Taxis to Santa Maria cost €25-30 (30 minutes) and to Sal Rei town €15-20. There are no public buses from the airport. Some hotels offer free airport transfers – confirm when booking. If your final destination is another island (Santiago, Boa Vista, São Vicente), you’ll need to take an inter-island flight with Binter or stopover in Sal. TACV also operates domestic routes between islands.
How far in advance should I book Prague to Cape Verde flights?
Book 6-10 weeks ahead for the best prices. This is the sweet spot where airlines have released their discounted fare classes but haven’t yet raised prices as departure approaches. Booking 12+ weeks ahead doesn’t guarantee better prices – airlines sometimes release seats at higher initial prices to test demand. For May travel, book by early March; for September, book by early July. Last-minute bookings (2-3 weeks) rarely yield deals on this route as demand consistently outstrips supply, especially during school holidays.
Is it cheaper to fly from Prague to Cape Verde on weekdays?
Yes, Tuesday and Wednesday departures are typically €30-60 cheaper than Friday-Sunday flights. This pattern holds throughout the year, though the difference narrows during peak periods. Tuesday is usually the cheapest day to fly, followed by Wednesday. If you can be flexible with your travel dates, shifting from a weekend departure to midweek can save significant money. Note that return flights (Cape Verde to Prague) show less day-of-week variation since European business travelers dominate midweek departures from Cape Verde.
