Smartwings will introduce a new direct route between Prague and Lisbon this autumn, giving travelers a nonstop connection to the Portuguese capital for the first time through the Czech carrier’s regular network.

The new service will begin operating on October 23, with flights departing three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Tickets are already available across Smartwings’ distribution channels, with one-way fares starting at CZK 2,934, including standard hand luggage.

The launch reflects growing demand among Czech travelers for convenient access to popular European destinations. Lisbon has become an increasingly sought-after city break destination, attracting visitors with its historic neighborhoods, coastal setting, food scene and mild climate.

“We have been observing increasing interest among Czech passengers in attractive European destinations for a long time. That is why we continue to expand our network of scheduled routes,” said Michal Váňa, Sales Director of Smartwings.

He added that the new connection would allow passengers to reach one of Europe’s most visited capitals without the need for a transfer.

Lisbon will become the airline’s fourth destination in Portugal. Smartwings already operates flights from Prague to Porto, Funchal on the island of Madeira, and Ponta Delgada on São Miguel in the Azores.

The carrier is also strengthening several existing European routes as part of its winter schedule expansion. Flights to Porto, Bilbao and Toulouse will increase from two to three weekly services, offering passengers greater flexibility when planning both leisure and business trips.

In addition, Smartwings will convert its Prague–Nice route into a year-round service. Previously available only during the summer season, flights to the French Riviera destination will now continue throughout the year with a frequency of three flights per week.
