Travel Recap

Itinerary called for Atlanta to Paris to Prague to Tbilisi. There is a direct flight from Atlanta to Prague. I'd recommend this, although it does leave one waiting in Prague for the flight to Tbilisi for about 11 hours. I met three individuals in the Prague airport who traveled this route. They rented a car at the airport and toured Prague while waiting...pretty good idea.

Leave plenty of time for transitions between flights. Czech Airlines is awesome. Nice equipment, great staff and good food. They serve you something to eat on even short flights. Maybe US carriers should try serving food?!?!?

Timing for this trip follows:
1400,Friday - Depart Warner Robins, GA
1600 - Arrive Hartsfield
1700 - AirFrance desk opens and seating on Air France flight secured
2100,Saturday - Air France flight departs ATL.
1100 (Paris Time) - Arrive Paris, Charles DeGaulle Airport
1545 - Depart Paris for Prague (Czech Airlines, 1 hour 20 minutes)
1700 (Pragues time, same as Paris) - Arrive Prague
2145 - "Scheduled" departure time from Prague
2245 - Actual departure from Prague
0400,Sunday - (Tbilisi time, 2 hours earlier than Prague) arrival in Tbilisi
0600 - In to bed and not really sure what time it is. It's eight hours different from home, so total travel time was about 32 hours
