About Prague Airport
Until 5 October 2012 the airport was called Prague Ruzyně Airport, after the district it stands in. That day it was renamed Václav Havel Airport Prague in honour of the playwright and first president of the Czech Republic; locals still often just say Ruzyně.

The airport has three terminals. Terminal 1 handles flights from outside the Schengen area — the UK, the USA, Israel, Turkey and others — and has passport control. Terminal 2 handles flights within Schengen. Terminal 3, on the far side of the airfield, serves private and charter aircraft. Terminals 1 and 2 are joined by a walkway, about five minutes on foot.
In the public area of Terminal 2 there is a Billa supermarket, open 6:00–21:00 on weekdays and 7:00–21:00 at weekends — useful for water or a snack after the flight. Directly opposite Terminal 1 stands the Courtyard by Marriott Prague Airport hotel. For drivers there are the P1 and P2 Express car parks in front of the terminals (one free stop of up to 10 minutes a day), short-term parking at 80 CZK an hour, and long-stay car parks from 790 CZK for eight days booked online.

The hotel opened in 2013 in a renovated city building whose reconstruction drew on Art Deco — dark wood, brass and geometric detail run through the 59 rooms over seven floors.
Its best-known feature is the rooftop terrace with a view over the Old Town roofs and towers, and the hotel also runs a small gallery and a spa for guests.
