Airport(s) to consider for tour starting in Prague

We flew into Prague from Frankfurt. Choose the shortest flight time, easiest connection(s) and best price as factors from your home airport in making your decision.

You can connect to Prague through most major European airports, Amsterdam, Paris, etc. As for flying out of another city, where does your tour end?

Flying into and out of Prague Airport (PRG) is pretty straight forward. Is there some special reason why you would want an alternative?

Thanks for the responses!! We are trying to explore all options. Since posting, I’ve researched & seems flying into Prague would be as easy, simple as other big airports. We end tour Lake Bled & need recommendations for where to head for a day or 2 before heading home. Thanks again.

Start in Prague, it's easiest. Also, add one day on the front end - so much to do there. If you're ending in Lake Bled, are you doing the RS tour of Eastern Europe? If so, this is what I did at the end of that tour - I took a train from Lesce Bled (the name of the train station nearest Bled) to Salzburg. I spent a night there and then took the train from Salzburg to Munich for another night and flew home from Munich. This route is what worked best with my airline (used frequent flier miles).

Just home recently from this wonderful tour. The day after the tour ended in Bled, my sister and I shared a ride to Ljubljana (about a 45 minute ride) with other tour members who were also staying in Ljubljana for a few days after the tour. I originally fell in love with Ljubljana when on the RS tour of the Adriatic and this was a perfect opportunity to spend more time there. The flight home to Denver was easy from the very manageable Ljubljana airport. We connected through Munich both for the flight to Prague (arriving a couple of days early) and the return flight home from Ljubljana.

Fly to Prague. It's the easiest. There are two direct flights to Prague from the US. One is from New York JFK and the other from Atlanta. Both by Delta. From everywhere else in the US you have to change planes. I don't know which airport in the US you will be flying from but in my case it's from Seattle and I have choices: London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam. The best choice to change planes is Amsterdam (in my case). You have to look at your choices.

My preference would be to take a flight direct to Europe out of either Houston or Dallas-Ft Worth and do the transfer there.
I see that American has flights direct to Prague from Philadelphia and there are connecting flights to Philly from Austin.

Another place to fly home from is Venice. There are bus connections from Ljubljana. Rail is a bit tenuous as at one point you have to change stations at the Italian border by bus cross town from Nova Gorica to Gorizia. But a couple of days in Venice is a nice topper. American also has connections back to Austin from Venice, either through Philadelphia or Chicago.

You have very wide range of choices, e.g. just directly from Prague to Bratislava, Warsaw, Radom, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Aarhus, London, Bristol, Dublin, Lisbon, Zürich, Rome, Skopje or Budapest. It is up to your interests.

Last month I flew from HK to Frankfurt and transited to Prague. It only took me about one hour.
