What MAN to PRG looks like
The MAN to PRG sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Manchester MAN to Prague PRG is a short sector of 1,192 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,192 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 01m.
Manchester MAN is a major hub in the network held here, 203 scheduled destinations and 374.8 departures a day. Prague PRG has 191 destinations and 251.7 departures a day.
Prague is one hour ahead of Manchester all year.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 102 of them join MAN to PRG.
| Connecting at | MAN to hub, flights a day | Hub to PRG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dusseldorf DUS | 1.71 | 2 | 1,199 | 4h 01m |
| Cologne CGN | 1.43 | 0.71 | 1,209 | 4h 02m |
| Brussels BRU | 1.86 | 3.43 | 1,233 | 4h 04m |
| Charleroi CRL | 3.29 | 1.29 | 1,259 | 4h 07m |
| Luxembourg City LUX | 0.57 | 0.71 | 1,297 | 4h 09m |
| Frankfurt FRA | 3.43 | 9 | 1,239 | 4h 10m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at MAN in the afternoon actually flies on.
102 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Dusseldorf DUS, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through DUS the routing covers 1,199 km against the 1,192 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 01m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 00m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Cologne CGN at 4h 02m and Brussels BRU at 4h 04m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for MAN to PRG in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
