The following day I have mostly a chill day and extend my booking at the hostel
I head to the airport anyway.
My flight was supposed to be at 9:25PM and it is eventually cancelled. I am waiting in the line with people for over 4 hours until after midnight.
Easyjet only say they can put me on another Easyjet flight later in the week, which means I would have to finance multiple days in Prague alone. It is very stressful and I have broken one of my own travel rules booking a late flight back.
I go around the hotels close to airport but unfortunately due to the weather they are all booked up
I end up going back to central Prague, I spend the night in Prague.
On the 6th I take the Flixbus back to Berlin, changing in Dresden and then arriving back in Berlin on the evening of the 6th.
On the plus side my view from the Flixbus is gorgeous!

I then sweet talk them at the airport into getting onto an earlier flight and spend the night in Amsterdam staying at an ibis close to the airport. I would really recommend ibis for affordable travel. Below is the bus timetable to get from the ibis to the airport.
I then land back in Edinburgh on Tuesday 7th January 2025, 2 days later than planned.
I will film a video on how this was a very stressful experience and how I don't think Easyjet handled the situation well.
Easyjet did eventually refund me the cost of the flight I was supposed to take and some expenses after I filled out their expenses form online to be fair. However at the time it was a very stressful situation to be in at the time alone as a single woman in a city late at night when you don't speak the language!
That's a wrap on my trip to Christmas trip to Berlin and Prague
Next I will be writing about my European adventure where I went to three countries over 8 nights to celebrate my 34th birthday!
