Bucharest ~ Brasov ~ Constanta ~ Cluj ~ Galati ~ Iasi ~ Sibiu ~ Suceava ~ Chernivtsi ~ Crimea ~ Kamyanets-Podilsky ~ Kiev ~ Lvov ~ Odessa ~ Sofia ~ Prague ~ Warsaw ~ London ~ Budget Airlines Moldova is a small country neighbouring Romania at the West and Ukraine at the East. Accsessing Moldova from the West may be cheaper and easier than from the East. The Western border of Moldova is more secure and predictable, then most of the eastern one where Moldova is neighbouring Transdniestr. Thus, a traveler who is arriving into Moldova from the side of Transdniestr will not get his Moldovan stamp of entrance and will need to get his registration with the public authorities in Moldova. Another reason is the high cost of flights to Chisinau. It may be twice cheaper to fly to Bucharest and then arrive to Chisinau by train or minibus. Netherveless, travellers are arriving to Moldova same frequently from the west, from the east and by plane, landing at the Chisinau airport.
