The difference between arrival in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 Prague International Airport consists in the intersection of the border of the European Union. Passengers of flights landed in Terminal 1, crossed the border in the Prague airport.

Prague. The airport. Taxi

For my respected readers who use the services of taxi services "Uber" and "Gett" with a trip to Prague nothing will change. They will continue to enjoy their mobile app, as well as in the city of permanent residence. For the rest of the travelers, I note that until recently, use the services of Prague taxi drivers, it was comparable to pleasure from the services of their Russian colleagues. This is how Luis James Luis James describes their work in the British Travel Guide on Prague from Thomas Cook:

"Drivers often fill the price. Sitting in a taxi, pay attention to whether the counter is enabled. If you suspect that you are deceived, require a check and write down the car number. Try not to use a taxi if you are traveling from the airport or from the Old Town Square: the prices from here are exemplary. "

In my opinion, recently, the situation with a taxi in Prague has noticeably improved, but still safer use the services already repeatedly proven tourists of the company. At Prague Airport under the 2019 Agreement, two companies operate: Fix Taxi and Taxi 14007. Unfortunately, while I did not use their services, since I order a habit of taxi AAA.
