Day 1/2 Travel - Thursday/Friday June 9/10

Left Dallas on Continental to Newark Thursday morning. In Newark we connected to Alitalia Airlines and flew on a Boeing 777 from Newark to Rome --- 7 hours flying time and 4290 miles. In Rome we connected to Czech Airlines to Prague early Friday morning - another couple of hours in the air. Surprisingly, even though we travelled on three different airlines with only an hour or so between flights, we missed no connections due to weather, equipment or or reasons. Moreover, when we arrived in Prague our luggage all arrived at the same time. Arriving in Prague about noon it was about 60 degrees and partly cloudy.

Yes, there are more direct ways to fly from Dallas to Prague, but when you are cashing in Frequent Flyer Miles, the options are much more restricted as to when you can travel and the route you go.
