New flights to Prague this winter: Hanoi via Almaty and Bolzano from December

Two of the new routes at Václav Havel Airport Prague for the 2026/2027 winter season link the city with Vietnam and the Italian Alps. Vietjet's regular flights between Hanoi and Prague begin in October 2026, twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with a stop in Almaty, Kazakhstan, according to Prague Airport. The airline uses an Airbus A330-300 with 377 seats, and passengers can also book the Prague to Almaty section on its own, in both directions. From 9 December 2026 to 28 March 2027, the Italian airline SkyAlps flies between Prague and Bolzano in South Tyrol every Wednesday and Sunday, with a 78-seat Dash 8-Q400 turboprop.

What it means for your trip

• Coming from Vietnam: you can now fly from Hanoi to Prague with one airline and a stop in Almaty, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
• Coming from Kazakhstan: the same flights can be booked between Almaty and Prague as a separate ticket.
• Prague plus the Dolomites: the Bolzano flights run only in the winter season, on Wednesdays and Sundays, so you can combine a city break with skiing in South Tyrol. The flight takes about 75 minutes.
• Arriving from outside the Schengen area, as on the Hanoi and Almaty flights, means registration in the EU Entry/Exit System at passport control. Our post on EES checks at Prague airport explains what to expect.
• Check the schedule with the airline before you book, as timetables can change during the season.
