Tips before you fly

• The train from Kyiv arrives in Iași late in the evening, so plan a night in the city before a morning flight. Bus 50 to the airport runs all night.
• On Ryanair, Ukrainian passengers must complete the document check online in the myRyanair app. If that fails, arrive at least 2 hours early for a desk check. Ryanair boarding passes are now digital only.
• Wizz Air check-in opens 2 hours and closes 40 minutes before departure.
• Romania’s border uses the EU Entry/Exit System, which takes fingerprints and a photo, so allow extra time.
