Flight to the Czech Republic from Ukraine
Almost every major Ukrainian city has an international airport, with which you can travel to many parts of the world. However, tourists wishing to visit the Czech Republic will be able to fly from only a few airports.
Getting to each of them will not be difficult using public transport:
- Kyiv has two international airports at once - in Zhulyany and Boryspil. You can get to the Boryspil airport by metro to the Boryspilskaya station, and then by passing trains or by bus. The following minibuses depart to the terminal or stop within walking distance to it: No. 220, 415, 178, 535, 318, 474. Special luxury transport SkyBus departs directly from the train station. The Kiev airport is located further from the center than Boryspil, but you can also easily get here by buses No. 302, 80, 499, 496, 9, 22, 484.
- Dnepr - passengers on international flights can get here by only three regular buses - No. 109, 60, 73. A huge plus is that the transport starts at 4:47 am and ends at 00:05.
- Lviv – the airport is conveniently located relative to the city center, as well as transport interchanges. Minibus taxis with numbers 10, 9, 48 go straight to the terminal. Tourists should check the operation of these buses during the holiday period, and on weekends directly on the day of departure.
- Kharkov - the city airport is 12 kilometers away from the center, but this does not create problems. You can get to it almost around the clock by the following buses: No. 5, 115, 152, 255, 119. Considering the intense city traffic, tourists need to plan their travel time with a reserve.
- Odessa is proud not only of its excellent airport, its unique proximity to the residential part of the city, but also of its excellent transport links. This is one of the few airports in Ukraine where you can quickly and without much difficulty reach it at almost any time of the day. Routes No. 14, 156, 129, 232, 117 go to the terminal.
Each of the above urban modes of transport has an individual schedule, which may vary depending on various factors. Therefore, each should be checked separately on the official website.
Tourists can also travel by their own car. Each of the listed air hubs has a separate guarded parking lot. Here you can leave your vehicle, pay a fixed price in advance and pick up the car after a certain period of time.
In the event that regular transport does not operate, there is little time left before departure, or the suitcases are too heavy, travelers can use taxi services. This option will be expensive, but nevertheless the fastest and most comfortable.
Airport services
The main services at all international Ukrainian airports are similar – in some even identical. The largest list of various amenities is available at large airports. Accordingly, airports with smaller dimensions, as a rule, provide a minimum of services.
First of all, it should be noted that international air terminals have spacious halls with panoramic views of the runway. Equipped with linear seating, restrooms, and a room for smokers. Near the passenger check-in area there are stations for packing suitcases with stretch tape - the payment is fixed, the material and accessories are provided.
Duty Free stores are open in all of them, offering a range of food and non-food products from global manufacturers at low prices.
Airports also provide a number of the following services:
- business lounge, fully equipped for corporate clients - full-fledged business, negotiations, meetings;
- childcare room;
- first aid station, pharmacy kiosk;
- public catering points - restaurants, cafe-bars, cafes, sushi bars, Fast-Food.
There is a hotel at Boryspil airport, and Lviv airport has a car rental office. At each international airport, tourists can order VIP services, a full list of which is posted on the official website along with prices. Such services must be ordered in advance - at least 24 hours in advance.
Flight and visa
Tourists who wish to travel to the Czech Republic for tourism purposes are required to obtain a visa. Typically it takes 3-30 days to process your application. The cost of a visa depends on the age category of the traveler, as well as other nuances, and averages 70-100 euros. You will also need to pay ongoing fees.
Air travel to the Czech Republic is short, its duration depends on the location of the selected airports and the transport company:
- Kyiv – Prague – 1 hour 26 minutes;
- Kharkov – Prague – 1 hour 56 minutes;
- Dnepr – Prague – 1 hour 50 minutes;
- Odessa – Prague 1 hour 34 minutes;
- Lviv – Prague – 51 minutes.
The time period may vary slightly. Despite such a short flight, tourists are obliged to take care of their own well-being in advance. There are some recommendations to consider. In particular, exclude exotic and fatty foods from the diet, as well as Asian seafood dishes that have not been heat-treated. You should not drink strong alcoholic drinks, highly carbonated drinks, or freshly squeezed juices.
What to do if the flight from Ukraine to the Czech Republic is delayed?
Given the intense air traffic in the modern world, flight delays or cancellations are a typical normal situation. Transportation companies care about the comfort of passengers and their own reputation, and therefore try to solve the problem in a short time, in favor of the client.
Tourists should remain calm in such a situation and also behave pragmatically. As soon as the relevant data appears on the airport information board, the passenger should take a photo of it, as well as the ticket. Evidence will be decisive in the event of proceedings and will contribute to the payment of financial compensation.
While the tourist is languishing in anticipation, he has the right to take advantage of the following privileges completely free of charge:
- After 2-3 hours, the traveler should be provided with sandwiches and drinks.
- After 5-7 hours, a hot lunch is served.
- After 10 hours, comfortable transport to the nearest airport should be provided, followed by overnight accommodation.
If the issue with the flight delay is not resolved for a long time, you can exchange the ticket for another without additional payments or demand a full refund, which will allow you to purchase another travel document in the near future.
