About this route
Route overview
The PRG -> KTW inter-airport route links the Czech capital with the Wizz Air hub in Upper Silesia. 420 km via the D1 to Brno, R1 and CZ/PL motorways to Pyrzowice, 4 h 30 min - 5 h off-peak. KTW is one of the strongest Wizz Air hubs in the region with direct flights to 40+ cities (Dubai, Reykjavik, US via Reykjavik with Iceland Express). Pyrzowice sits 30 km north of Katowice, so the route does not enter the city centre. The bottlenecks are the D1 around Brno (roadworks and heavy goods traffic) and the CZ/PL border crossing at Cieszyn. The route is popular with Czech automotive business delegations (Skoda) to the steelworks and factories in Katowice, Gliwice and Tychy. The service operates 24/7, including early Pyrzowice departures (Wizz Air to Dubai 6:30). We recommend a 4 hour buffer before a KTW departure. Mercedes E-Class from EUR 1,450 for 1-3 passengers, V-Class from EUR 1,750 for 4-6.
