Czech Airlines

I flew with Czech Airlines for the first time this year when going to Prague. Not having had much input into the purchase of tickets etc to start with, I was unaware of what new experiences awaited me. Okay so maybe it's not that exciting. I have after all flown before. Czech Airlines were a good choice from the point of view that they flew from Birmingham and left early Friday Morning giving us the afternoon and evening to enjoy Prague. When you ...
...a small jumbo jet with Czech Airline colours. Tempted as I was by this I abstained from purchasing anything though it would have been a way of using up the remainder of our Czech money. There was no in-flight entertainment but for a short flight of approximately two hours I didn't feel the lack of it. On the punctuality side while we were delayed getting out thanks to the traffice at the airport, we had no other delays and made pretty good time. ...

Review of Czech Airlines

CSA Czech Airlines offer a cheap and high quality alternative for flights to Eastern Europe, both for business and holidays. Czech Airlines clearly set a mark by offering the cheapest Business tickets to anywhere in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Business tickets from the UK to destinations like Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and the likes come at around 400 to 500 Pounds (return). Western airlines like BA, Lufthansa, Swissair etc. - and even the Polish ...
...at the high quality of Czech Airlines' servicee, particularly in Business Class. As one of very few carriers in Europe, Czech Airlines offer wide Business seats in a two abreast configuration on each side. Even "quality leaders" like Swissair can't beat this: there you get a 2 to 3 configuration with a middle seat. On a two hours flight from Heathrow to Prague, you will soon come to appreciate the additional space on CSA. The food is quite good, ...

Review of Czech Airlines

...The free newspapers were mainly Czech or American, although I did manage to get a copy of The Guardian. The in-flight magazine was a bilingual affair in Czech and English, and there were some good interesting articles in it, although some information about getting to/from Ruzyne airport would have been welcome. I had no problems with baggage reclaim, and on the return flight from London, where the baggage is handled by Air France, was quite relieved ...
...you don't have to lug you cases through. Baggage security was a bit more lax than with other carriers, as there was none of the usual "Have you packed this yourself?..." rigamarole, but then again as long as all baggage is properly checked and scanned, it isn't an issue in any case. I would have no hesitation about travelling CSA again if necessary, and found their service overall a very good one. ...

Review of Czech Airlines

I flew Czech Airlines from Manchester to Krakow via Prague. The ticket price was actually cheaper than any of the budget airlines and was the reason I flew with Czech Airlines. I woke up on the morning of travel looking forward to flying to hear the news on the radio about the terror alerts across all of the UK's airports. Oh! The first problem I had was trying to contact Czech Airlines to see what the situation was regarding the afternoon flight. ...
...bar and tasted the fine Czech beer. The flight to Krakow left on time, the aircraft was an ATR72 which is a turboprop. These aircraft tend to be noisy especially at the back and there is often a vibration. However, the flight lasted on 50 minutes as we arrived at Balice airport. We were given drinks on board and a small snack. I read the in-flight magazine which was of interest. The only reason I flew with Czech Airlines was for the price. Out of ...

Review of Czech Airlines

We arrived at our respective home destinations last night having received an upgrade that was very welcome indeed. Our major concern is that all our luggage delays seem to have been at the same source even though Janine Hunter and myself travelled from Dublin via London , our bags were missed from the connection even though there was 1hour and 50 mins between flights and were x-rayed by Air France at 05.55am the following morning. My sister after ...
...forward as the flight was closing and this was the reason for the missing luggage as well having no time to shop or make it a comfortable start to a holiday. On our 4 day visit to Prague a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes of phone calls to you baggage department in Prague, shopping for essential items to tide us over before any luggage arrived, registering the complaint at Prague CSA offices travelling to and from we must have had a t least a day wasted ...

Review of Czech Airlines

...I was very impressed with Czech Airlines. They have been voted best Central European Airline and I can understand why. Very helpful cabin crew, edible food and good Czech beer. A toy for kids and a willingness to reseat you if space permits to allow babies not to be carried in the lap the whole flight. I would give the flying side 8/10. The drawbacks were delayed flights on 4 out of 4 flights and a 54 hour delay in tracking a lost item of luggage. ...

Review of Czech Airlines

I use this airline when I fly to Estonia because it enables me to travel reasonably cheaply from my local airport. Outbound flights are great. Changing at Prague is not a problem. The planes are clean. Leg room is acceptable and there are not too many sales attempts during the flights. Meals well they are aircraft meals but as they go they are reasonably tasty. The level of service in flight is good. Check in is smooth and my luggage always arrives ...
...involves a 5 hour wait at Prague Airport. This of course means 5 hours in the bar. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. Bad because I want to get home and because I usually drink too much but good because I have never sat in an airport and met so many interesting people ...
