You can get to Luhansk from Kiev and back by plane.
There are no other flights to Luhansk from any other Ukrainian city like we used to have before.
The air ticket would cost you about $100 and the taxi ride to Boryspil International Airport from downtown Kiev would cost you about $35 (one hour drive).
As of June 27, 2008, all flights to Luhansk were canceled due to the new technical requirements. All planes of Lugansk Airlines were recognized as outdated and unsafe.
Thank God the flights resumed on August 4, 2008 after the turbojet planes were introduced.
The airport building was under repair for a long time and looks fantastic now.
This is how its exterior looks like now.
There is also a charter flight from Luhansk to Istanbul on Mondays and Thursdays in summer. The price is about $300.
So you can get to Luhansk from the Turkish capital, too. If you should be having a world tour and stay in the Turkish capital, welcome to Luhansk, too!
You only have to inquire about the plane schedule from that airport.

There are lots of bus, trolley bus and streetcar routes in the city.
You can see the route numbers at the stops, but you will not see their exact schedule. The inscription at the bus stop plaque reads that this or that route arrives every five or ten minutes...
You just have to know your route, have patience and wait like us.
Usually they arrive every other minute.
There is a conductor at every streetcar or trolley bus whom you pay the fare (1 UAH).
Our bus stops are often equipped with small shops, so you can do some shopping while you wait...

There are so many cabs around the city now.
This one is the latest. They have all new cars: Mercedes, VW, Audi and arrive very quickly.
If you value the speed and convenience, this taxi must be for you.
They also charge a bit more:
$4 or $5 around the city.
They also have mobile phone numbers:
+38 050 605 91 81
+38 067 401 10 36
