(There is one train in the morning and the one above at night)

Answer 2

Assuming you mean Frankfurt airport, your best bet is the night train at 10:19 pm from the Frankfurt Sud station to Prague. It's a direct train requiring no other connections and arrives in Prague at the Holesovice station at 8:18 the next morning. The normal price is 100.80 euro, but there are discount tickets at 29 euro if there are tickets left at the special price when you want to go.

There are trains to Prague from the airport station, but the most convenient ones are too early for you - one at 2:11 pm with only one connection in Dresden. You don't really have much chance of making this. While overseas planes in the morning are sometimes early, it's very unlikely in the afternoon. At 2:37 pm, there is a train with connections in Nürnberg Hbf and Schwandorf that arrives at the Smichov station in Prague where you can catch the metro to your final destination in Prague. This is also unlikely if your scheduled arrival is at 2 pm. The next train is at 4:37 pm, but it takes 13 hours with 5 train changes to get to Prague.

I would catch the train from the airport to the Hauptbahnhof in Frankfurt and spend a little time in the city before heading to Frankfurt Sud on the Sbahn for the night train.
