How easy is it to get to the Czech Republic?



Hi Guys,
Few days ago Aleš spoke with one of his friends who mentioned quite an interesting and important thing to him. She said: “I didn’t know how easy it is to get to the Czech Republic”? Did you?
"Yes we do" is our answer. So let me share some tips with you on how to get to the Czech Republic and how much for. Let’s say, you are in the United Kingdom. You have generally three options as trains are really expensive and complicated comparing to the following options:
Plane
It takes about 2 hours of flight. You can find return tickets starting at £ 50.00 or € 60.00!
Direct connection is always to Prague from where you can get to Pilsen in 1 hour and to the Spa Triangle in maximally 2 hours of drive or coach ride directly from Prague airport.
Main departure destinations are in the London Area (Stanstead, Luton, Gatwick and of course Heathrow). But you can also fly to Prague from Bristol, Manchester and Edinburg!
There are some low cost companies who fly to Prague. The most frequent are EasyJet, WizzAir and Ryanair. From my experience, best is to use www.kayak.com flight finder so you can see the best match on your chosen dates.
Coach
Another quite a good option for travel between UK and Czech Republic is Coach. You will depart from London, arriving to Pilsen or Prague after 21 hours of ride. Prices usually start at £ 40.00.
These two companies offer options that worth to be considered. Student Agency http://www.studentagency.eu/ and EuroLines http://www.eurolines.co.uk/.
Car
By car it takes about 15 hours from London to Pilsne or Prague (of course depending how fast you drive and how many breaks you take on your way).  Each way is about 700 miles (1130km). I personally like to use the following tool for my road trips: http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/index.jsp.
Price? Is rally difficult to say. It depends on how many of you will travel and how hungry car you have…
My personal recommendation:
It's important to be organised so bare in mind other aspects alike number of luggage you need to take with you, transport to and from the airport and time spent there. How many people is travelling with you and what do you want to do on your holiday. In conclusion all the above mentioned options worth your consideration.
Wishing you a great journey!
Yours Dan & Ales
