Im sure your parents will love Prague, it is a lovely city to explore. 👍

I agree with BrumX. Went there with Mrs Yokel a few years ago one March. Weather was unseasonably mild which added to the enjoyment of looking around a beautiful and interesting city. A trip on the River Vltava is one of many potential highlights.

It's easy to get around Prague, particularly on the Metro and on the trams, and we speak no Czech.

Czech Airlines to go daily for S17 🙂

That's good one - not the most eye-catching of routes but one of the bread and butter ones that needs to be nurtured. Hopefully they will be able to withstand the introduction of Jet2 in November. Are there any automotive links between Prague and the West Midlands?

Good to see this one doing well - with LPL now dropped BHX is CSA's only UK route so quite prestige for us!

 

[ethanegcc]

Great news! CSA could also chip in on connections with KE/CSA to ICN, as well as the o&d traffic on BHX-PRG.

...doesn't csa fly to edi too??

Didn't realise LPL had been dropped!!!

 

[Ray Finkle]

EDI is no longer on the Czech website so I am assuming it's been dropped. In fairness their route went via somewhere on Poland so less than ideal I guess.

Liverpool still appears, Wiki has it as seasonal so maybe it's just gone for winter.

It'll be good to see Birmingham go daily, Eastern Europe seems to be doing very well at the moment so hopefully they'll be able to coexist with Jet2.

I thought I'd read LPL had been dropped after Ryanair launched the route for next summer? Happy to be corrected.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Just checked and there is nothing bookable for next year from LPL so it looks as if it has gone.

Nothing substantive, would suggest this route is much more leisure orientated.

Well I booked my Ma and Pa onto CSA for a lovely little pre-xmas city break to enjoy the xmas markets from 1st-5th December. Will get them to give some feedback along with how full the flight is.

Pretty reasonable prices at the time I booked but as suggested, with BHX now the only U.K. Route for CSA and expanding, something appears to be working!!!

 

[Ray Finkle]

The extra flights are starting to be added, although it seems to be taking rather a long time with a few weeks seemingly added each day.

There are a few odd days still to be done but it looks daily from the end of March until the end of October, which is as far as is bookable at the moment.

 

[Daza]

PRG will go 6x weekly from 11th April 2017 (Tue flight added) and then daily from 1st July 2017 (Sat flight added).
All on sale. Good to see the route and a recently returning airline expanding.

Winter is now bookable up until Jan at 4x weekly, Thu, Fri, Sun and Mon. There are lots of extra flights added over the Christmas and New Year period.

So with Jet2 on the route Prague will be 6x weekly 🙂

Hi Ray. Are Czech still going daily during the summer months ?

They go 6x weekly from April then daily from July.

I think it goes back to 6x weekly at some point during October, then 4x weekly (except Xmas and NY) until Jan, which is as far as it goes.

Excellent news clearly a success for both BHX and Czech airlines

 

[nwoody2001]

Well having just returned from a stag weekend in Prague (flew U2 MAN-PRG and EZ PRG-MAN), I can vouch that it's a great city and proved very popular, both flights were completely full!

I did suggest CSA from BHX, but timings and cost couldn't convince the gang! However, with both CSA and U2 on the route next year, a lot more choice is available!

Great city break!

Interesting, I just did a Skyscanner search to see what impact Jet2 will have on CSA.

Looking at a pre-Xmas city break (great for Xmas market shopping)!

Fri 15th - Mon 18th Dec
CSA (BHX-PRG) = £128 Rtn
Jet2 (BHX-PRG) = £213 Rtn
Jet2 (MAN-PRG) = £214 Rtn

CSA offering some cracking offers so close to Xmas!
