One fallback option is to get to Vladikavkaz first and then switch to a car or bus there. Another is to head to the nearest airport well in advance, so you do not get stuck because of disruptions such as missile alerts.

At Didube, private car drivers and minivans quote prices starting from 5,000. If you are using this route to catch a flight, the advice is to allow a very large time buffer: the border may be operating normally, but everything depends on whether the minivan departs on time.
