BUY

Starting from 1 August, Ukrzaliznytsya will temporarily change the rules for selling tickets for international railway flights. This step is aimed at combating the abnormal activity of resellers. We tell you what will change for passengers.

How will it be possible to buy a ticket for an international train now?

According to the company's statement, from 1 August to buy tickets for a number of flights from Ukraine to the EU countries will need to be verified through "Diya".

The flights that fall under the new rules are:

• No. 19/20 Kiev - Chelm - Kiev;

• No. 23/24 Kiev - Chelm - Kiev;

• No. 51/52 Kiev - Peremyshl - Kiev;

• No. 89/90 Kiev - Peremyshl - Kiev;

• No. 73/ 74 Kharkiv - Peremyshl - Kharkiv.

Thus, when buying tickets for the above flights, passengers will need to verify through "Diya.Pidpis" in the application and on the website of "Ukrzaliznytsia" for the sale of tickets.

It is worth noting that similar verification is already applied to hype flights from/to Warsaw and Vienna.

It should also be emphasised that the decision is a temporary measure for the peak period of transportations in order to combat the abnormal activity of overbuyers, as now specialists of Ukrzaliznytsia block up to 50 attempts of mass purchase of tickets per day.

It is important to know

When travelling abroad or vice versa - on the territory of Ukraine - you should definitely take care of your safety. If we talk about Ukrainians travelling outside the country, it is important for them to be sure that they can count on medical assistance in the country of stay. In order to get a full guarantee, it is advisable to take out health insurance, which will allow you to count on assistance throughout the European Union.

At the same time, we recommend foreigners who are going to come to Ukraine to take out war risk insurance, which will be a great way to protect yourself from unforeseen situations, especially in the ongoing war in Ukraine. 

We remind you! Czech carrier Gepard Express will launch new trains to Ukraine and Lithuania via Poland. The new routes will cover such cities as Prague, Kharkiv, Vilnius and Berlin.
