To enjoy your vacation without delays or unnecessary stress, careful preparation before departure is essential. Here are key steps recommended by Prague Airport to ensure your trip is smooth and hassle-free.

Check Travel Conditions and Requirements

• Entry Conditions:
  • Confirm entry requirements and transit conditions on the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
  • For exotic destinations, arrange necessary vaccinations and additional travel insurance.
• Covid and Health Requirements:
  • Check the current Covid-19 requirements—some destinations may still require masks or have other health measures in place.

Medical Preparation

• Consult Your Doctor:
  • People with pacemakers or defibrillators should consult their doctor prior to flying.
  • Obtain medical documentation, especially for medication in liquid, aerosol, or gel form.
  • Pack sufficient medication for your journey, with extra in your carry-on luggage.

Traveling with Children

• Written Parental Consent:
  • If traveling with a child who isn’t yours (e.g., a grandchild), carry a signed and officially verified consent from the child’s legal guardian.
  • The consent should include:
    • Child’s full name, birthdate, and passport number.
    • Your details as the accompanying adult.
    • Destination and travel dates.
  • Prepare this document in both Czech and English.

Ticket Booking Considerations

• Inform the airline of any health restrictions during booking.
• Clearly state if you’re traveling with children and ensure correct details:
  • Infants (under two years) typically do not have their own seat.
  • Children (two to twelve years) require their own seat.

Luggage Restrictions

• Confirm luggage dimension and weight restrictions on your airline’s website or your ticket.
• Low-cost airlines often allow only one item of cabin luggage included in the basic fare:
  • Personal items (handbag, laptop bag, or small backpack).
  • Carry-on luggage (usually up to 8 kg).

Special Assistance at Prague Airport

• Mobility Assistance:
  • Passengers with disabilities, reduced mobility, or temporary injuries (e.g., sprained ankle) can request dedicated airport assistance (available 24 hours).
  • Book assistance in advance, ideally when purchasing your ticket, specifying your needs clearly to ensure full support from check-in to boarding.

Hydration and Well-being

• Airplane cabins have very dry air, increasing dehydration risks.
• Drink plenty of unflavored water before and during your flight.
• Completely avoid alcoholic beverages to maintain hydration.

Following these recommendations ensures that your departure from Prague Airport is stress-free, setting a positive tone for your entire journey.
