Smartwings to Open Regular Route from Prague to the Azores

Smartwings is expanding its offerings for the upcoming summer season, with yet another exciting destination.

Starting on the 26th of April 2024, Smartwings will introduce direct flights from Prague to Ponta Delgada Airport in the Azores.

This scheduled service will run twice a week, specifically on Tuesdays and Fridays. Until now, travelers seeking a direct flight from Prague to the Azores, had to rely on different connecting flights.

Flight QS1172 will depart from Prague Airport every Tuesday and Friday at noon, arriving at Ponta Delgada at 15:30 local time. The return flight, QS1173 from Ponta Delgada to Prague, is scheduled to depart at 16:15 local time, with a landing at Prague Airport at 22:50.

“We are connecting Prague to the Canary Islands, including Tenerife (daily flights starting from May 6th, 2024), Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Madeira in Portugal, and we are delighted to announce that, come April, our customers can explore another alluring destination in the Atlantic: the largest island in the Azores, São Miguel. This will be exclusively accessible via direct Smartwings flights from Prague,” says Peter Šujan, Chief Commercial Officer of Smartwings.

Starting tomorrow, the 14th of September, clients will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to Ponta Delgada through the Smartwings and Czech Airlines websites (as part of a code-share cooperation), as well as from ticket resellers.

For the 2024 summer schedule, Smartwings will be providing direct flights from Czech airports to over 70 destinations.
