Hi all, first time here and need a little advise.
I'm thinking of going to see a girl in Severodonetsk, Im talking to her through CONFIDENTIAL CONNECTIONS (CC), ( if you know anything about them, please let me know).
CC used a hotel in Karkov but don't fancy that, I'd rather make my own arrangemnets.
Getting to Kiev seems easy enough, but how would I get to Severodonetsk from there and whats the best and safest form of transport. Please bear in mind Ive never been to the Ukraine and I am a cabby so I know people and how they tick.
Any advise would be very cool.
To answer any questions about Confidential Connections go to www.google.com and search for their name followed by the word scam, I haven't done this so I don't know the result. Likewise, do a google search for your lady, if her hame is Elena Bloggski then search for that name and also search for 'Elena Severodonetsk scam'.
How to get there, where are you coming from?
On the Austrian Airlines network there are daily direct flights from Vienna to Kharkiv and Dnepropetrovsk, with worldwide connections to Vienna, check you local Austrian Airlines website.
Also check http://www.ukrainefare.com/internal-flights.php for domestic flight schedules and prices to Lugansk and Donetsk from Kiev remembering that your international flight will arrive at Kiev Borispol. Also try www.bti.kiev.ua , I used them when I was in Kiev, very good for cheap domestic tickets.
Donbass Aero also operate some internationals from/to Donetsk but difficult to book.
Taxi's, search on google and there are taxi companies out there, negotiate the price beforehand.
Hi Martin-UK, ta for the info, did some searches and only found a couple of modelling photo's that look similair to her but not sure if they are or not, think not. Done scams searches and found nothing so far.
Jpj,
Suggest you go with Ukraine International Airlines from Gatwick, it will be possible to get a thru ticket to Donetsk but will involve an overnight in Borispol airport on the way back, the airport hotel is something like GBP20 per night.
If you go with Ukraine International then go to their website and apply for a 'Panorama Club' application form before you go. You start collecting points but you will get complimentary airport business class lounges ..... free alcohol, coffee and some P&Q away from the screaming kids.
Else, Austrian Airlines from Heathrow, via Vienna, to Kharkiv, trouble is the flight departs from LHR at 0630 in the morning.
You can get there (Donetsk) and back in a day, without an overnight in Borispol, on a combination of British Airways & Aerosvit from Heathrow but the price is normally higher.
Check out www.kelkoo.co.uk then 'flights' for various prices.
