Aer Lingus on 10 December launched its annual ‘Sparkling Winter Cities’ promotion, offering one-way fares from Dublin to Prague for as little as €50.60 for travel through 31 March 2026. Bookings must be made by 17 December and seat availability is limited.
The carrier is also discounting flights to Frankfurt and Vienna, but Prague remains the only Central-European destination in the campaign, reflecting strong leisure and expatriate demand. Although the sale targets consumers, corporate travel managers with Irish operations can leverage the lower inventory to reduce short-notice relocation costs and contractor rotation expenses during the slow winter season.
Prague Airport reports that passenger volumes from Ireland have rebounded to 92 % of 2019 levels; Aer Lingus competes with Ryanair on the route, and analysts expect Ryanair to match or beat the sale pricing in the coming days.

Before finalising any bookings, organisations may find it useful to pre-check visa or ETIAS requirements through VisaHQ, which maintains an up-to-date portal for Czech Republic travel (https://www.visahq.com/czech-republic/). The service can expedite letters of invitation, arrange multiple-entry Schengen visas, and alert travellers to pending rule changes—saving mobility teams both time and compliance headaches.
Companies should remind travelling staff that Prague’s Terminal 1 now operates the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), meaning first-time non-EU visitors will face biometric capture on arrival and departure. Extra connection time should be built into itineraries.
Tip: advance-purchase tickets booked during the sale remain changeable for a fee, making them a flexible hedge against price spikes around St Patrick’s Day and Easter.
