NEED FAST RESPONSES!!! JFK TO PRAGUE $441.31...
 
...this includes taxes, is this a ticket I should grab? Travel dates are 04/16/01 thru 04/30/01. I will still need to get from Buffalo to JFK, about $100. I've got to move quickly on this if I want it...! <BR> <BR>oh, it's with Czech Airlines, if that matters.

Grab it!

Doug Nov 30th, 2000 11:01 AM

That beats any fare I've seen in a long time!!

Lisa, per Travelocity you can fly BUF to Prague on those dates for $538 all-in but it shows you traveling through Newark. <BR> <BR>Though I know nothing about Czech Airlines, it's a great fare. If you don't buy the whole trip together (including the BUF legs), be sure that you can get a separate ticket from BUF to JFK or EWR for only $100 (and make sure you've got the right NYC airport).

Hi Lisa: <BR>I don't know a thing about Czech Airlines, so that's means I've heard nothing bad! The fare seems unbeatable, go for it and have a great trip!

Hi Lisa: <BR>Czech Airlines is partnered with Korean Air and Air France...both are pretty good. Go and have a great time!

SharonM Nov 30th, 2000 11:11 AM

Ditto. Grab it! (considering it's 570.00 at that same time for NYC-Frankfurt)

Brian in Atlanta Nov 30th, 2000 11:24 AM

Lisa, disregard my post above. I went back to Travelocity to recheck and now it's telling me that Czech Airlines only flies out of JFK. And I can't find that fare from BUF anymore. Sorry for any confusion.

Christina Nov 30th, 2000 11:41 AM

yes, that's a great fare RT NY-PRG. I've flown Czech Airlines within Europe and they were fine, better than a lot of US airlines IMO in quality and attitude and service. I flew in May from East Coast, but it was still about twice that rate, as I recall. But if you can't get the local portion very cheap, it may not be the greatest deal.

Thanks to all for the lightning fast responses!!!! I just booked thru Travelocity, I don't know what happened, Brian in Atlanta, but I did get the fare you mentioned(538.) and it is out of Newark. <BR> <BR>Thank you all!!!!!!!!

Brian in Atlanta Nov 30th, 2000 11:49 AM

Congratulations. I went to ITN.com and the EWR flights were there, but priced at $950. <BR> <BR>Maybe a lot of Fodorites were trying to take advantage of the fare you mentioned and overwhelmed the system. Who knows.

I flew Czech Air to Prague a year ago and it was like a normal delta/etc flight. Stews were cuter tho, I must say.

Lisa: We returned from Prague just last week. We went through Summit Tours flying Continental from Buffalo to Newark and on Czech Airlines from Newark to Prague. We stayed for one week at a cost of $629.00 P/P for air (Newark-Prague), hotel, breakfast, airport-hotel transportation and one free dinner. We paid $82.00 R/T from Buffalo to Newark. <BR> <BR>Czech Airlines is a class act. I usually take 30+ flights each year on business, but CSA has better service than US Airways, American and Northwest. We were on a new aircraft with global positioning that constantly showed us where we were, air speed and when we would arrive. <BR> <BR>$441.00 is probably a good price for April. Our price was better since it was November. You can check with Summit at www.summittours.com for info or comparison shopping. I recommend them, but I am not affiliated with any travel agency. <BR> <BR>Good luck.

snap this fare up! <BR>csa is a fine national airline; you'll likely get a state-of-the-art airbus plane out of jfk, and the crew and staff are welcoming and friendly.
