To
avoid jet lag the easiest way is to sleep all the way over (going east) and stay
awake on the way back (going west). If you are flying business you have the option
of dinner on request. As soon as you get on board order dinner and with dinner
take a short acting sleeping pill (e. g. Halcyon or Ambien). Request that your
flight attendant wake you for breakfast.
Take the night flight and you
then awake in the morning, Prague time.On the way home you need to stay awake
as long as you can. Check out the in-flight movies (I have watched as many as
four full features on the way home.)
If you can stay awake until at least
9:00 PM (4:00 AM Prague time) you should have no problem sleeping the night. Another
short acting sleeping pill will ensure that you wake up on your home time. I have
done Weekend Theater in London with this method.
The
Shuttle stop is close to the CSA-Building across the Marriott Hotel at Namesti
Republiky and goes daily between 5:30 a.m. til 9:30 p.m. every 30 minutes via
Metro stop Dejvicka (Metro A) to Letiste Ruzyne (Airport Prague). A single trip
is 90 CZK per person.
Cedaz also operated 'Shuttle Vans', that cost
720 CZK for maximum 8 people, but the price is divided by the number of people,
therefore if there was just 4 people it would cost 720 CZK divided by 4 so 180
CZK per person. If the bus is full (8 persons) then 90 CZK per person.
There isn't any other service than taxi service which stops exactly
where people want to go.
Taxis charge a flat rate per zone. Prague 1 is 650 CZK, Prague 2 is
720 CZK etc. But you should reconfirm the rate with the driver.
