According to the sellers, the most popular destinations are mainly the southern European countries. According to Kiwi.com, Spain, Italy and Greece lead.

The average price of air tickets is also falling. For the Letuška.cz portal, it was around 6,250 crowns in the middle of the month, down 3,000 crowns year-on-year. This is mainly due to an increase in demand for European destinations, which now account for about 85 percent of sales. However, prices themselves are also falling in some European places, such as Spain or Italy, which have fallen by about a fifth in recent weeks.

The crisis has also affected the behavior of customers who now buy tickets much less in advance than before, because they fear further developments in the coronavirus situation. According to previous information from Kiwi.com, the time of ticket purchase before departure decreased by about ten days year-on-year. “This is confirmed by the future trend where people will order tickets much less in advance, they will require more flexibility, less risk,” said Michal Šindelář, Vice President for Kiwi.com Products. Currently, the average booking time before departure is 21 days.

Along with the growth in sales, the number of renewed airlines from the Czech Republic is also rising. At Prague Airport, there are currently regular flights to more than 60 destinations. Compared to last summer season, this is about half of the destinations.
