Re: [Cz-L] Travel Options to Chernivtsi...

 Travel via Kiev is usually cheaper (larger market, more airlines).
 From Kiev there is a flight to Chernovtsy (~$120 RT, Aerosvit
Airlines) on a small Soviet-era turboprop plane (I'm not sure if I
would recommend it). Alternatively, there is a fairly comfortable
train from Kiev to Chernovtsy, but it takes 15 hours (price is $40 RT
in a sleeping compartment - "kupe", linen included). This train (#59,
Kiev-Sofia) departs from Kiev at 3:40 pm, arrives to Chernovtsy at
6:20 am).

 There is a limited number of flights to Lviv (via Frankfurt, Vienna,
Warsaw and Kiev). From Lviv one can take a train #76, Lviv-Chernovtsy,
which departs at 10:46 pm, arrives at 3:50 am, and costs $20 RT for a
sleeping compartment seat.

 There are also buses from Kiev and Lvov, don't know if it is a good
option. Another possibility is to arrange for a car with a driver,
which will come from Chernovtsy to either Kiev or Lvov airport to pick
you up and drive back to Chernovtsy. I don't know what would be the
current price for this, but I think it's not exorbitant.
