Cheap flights from Warsaw to Prague

November is when fares on this route tend to be at their lowest, so if your dates are flexible, that is the month to watch. Spring and early autumn are the pleasant middle ground, with mild weather and fewer crowds than the summer peak. Summer school holidays and the run-up to Christmas push prices up at both ends, and the days around public holidays in Poland and the Czech Republic fill planes quickly. Weekday departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, are usually quieter and cheaper than Friday evenings or Sunday returns. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and autumn travel, and earlier still if you are flying over the holidays.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost options here, and Norwegian flies a similar model where extras are paid for separately. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Air France, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Aegean Airlines and Cityjet are full-service carriers, so a checked bag and food usually come with the ticket rather than being added at checkout. No airline flies this route non-stop, so every itinerary means at least one connection, and your choice of airline decides where you change. Low-cost fares typically cover a small cabin bag only, and separate tickets mean collecting your luggage and checking in again. A single ticket protects you if a connection is missed.

Flights land at Ruzyne, Prague's airport, a fair way outside the city centre. The ride in takes a while by road and longer during the morning and evening rush, so build in time if you have plans on arrival day. An express bus links the airport with the main railway station, and city buses connect to the metro, where you change for the centre. Taxis and ride-hailing apps wait at the terminal, but check the app price or agree the fare before you set off, since unofficial drivers still work the arrivals hall. Arriving late is worth planning around, as the airport is not within walking distance of town.
