Big airport but very easy and everything just works. Very well organised.
GA parks at the so-called "old terminal" and the taxi drivers know it as such.
The PROBLEM, always repeated on each of several visits, is that you cannot extract a proper quote from the handler. They then sting you for a few hundred € more than they originally quoted, and if you show them their email quote they just shrug their shoulders. One pilot who went there after me kicked up a big stink and got the originally quoted price. So check before flying there, and still expect to get hit for maybe €300 :)
Prague is of course hugely scenic, and the "tourist" part is quite compact. It is well worth getting a taxi to the Kbely aviation museum though.
