When there are no queues at the border: the calmest dates in December.

According to ТСН: Before the winter holidays, the passenger traffic at the border increases, but there are days when crossing the border can be done much faster.

When is the best time to travel

On the actual holiday days, the passenger traffic, on the contrary, sharply decreases. The least people at the border are expected on:

• December 25 (Christmas)

• January 1 (New Year)

However, December 24 and 31 traditionally remain some of the busiest days.

"These are the days when people try to be home, not on the road," explained Demchenko.

An important tip from border guards is to check the congestion of crossing points before the trip. Often neighboring points have a significant difference in queues, and changing routes can save a few hours.

It has also been noted that the statements of the British publication about the mass exit of men ages 18 to 22 from Ukraine do not reflect the real situation. It speaks of about 100,000 individuals who allegedly left the country in the last two months.

Thus, for those planning trips during the holidays, it is important to consider these recommendations. When choosing travel dates, attention should be paid to traditional peak loads and information about crossing options. This will help reduce waiting time and make the journey more comfortable.
