Passengers departing from Prague Airport this summer are being advised to plan ahead as the airport prepares for its busiest travel season in years.
To help travelers avoid unnecessary delays, the airport has released a list of practical recommendations covering transport, security screening, travel documents and baggage rules.
Leave Extra Time to Reach the Airport
The biggest challenge this summer is expected to be road access to the terminals. Construction at the Aviatická–Lipská intersection may cause traffic congestion on routes leading to the airport.
Airport officials recommend using public transport whenever possible, as buses are not affected by the roadworks. Travelers arriving by car should allow extra time to reach the terminals, particularly during peak holiday periods.
Self-Service Check-In Can Save Time
Passengers can speed up the departure process by using the airport’s self-service facilities. Prague Airport now offers 31 check-in kiosks and 32 self-service baggage drop counters, available for flights operated by 18 participating airlines.
Before heading to the airport, travelers should also verify the entry requirements for their destination. Those flying to the United Kingdom, for example, now need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before departure.
Bring Physical Travel Documents
Although many travelers rely on digital wallets and electronic documents, Prague Airport reminds passengers that electronic IDs and passports cannot be used during passport control.
Travelers should carry a valid physical passport or national identity card, depending on the requirements of their destination.
Security Rules Depend on the Terminal
Passengers departing from Terminal 2 will notice a faster security process thanks to newly installed CT scanners.
The new technology allows travelers to leave electronics and liquids inside their cabin baggage during screening. In addition to the standard one-liter transparent bag containing containers of up to 100 milliliters each, passengers may also carry one extra liquid container with a capacity of up to two liters.
These updated rules currently apply only in Terminal 2. Security procedures in Terminal 1 remain unchanged.
Pack Power Banks Correctly
The airport is also reminding travelers about one of the most common packing mistakes.
Power banks, laptops and tablets must always be transported in carry-on baggage, not checked luggage. In addition, lithium batteries must not exceed 100 Wh unless specifically approved by the airline. Ignoring these rules can lead to delays during security checks or, in some cases, passengers being refused boarding.
