Business Class Flights to Prague

Nonstop service changes year to year. In recent summers Delta has flown New York–Prague, United Newark–Prague and American Philadelphia–Prague, all with lie-flat business cabins and all roughly May–October. Outside those months there is no nonstop, and the one-stop options are excellent: Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich (Prague is under an hour from either), Austrian via Vienna (45 minutes), SWISS via Zurich, KLM and Delta via Amsterdam, Air France via Paris and British Airways via London. Because the transatlantic leg on those itineraries is a hub route with heavy competition, the total fare is frequently below the summer nonstop price. No flight to Prague carries a First Class cabin, but Lufthansa First to Frankfurt or Munich plus the short hop is a genuine option.

The airport is 30–40 minutes from the Old Town by car, and Prague sits at the center of a very easy rail loop: Vienna is four hours, Berlin four, Budapest seven, and Dresden two. Many clients fly into Prague and out of Vienna, Budapest or Berlin on an open-jaw, or the reverse — pricing is usually the same as a round trip. Český Krumlov and the Bohemian spa towns of Karlovy Vary are two to three hours by car.

Prague's calendar has two peaks: summer (June–August), when the Charles Bridge is shoulder to shoulder, and Advent, when the Old Town Square Christmas market runs from late November through early January. Easter also fills the city. April–May and September–October are ideal — mild, less crowded and with fares closest to our $2,300 New York starting price. January through March is cold, beautiful and the cheapest time of year, when a one-stop lie-flat fare can come in well below the summer nonstops.
