Send in a report PRAGUE-RUZYNE AIRPORT (LKPR/PRG) - TWR 118.1 / GND 121.9 / APP 119.0, 127.575General Info The airport has 3 terminals. Terminal 1 and 2 are at the main area, with Terminal 3, used by GA, biz and military away to the east. Terminal 2 is used by the 'Schengen' airlines with all others using Terminal 1. Airside, there's no access between terminals, so pier C is out of bounds if you're travelling from Terminal 1, and vice versa. These viewing spots are marked in the Spotting in Czech Republic download. Public Transport The public transport around Prague city is excellent, very easy to use and very punctual. Buy a travel ticket from the bus/tram/metro desk in the airport terminal costing around 80Kc for a 24 hour ticket. This ticket enables you to travel on any bus, tram or metro train. Transportation maps are available from the desk. When you board your first mode of transport, put the ticket in the machine so it stamps a date and time and validates it. There are no barriers at any stations though random ticket inspectors operate. Terminal 1 Spotting Info Terminal 2 Spotting Info Terminal 2 is used primarily by those airlines flying to the 'Schengen' countries, and it is from here the ATRs depart. All the aprons of Terminal 3 can be seen from Terminal 2, from the glass wall at the far end (opposite end to pier C), but a good scope is needed to read off the aircraft. There is a viewing area at Terminal 2, which looks over a set of gates on pier C of Terminal 2 and pier B of Terminal 1. Most movements use the 06/24 runway directly in front of you so all movements can be seen. However the ATRs depart on the smaller 13 runway out of sight of the terrace, which is at 90 degrees to the main runway and you won't see them taxi out either. By far the best place to spot is once airside (and if travelling just for the day) then stay airside as long as possible - going landside only to check out maintenance/T3.
