How long is the Prague to Warsaw Chopin transfer?
Typically 7 - 8 h off-peak. The route runs across southern Poland and Moravia, past Ostrava and Olomouc. The border crossing is usually queue-free; allow 20-45 min extra on Friday afternoons and at peak times. We back-plan against the WAW departure time.
How much buffer should I leave before a Chopin departure?
We recommend 5 hours for an LOT departure to New York, Toronto, Tokyo or Doha and 4 hours for European flights. We back-plan against the flight time, factoring in S8 traffic around Warsaw and the Zwirki i Wigury approach to Chopin. The fixed price holds regardless of road delays.
My flight into Prague is delayed — what happens?
We track the flight in real time and shift pickup automatically. 60 minutes of free waiting is included. If the delay threatens the WAW connection, one direct contact line stays open — we operate 24/7 and handle overnight misconnects without forcing an unplanned Prague hotel stay.
Is the price per person or for the whole vehicle?
For the whole vehicle — a private transfer exclusively for your group, up to 4 passengers (sedan) or 7 (van). You do not share with other travellers. For 2-4 passengers the cost per head is comparable to or less than a connecting flight, and the transfer eliminates baggage risk and airline schedule dependency.
Train or private transfer Prague-Warsaw — which is better?
A direct Prague-Warsaw train takes 9-10 hours (EuroCity with a change in Katowice or Ostrava) plus station transfers at both ends. For passengers arriving at PRG with airport luggage, the chauffeur transfer is more straightforward: pickup at the terminal, one vehicle all the way to Chopin, no platform changes or metro stairs with suitcases, and no risk of missing a connection after a short transit.
Can we stop along the way, for example in Olomouc?
Yes — a stop in Olomouc (around 90 km past Brno) is possible at no extra charge for up to 30 minutes. A longer stop is charged as additional waiting time — please note this at booking. The route also passes through Ostrava and the Cieszyn border area, offering natural short breaks.
What does the transfer price include?
The fixed rate covers the exclusive vehicle and chauffeur, fuel, Czech and Polish motorway vignettes, 60 minutes of complimentary waiting at the airport, live flight monitoring, and VAT. No surcharges for luggage, night-time pickups or motorway tolls. The price agreed at booking does not change after arrival.
Can I add a stop on route Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG) → Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)?
Yes. Planned stops and waiting windows can be included within a single booking.
Will I receive route confirmation before pickup?
Yes. Core timing and operational details are confirmed before dispatch.
