Does anybody know the best way to go about this? My girl/friend has told me she can arrange everything through a travel agent in Kiev but I don’t know if this is the best option? Also would I be able to arrange a trip like this from a travel agency here in the states?

You should be able to organise it from you local travel agent, if you are European then www.opodo.com is a good site, if you are N. American then they have their own sites but also try www.flyuia.com (Ukraine International Airlines) and www.aerosvit.ua/eng.html (Aerosvit). If she is offering to organise it then that involves you sending money ..... alwaysc a very risky affair!

Every travel agent in Kiev has deals to Egypt as it is one of the few close places that Ukrainians can travel without much hassle. As you can buy the visas on entry to Egypt you can book the travel online, from Kiev or from anywhere! ben2006 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/3/2008 6:26:20 AM   Gtraveler, she is probably correct. I have seen lots of package deals advertised in Moldova for Egypt. This includes flight/hotel/transfers. You could arrange it from the states but you won't get the same deal as a package deal. You would have to book hotel and flights independently. Ask her to inquire about the cost and compare that with what you could book online. Personally I would book it myself so I know what I was getting. Gtraveler Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/3/2008 11:26:04 AM   Martin_FFC I am from USA, Yes I think it would be best to book trip myself from local agent but would I be able to arrange everything for her with my agent even though she is Ukrainian? Yes the thought of sending a large amount of money is not a good Idea. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/3/2008 12:40:09 PM   Gtraveller, It's the same as if you book yourself a ticket online, just her name instead of yours. If you can't organise an e-ticket and the ticket is posted to you then all you have to do is DHL it to her. Booking a hotel likewise, she might need confirmed accommodation to enter Egypt so just book it in her name and send her the information by email.

There is some expense to getting money to her but why try to complicate things if you are serious about this lady. Gtraveler Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/3/2008 3:30:23 PM   Land of oz But wouldn't it be the correct thing to do if I can find lower rates if I book the vacation with my travel agent, but you could be right why complicate things just to save a few bucks. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/3/2008 4:16:00 PM   Why make things difficult indeed, Simply go online, book it, pay by plastic, job done! ben2006 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/3/2008 4:43:10 PM   Gtraveler, I doubt you could get it cheaper, in fact i think you could pay twice as much if you book from the US. At least have a look so you have an idea of the price. Land of oz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/3/2008 5:11:11 PM   I am sure Martin is more familiar with this than I am but if it is FSU transportation my experience has been that a copy of the passport of the traveling person is necessary to book it. And DHL from the United States will cost as well as having the tickets sent to you in the first place so if hard tickets are necessary there will more than likely be 50 to 100 dollars Us spent just to get tickets in her hand. I am sure that you are already trying to keep this as seamless as possible for her. It is difficult not to want to shave the cost as much as possible but to make the traveling and booking experience pleasant for her has a value also. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/3/2008 10:10:25 PM   Never heard of a passport being required to buy a ticket, only when one comes to use the ticket. Now putting myself in this position we would need to coordinate flight times, to arrive in Egypt as close to each other as reasonable. Because of my background in air travel I would take charge, check her possible flight times then try to find a similar schedule for myself but both buttons would need to be clicked simutaneously to ensure getting the seats, no good one person booking, taking a day or so to confirm it to the other person, for the other person to then find that all his possible flights have sold out for that day. In this day and age it only takes one person, with internet, to book a holiday, no agencies, and with too many fingers in the pie and it's more likely to all go horribly wrong. And with the exception of FSU internal flights generally speaking we can get better international flight prices than they can. Talking as a European the FSU doesn't have Kelkoo, Ebookers, Lastminute, Opodo etc. etc. etc., they still do it the old fashioned way whereas a travel agent will attempt to sell the flights that they make the most commission on, airlines offer travel agents special incentives for 'hard selling'. And guys, if you go to a travel agency website such as Ebookers or whatever the US, or wherever, equivalent is and once you've decided upon the flight for you then, before booking, go direct to that airline's website and you'll probably get it cheaper.
