I'm going to get 2x business class round the world soon and bye bye Czech Airlines.

CSA sucks big time.

Any hints for Card Match to star alliance? Miles and More would be good, since both Lufthansa and Austrian have a good footing in Vienna.

really, really sad
If you already had to wait 6hrs, why did you not switch to another route earlier?

I fly the ATH route regularly as well, and I usually have a connection within 45 minutes of arriving in Prague.

Sadly I'm following the red sauce around as I'm now a regular on the PRG-AMS route for the next few months.

On the subject of LHR, was chatting to the crew on yesterday's flight, they say that everyone was speechless when the news about the UK being scrapped was broken. No one can believe it and he said that they expected other premium routes to go soon as they sell slots off for cash.

To serve a business class meal of fried cheese and chopped vegetables (note not salad) really felt sub-standard.
That is the classic Red Stuff........however, amazingly, yesterday, for the first time in over a year, on OK623 AMS-PRG...there was NO Red Stuff.....but we got Grey Stuff instead.......will upload a pic later today. It was worse then the Red Stuff in the end....

Is that the grey green stuff that comes with the odd tasting chicken covered in the white seeds?

Looks like CSA may have entered the soylent green, grey and red era prematurely.

Is it me but it seems it wasn't that long ago when we were given a menu to choose from and had nice lamb in herds (my favourite) beef and lovely chicken dishes - well lovely for airline food I mean. There was also a good choice of wines.

for 10 flights to Athens via Prague, I only was waiting two times longer than 4 hours on the inbound flight, but all other were fine.

The problem is that they change schedule so often, I hardly keep it up with my own schedule....

forget to mention, I'm not flying CSA to Athens anymore, I'm flying alitalia from Vienna via Rome, it's faster and more convenient,

I believe that flight itself isn't "directly" highly profitable but what needs to be studied are the "undirect" profits: how many passengers fly CSA from Prague
The point I was making was that the difference in price between BRQ-anywhere and PRG-anywhere is about CZK 1500 at best. So that means about CZK 700 each segment to cover for PRG-BRQ. The rate for BRQ-PRG-BRQ hovers around CZK 7000, but flying to PRG from BRQ just to go to Prague takes too much time. Only the train is (slightly) slower.

Any suggestion what to exchange OK Plus Gold car for? I usually fly from London mainly to Baltics, former Yugoslavia and Middle East. Any other European Airline that offers free system-wide upgrades for elites? Thanks.

I have not heard of any others doing this on Intra-Europe flights. CSA is the only one as far as I know..
