October is an excellent month to fly from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG). Shoulder-season fares often drop after the summer peak; expect competitive one-stop fares via Frankfurt (FRA), Amsterdam (AMS), London (LHR), or Warsaw (WAW). Typical booking windows for the best prices are 6–10 weeks prior to departure and midweek flights (Tuesday–Thursday) tend to be cheapest. From IAD, allow 2.5–3 hours pre-departure for international flights; use the Washington Flyer Silver Line Express for a reliable transfer to the metro. Nearby major cities often served by IAD include Washington, D.C.; Arlington; Baltimore; Philadelphia; and New York City. Book now to secure fall savings on IAD to PRG routes and sign up for fare alerts to catch limited-time deals.
