Online Reviews Summary
Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) generally receives positive feedback from travelers, often praised for its efficiency and modern infrastructure. It was even ranked as the fifth-best airport in Europe in 2023 and has garnered awards for exceptional passenger service quality in 2025. However, traveler experiences can be mixed, with some notable areas for improvement.
What Travelers Love
- Cleanliness and Modern Facilities: The airport is consistently described as very clean, often spotlessly clean, with spacious and relatively modern facilities.
- Ease of Navigation: Travelers find the airport straightforward and easy to navigate.
- Excellent Public Transport Connections: Václav Havel Airport offers convenient and inexpensive public transport options to the city center, with the 59 trolleybus (connecting to Metro Line A) being a popular and fast choice.
- Efficient Security (for EU flights/off-peak): Security checks are often described as fast and a "breeze," especially for EU flights without passport control, with reported wait times around 10-15 minutes in many cases.
- Good Amenities: Free and reliable WiFi is widely available. There are good food options at reasonable prices in the food court, ample charging sockets, and comfortable lounge areas, including a new "chill-out area" in Terminal 2.
Common Complaints
- Long Passport Control Queues (Non-EU): This is a significant and frequent complaint, with non-EU passport holders reporting excessively long wait times, often exceeding an hour, and sometimes up to two hours, at immigration, which some describe as chaotic and inefficient.
- Gate-Specific Security: Security screening at individual gates, particularly in Terminal 1 (Non-Schengen), is an inconvenience. It can restrict access to amenities and prevent purchasing liquids after passing the initial checkpoint.
- Limited Facilities After Hours: Some travelers note that certain facilities and shops may close after 10 pm, limiting options for late-night or early-morning flights.
- Unfriendly Staff: There are occasional reports of unfriendly or surly staff encounters, particularly at passport control.
Overall, Václav Havel Airport Prague is generally well-regarded for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and excellent public transport links. However, travelers, especially non-EU citizens, should be prepared for potentially significant delays at passport control.
