Does anyone know how FlyBosnia are *actually* doing on their new Luton-Sarajevo route ? Some sort of idea of how many revenue-paying pax there are on average would be interesting to know

It's been running now for almost 2 weeks. As mentioned by LGS6753, the seat map on the airline website indicates a disappointing story but I'm wondering whether that just reflects how many people have chosen to pay prior to check-in for a specific seat or whether it really is a proxy for load factor. The FlyBosnia website doesn't seem to have an online checkin facility, which makes me think reserved seats on the website seatmap for new bookings is unlikely to be a good indicator of load factor

I know that Wizz dropped their Tuzla route in autumn 2017 - when I flew on it load factor was good but average fare was very low. I know that Sarajevo airport charges high fees (hence why Wizz use Tuzla) but am wondering whether the 3h30 bus ride might push Saraejvan residents into using Sarajevo airport
