How is the traffic at PRG? Is it worth to stay there full day to take pictures? I was there last year but I only had enough time to have a beer :)

Traffic is... well have a look

PRG gets regular China Airlines Cargo 744F, Korean 330(Summer), and TU154's. Also a bunch of European airlines. Czech Police has choppers at Ruzyne and "Czech Air Force 1" is also something to catch there.

PRG's live arrivals and departures:

Traffic at PRG is quite good... But it's kind of airport where are busy and really boring times, when no aircraft lands... If you will head down there, give me a call

[tipek]

I'll be there at the end of September or begining of October.
I'm planning on going to few other airports in that area.

Koshice Slovakia
Debrecen Hungary
Budapest Hungary
Bratislava Slovakia
Vienna Austria
Prague Czech Rep.
Wroclaw Poland
Krakow Poland

The thing is that I have one week to go to all those places and I'm thinking of skipping one airport. So its eather VIE or PRG. I want to stay at BUD at least two full days.
At PRG I want to cash on CSA ATRs and at VIE I want to grab F70/100s. Tough choice :)

Have you ever been to Debrecen airport for spotting? There isn't much info on the web about that airport.

I'd drop BTS and go to VIE they're actually not far from each other, but VIE has a much better traffic.

OK has new ATR's, very comfy looking.

[tipek]

No way that I'm gonna drop BTS :) Where else I will get Air Slovakia and Slovakian Airliens birds?
From VIE I just need Fokkers. I have entire Austrian long haul fleet and some Airbuses. BTS is place to be :)

:P and what about aua dash?
I would drop KSC, if youre not planning to visit military aviation museum overthere...
If you would like, I can join you at BTS, PRG and VIE whihc i consider to be my home airports :)
BTW : Slovak Airlines went bancrupt

Not if she replaced the blue with pink!

[tipek]

Ketko,

Where are you based right now?
I can get Austrian Dash at PRG or KRK.
KSC will be tactical stop on the way to Debrecen, since its only located 1hr away from my hometown :) I'm not planning on spending more than 30 minutes at that place :)
I wouldn't mind if you show me around BTS, VIE and PRG :)
My main goal of this trip is to catch Malev's long haul birds. I guess two days should be enough. Whatever else I get will be as a side bonus :)

I live in Nitra... Where is your hometown? I live hour from BTS, two from VIE and 6 from PRG, but for me its not problem those 6 hours... I go there on two days trip quite a lot... And if you go to BUD, may I join you? I want to go there this year too, to see MALEV 767 and also to visit the museum with TU154, TU134, ... When are you planning to do this trip? Do you have ICQ or MSN?
