgrade and from there straight to NY. I haven't flown with them before, but it was quite a good flight. I would fly with them again for sure.
