Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/18/2008 3:36:42 PM   There are a lot of variables here. Do you know precisely when you are going home? Or is it iffy? Remember - Ukraine (especially Kyiv) is not the boondocks anymore. Not a lot of unscheduled airline flights or bush pilots. Delta flies regularly scheduled flights from JFK tO Kyiv, nonstop. Round trip tickets now cost around $800 for that trip. Use the popular travel search engines like Orbitz and Travelocity. Definitely less expensive to get the flight you want (if you know when) as part of a round trip package than to try to book one way at some later date, Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/18/2008 7:30:07 PM   Tickets are generally more expensive out of Ukraine because there is not the same 'cut throat' competition as there is in the west. And whilst it is not mandatory it is recommended that when entering Ukraine one holds a return ticket.

Kirkland Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/22/2008 5:38:30 PM   I'd say the risk outweighs the cost saving.....(if there is any saving) Meaning you might not be able to get back home when you want. You could buy a single ticket back out for double the cost you paid to get in. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/22/2008 9:09:42 PM   When I got stranded in Kyiv (long story told elsewhere in forum) before LOT agreed to provide a very cheap "exchange" for my expired tickets (which still surprises me) I spent A LOT of time on the internet at a bar in Borispol Airport, using the popular search engines. I DID find cheap tickets out - but the days were very inconvenient and all required paper tickets - to be furnished by the travel agent located in Las Vegas (Travelocity). Fortunately I did not have to use that option - but I have no clue as to how I would have gotten the paper tickets delivered to me.

One thing, at that time, I learnt is that Aerosvit can have some reasonably priced one-way tickets to at least some of their European destinations so the trick, if stranded, might be to get oneself out of Ukraine to a more recognised international airport and then try getting home from that other airport. peteb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/25/2008 9:57:08 PM   i live in the UK and need to fly to kiev next week, but am not exactly sure how long i will be there, to see this girl called olya. should i buy a return ticket then and make a guess at when i will want to return? also, anyone know of the best airline, etc, for my trip. as a guess i want to stay there for around a month or so initially. thanks for any advice. /pete Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/26/2008 2:46:26 PM   pete, www.swiss.com have some reasonable prices from Heathrow, Brum & Manchester and the joy with Swiss is that you can buy a fixed date outward flight and a flexible return. Swiss codeshare with Ukraine International between Zurich & Kiev, Swiss are good but UIA are even better for level of cabin service. colin Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/26/2008 5:31:39 PM   estonian air fly to the ukraine as well kiwinorth Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/26/2008 5:54:13 PM   from what digging i have dune about this myself, it seems if you pay a bit more for the return ticket or seat as in you don't buy the cheap seats on any particular airline it makes your ticket more flexible without extra major cost added to it for moving departure ahead or later. but stress this fact with travel agent about flexibility so they understand your need. that's interesting Pete from what i understand i have to have a return ticket. funny enough i have the flight via Zurich to Moscow flying Swiss next week, for its flexibility. peteb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/26/2008 7:47:58 PM   cheers for the info martin and kiwinorth! i appreciate your quick replies! i really really can't wait to see olya, after 10 months of chatting to her on the phone! Land of oz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/26/2008 9:27:03 PM   On the immigration form you have to fill out to enter Ukraine, box number 10 on the departure side asks "Flight (Registration Vehicle) No." So you have to put your flight number for the plane you are leaving on. I screwed up this last time and put my arrival flight number on both sides and went right through and I did not even realize it until I read this thread and remembered in the past I had to enter my departure flight number somewhere. I always take a couple extra immigration and customs forms home so next time I can have them filled out before I get to the airport and get in line faster. Of course the airplane crew gives the immigration form to you before you land but the customs are not available until you get to the airport. Then I just pick up another or two make sure the form has not changed and get in line. peteb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/27/2008 10:34:45 AM   just to double check... i presume i don't need to fill out any other forms or anything to be allowed in to ukraine? (apart from my passport of course!) i should have really checked this already! devilmaycare Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/27/2008 1:06:54 PM   peteb when are you in kiev - I might be there from may 3rd to may 5th. Buy a return ticket for a guesstimate return date, it will only cost you 40-odd pounds to change the date of the return flight and you can usually do it at fairly short notice, but check with the airline. devilmaycare Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/27/2008 1:09:01 PM   peteb, hi again no you don't need a visa or anything so don't panic :-), you will however need to know the address you are staying at so that you can fill out a landing card. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/27/2008 2:38:37 PM   bass, The majority, indeed literally all, of the cheapest tickets are absolutely non changeable. Land of oz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/27/2008 4:17:13 PM   Pete you will need to fill the immigration form out before going through passport control. After passport control there will be custom declaration forms on tables and you will need to fill one of them out before going through customs. immigration forms have both English and Russian on them. Customs forms are either English or Russian (there should be a pile of each). I have uploaded a copy of the customs form, the immigration form, a bus ticket, and train tickets to http://www.4shared.com/dir/6767186/5027a712/ukraine.html if you want to look at the questions or download so you can have your answers ready. I have translated train and bus ticket so you can print and take a copy with you to be able to read if you ride one of them. beemer18 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/27/2008 4:45:37 PM   Actually OZ, on immigration form, it asks to fill out left side completetly and 1-6 on right side. I have been asked several times in customs about where I am staying, so fill that in, although at times I just tell them some company name and I don't know address and taxi knows where apt to take me to( it is last minute travel!! :)) ) I don't even bother to fill in last part on right side of form when leaving, never been asked and never thought about it. devilmaycare Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/27/2008 4:55:41 PM   Martin thats not my experience, I've changed the return date on my Ukraine Airways economy flight with just 24 hours notice. AFAIK most economy return deals allow changes of the return flight (only) for a fee. Of course you have to phone the airline itself and not the broker (e.g. ebookers). Infact it can be worth using say ebookers to find the flights then look for the same flight direct on the airlines website as most airlines are more flexable on flight booked direct.
