Location: Bosnia and Herzegovina
Event: Commercial Flight out of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The U.S. Embassy has arranged for U.S. citizens to purchase seats on a commercial flight leaving from Sarajevo International Airport to U.S. destinations via to London Heathrow Airport. The departure date and time is tentatively planned for this Wednesday, April 8, 2020.
Globtour, the same agency that handles all U.S. government travel from Sarajevo, is coordinating this flight. If you are interested in purchasing a ticket you must contact their team directly to book these flights:
- by email: Embassy.Travel@globtour.ba
- by phone: +387-62-749-408 or +387-62-330-826
- These numbers are also reachable through Viber or WhatsApp
These are not U.S. government operated or funded flights. You will be responsible for all costs (air fare, lodging, local transportation) associated with this trip. It is anticipated that you will need to remain overnight at Heathrow airport pending onward travel from London to the United States. You will be required to have a verifiable proof of your onward flight to the United States prior to boarding as this is required to transit the United Kingdom.
While additional flights may be available at a later date, at this time this flight is the only known flight leaving from Bosnia and Herzegovina. If you need to leave Bosnia and Herzegovina, consider booking this flight now.
· Destitute U.S. citizens who wish to take advantage of this flight but lack means to do so should email SarajevoACS@state.gov.
· Once you have booked a flight with GlobTour, please inform the U.S. Embassy at SarajevoACS@state.gov. This is very important and will help us facilitate your arrival to the airport during this time of restricted travel.
