Wizz Air launches direct Prague to Poprad-Tatry flights on 25 October 2026

Wizz Air starts a new direct route between Václav Havel Airport Prague and Poprad-Tatry Airport in Slovakia, the gateway to the High Tatra mountains, on 25 October 2026. The airline flies the route three times a week, on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with an Airbus A321neo, and the flight takes about one hour and ten minutes. Wizz Air's corporate communications manager, Vera Járdán, said the new route diversifies the airline's connections from Slovakia. From January 2027, Wizz Air plans to add a fourth weekly flight, on Tuesdays.

What it means for your trip

• A new way to reach the High Tatras. If your trip to Prague is combined with hiking or skiing in Slovakia's High Tatra mountains, you can now fly on from Prague instead of taking a train or a long drive.
• Three flights a week at launch. Expect Thursday, Saturday and Sunday departures from 25 October 2026, rising to four a week, with a Tuesday flight, from January 2027.
• Early fares were advertised from EUR 24.99 one way. That promotional price applies to a limited number of seats, so check the current fare on Wizz Air's own site before you book.
• Slovakia is in the Schengen area, so this route does not involve the EU's Entry/Exit System checks that apply to flights from outside Schengen.
• Connecting through Prague Airport? Our guide to getting from Prague Airport to the city centre covers your options, and if we arrange your airport transfer, your driver tracks your flight and waits for you in the arrivals hall.
