SunExpress is launching a new direct seasonal route between Prague and Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city.

The flights will operate twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays, from June 5th to September 29th, 2024.

Affordable Travel with Checked Baggage Included

Tickets are already available for purchase, with one-way fares starting from a budget-friendly CZK 3,000. This price includes a checked baggage allowance of up to 30kg, eliminating the need for additional fees.

The flight time is approximately 2 hours and 35 minutes. Departures from Prague will be at 9:40 PM, while flights from Izmir will take off at 7:00 PM.

SunExpress will operate the route using Boeing 737-800 or 737 MAX 8 aircraft, both configured to comfortably seat 189 passengers.

Additional Option: Smartwings Enters the Market

Starting May 30th, Czech airline Smartwings will also offer flights between Prague and Izmir. Their service will operate on Mondays and Thursdays.

However, it’s important to note that Smartwings’ one-way fares start from CZK 4,900 and do not include checked baggage in the base price.

Located on the eastern coast of the Aegean Sea, Izmir boasts a population of 2.96 million, making it Turkey’s third-largest city.

Surrounded by rolling hills, the city enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters.
