No Frills to Prague

Does anybody know why most of the big No Frills airlines have stopped flying to Prague? Has the airport raked up it's charges or something?

    Don't know the answer to your question, but if you want to go on the cheap.....................and can bear the coach, try: KCE, Kingscourt Express.
    15 Balham Rd, London, SW1 9AJ. Tele: 020 8673 7500. They go London to Prague. I am using them this week to Varna, Bulgaria (2 day trip!), for £79.90 return. I'm using them because you can take extra and odd shaped luggage, I have a place there, so this is very useful.
    I love coach travel, but this is going to test my patience I'm sure!

    EasyJet fly to Prague from Gatwick, Stansted, Bristol, East Midlands and Newcastle. BMIBaby fly to Prague from Durham, Manchester, East Midlands, Birmingham and Cardiff. You can sometimes get really cheap flights with Czech Airlines from some UK airports. Which of the "big no-frills airlines" have stopped flying to Prague?

    Ryanair and Flybe no longer go there. I'm most annoyed at Flybe cos I live walking distance from Southampton Airport.

    I don't recall Ryanair ever flying to Prague, and presumably FlyBe dropped the route as they couldn't compete with Easyjet and BMIBaby.

    Don't forget BA and CSA. They can sometimes come up with deals that beat the low cost airlines.

    Hi,

    Dont forget the new service from Manston airport in Kent. May be worth the extra distance for a cheapo flight...

    Or Try Southampton to Prague with Air France Via Paris

    Best regards
