What PRG to TLV looks like
The PRG to TLV sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Prague PRG to Tel Aviv TLV is a medium haul sector of 2,635 km by great circle, flown nonstop 6.1 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,635 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 52m.
Prague PRG is a major hub in the network held here, 191 scheduled destinations and 251.7 departures a day. Tel Aviv TLV has 110 destinations and 275.3 departures a day.
Tel Aviv is one hour ahead of Prague all year.
The pair sits between Europe and the Middle East, a corridor where the site already publishes 66 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on PRG to TLV from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRG to TLV | 6.14 | 43 | Arkia Israeli Airlines, El Al, Israir Airlines, SmartWings, Tus Airways |
| TLV to PRG | 5.86 | 41 | Arkia Israeli Airlines, El Al, Israir Airlines, SmartWings, Tus Airways |
5 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 6.1 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 84 departures a week on PRG to TLV, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 3h 52m block time on PRG to TLV. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

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. 69 of them join PRG to TLV.
| Connecting at | PRG to hub, flights a day | Hub to TLV, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sofia SOF | 1.86 | 3.29 | 2,639 | 5h 22m |
| Bourgas BOJ | 4 | 3.86 | 2,657 | 5h 24m |
| Varna VAR | 1.43 | 1.4 | 2,676 | 5h 25m |
| Bratislava BTS | 2.29 | 1.29 | 2,635 | 5h 26m |
| Kos KGS | 2.14 | 1.18 | 2,692 | 5h 26m |
| Larnaca LCA | 1.29 | 17.22 | 2,646 | 5h 27m |
With 6.1 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
69 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Sofia SOF, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through SOF the routing covers 2,639 km against the 2,635 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 22m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 30m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Bourgas BOJ at 5h 24m and Varna VAR at 5h 25m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Prague, Leipzig LEJ is 205 km away by great circle and carries 85 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Tel Aviv, Amman AMM is 109 km away by great circle and carries 72 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

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 PRG to TLV 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.
