Ground transport to Uman, Ukraine
Ukrainian airspace is closed — fly to a neighboring country and continue by ground. In 5786 Romania (Iasi) was the primary charter gateway and Poland secondary; the Moldova/Chisinau route has been restricted since 2024 — verify it's running before booking through Chisinau. Times shown are driving only, measured route by route through each gateway's border crossing. They do not include the crossing itself — the queue cannot be measured, runs far longer at peak, and you need to allow for it on top. Taxi prices are per vehicle for 3–4 passengers, from the operator's own 5787 season price list, valid 06.09.2026–15.09.2026. Prague is the one exception: it is not on the 5787 flyer, so its prices are still last season's. Verify before booking.
