Flight Transfers in Oodessa
Hi,
Me and a couple of friends are travelling to the UEFA Champions League final in Kyiv via Odessa. We fly on 25th May in to Odessa from Istanbul on TK8818 / UIA718 arriving at 15.45. We have an onward flight to Kyiv with Motorsich (flight M9251) departing at 17.50. The two flights are on separate tickets/itineraries; we will try to check in online for the domestic flight in advance, but not sure we will be able to as we will be in various airports.
How easy will the transfer from an international arrival to a domestic departure be? Do we need to exit through immigration, check in & re-enter, and will we have enough time?
Thanks

The last time I traveled to ODS (admittedly though, a while ago) - it was fast and an entire Czech Airlines airbus process relatively fast. If your flight is one time, you will make it with plenty of time to spare.
Good luck at the final! I assume you support the right team that night being British
fingers crossed! (both for the match and flying the ancient Antonov plane Motorsich uses on that route )

As said, it's a small airport so your flight is likely the only international flight arriving at that time of the day.

Online check-in for M9 flights departing KBP and ODS is temporarily unavailable. But do try it 23 hours before your flight as things may change. It is a tight connection but as others have said ODS is a small airport and you should clear immigration/customs quickly. Provided that the PS flight is on time I believe you will make the connection.
