Getting TO/AROUND: South Airlines - this is the name of Odessa airlines.
One day my American friend and I were in a hurry and took a plane to Kiev ($85).
We had to wait at the booking-office before we got a seat. The flight turned out to be very popular and the plane, Antonov-24 was full of people.
It took the plane one hour and twenty minutes to get to Boryspil International aiport.
There are also planes to Donetsk and to some other Ukrainian cities from Odessa, to say nothing of the foreign flights.
The office of South Airlines is at: 85 Kanatnaya (Rope) Street in Odessa.

Getting TO/AROUND: This seems to be the motto of Odessa taxi drivers.
There are a lot of taxi stands and you can catch a taxi in any street or at any bus stop.
But here are some useful phone numbers for you just in case:

Once when I was in Odessa last we had to pay $10 for a half an hour ride downtown. The prices depend on what you agree upon. Don’t forget to ask the taxi driver what you have to pay for the ride before you depart.
It is also good just to show him a visiting card of the place you are going to if you have one.
