Is this weird or normal? flight question

So i need to go one way from Milan to Prague this August and I was looking at train prices and times and they were like $80 or so and many hours, but then I found an hour and a half flight that said it was only 7 euro. Can I trust that or should I think twice. I think it was through something called SmartWings or something. Thoughts anyone?

The fare is real and the airline is legit. But like hypatia says, it's not actually 7 euros. After you add all the fees and taxes, it maybe about 40 euros. Still cheaper than the plane, probably.

But in their fine print terms, it says there are no hidden fees, that all fares, taxes and charges are shown. This is my first time booking flights, so does that still mean it will cost a bit more?

There are some amazing, and true, fares. The only "problem" is that they fly to smaller out-of-the-way airports. So, you'll have to add in some more euros and time. But it's better than the trains- more time and money to see things!

I looked into it and i can get from Milan (the airport is about an hour away) for about 4 euro. Not bad.
