I hope that someone else comes up with better results than I did.
Flix bus is an 11 or 12 hour trip for around $66
LOT airlines a little less than 4 hour flight for $152.
You will be tired at the end of your tour. If you can possibly swing a flight, I would go for it.

You're right about Prague being difficult to get to from Ljubljana.
Option might be to take a bus (2 hr. 45 min.) to Treviso Airport and catch a flight on Ryanair to Prague.

There are no great options.
You could take a shuttle like GoOpti to Venice (about 3 hours from Ljubljana) and fly from Venice to Prague. Wizz Air has direct flights a few days a week from VCE; RyanAir has direct flights a few days a week from Treviso, but I'm not sure I would rely on either budget airline. Maybe you could book one of those flights (they are cheap booked in advance) now and have a backup plan in case the flight is changed or canceled or something. GoOpti can be booked fairly soon before departure (you can pick a window of time for pick-up) but is cheaper the further in advance you book it.
You could take a direct train to Munich (about 6.5 hours) and fly from there to Prague. Or spend the night in Munich and take a direct train the next day on to Prague. Best if you love train rides.
