My final day in Prague (and beyond) centered on transit, including Metro trains, buses, airplanes, and vans.

Day Three In Prague

I woke up early to get some work done before heading downstairs around 10:30 am for breakfast the Andaz Prague. The breakfast spread included a buffet and a la carte menu. To eat, I had fresh fruit, avocado toast, and Turkish-style eggs. To drink, I had freshly-squeezed orange juice, a green smoothie, and a couple of flat whites.

After getting a bit more work done, I headed out for a tour of the Soviet-era Metro system in Prague. It was a beautiful morning.

Whenever I am in a former Soviet or Eastern Bloc country, I like to visit the Metro. These transit systems often incorporate unique architecture or artwork and Prague was not an exception. Along the way, I stopped at stations, including Andel station, which included a Moscow – Prague friendship sign (which controversially has remained up during the Ukraine War) and artwork on train platforms praising Soviet advancements and solidarity, such as the launch of Sputnik.

This turned out to be a lot more time-consuming that I thought and and I was unable to finish my tour before heading back to the Andaz.

There, I worked out and sat in the sauna and steam room ahead of checkout time and my 6:30 pm flight to Amsterdam.

Since I had enough time, rather than take Uber or Bolt to the airport, I took the bus…the station was a short walk from the hotel.

The bus was an excellent, inexpensive, and easy option for reaching the airport.

At Václav Havel Airport Prague, I checked in for my flight and visited two lounges, first the generic “Business Class Lounge” which had nice goulash (I was hungry by now…).

Next, I checked out the nearby Erste Premier Lounge, which was much more crowded.

Boarding for my KLM 737-800 flight began at 6:00 pm. I was seated in business class and found my seat in 1A.

We took off on time, with a 439-mile flight in the air for only about an hour. A boxed meal was served in business class…I wrote more about that here.

We landed on-time at Schiphol Airport, where I had a fairly long walk to the curb, though thankfully only had to wait a few minutes for my shuttle to the Hyatt Place.

At this point in the year, I thought I still had a chance ot make Globalist status…that won’t happen and part of me wishes I had just walked across the street and stayed at the Sheraton, though on the other hand it was 3x the price…

The Hyatt Place was just fine and Globalist ride free to the airport.

It was time to rest.

Looking back, part of me feels like I did not accomplish much, but it was still a very full day.
