Edmonton is so full of Ukrainians that you should have no trouble finding a local travel agent who knows the best way to get to Ukraine. If you can't find a Ukraine specialist, try these guys: http://www.travelcuts.com/en/01%20Ho...ces.asp?Area=5 There are no international flights from Leduc to Ukraine, so presume will have to connect via Calgary /YYC? Thanks for any advice. As far as I know, there are no nonstop flights from *any* Canadian airport to Ukraine. There are nonstop charter flights from Edmonton to London, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. You shouldn't have trouble findinf flights from any of those places to Ukraine. Or you could fly on something like Air Canada/Alitalia Edmonton - Toronto - Milan - Kiev. Or Maybe KLM Edmonton - Minneapolis - Amsterdam - Kiev. So many possibilities. A good place to find out who flies where is he http://matrix.itasoftware.com Go to a decent travel agent to get the best routes and prices. You shouldn't have trouble finding an agent in Edmonchuk who's experienced in how to get to Ukraine. Or try these guys, I've used them to get cheap tickets from Canada to Central Europe befo http://www.travelcuts.com/en/01%20Ho...ces.asp?Area=5 Don't try and book your flights online unless you want to get ripped off. -- K. |

Cheap Tickets YEG to Ukraine?
There seems to be a virulent outbreak of acronymia on this newsgroup.
This is read worldwide and especially all over North America where using the airport code means nothing to most people - is it that much more effort to type in the full name at least once? |

Perhaps the OP did it on purpose, so as to exclude people who find airport codes meaningless. After all, most people in that category probably don't know the first thing about finding cheap airfare, anyway. Richard |

Cheap Tickets YEG to Ukraine?
Aerosvit is only US$529 return,[less than C$614] from Toronto,
but travel agents asking more than double from Edmonchuk!! Must be a ripoff, to discourage international travel?

If having to add sector fare to Toronto return, then fare DOUBLES, making trip unacceptably expensive. Does Aerosvit have special discount fare for those from western Canada? Thanks.

Cheapest Air Canada fare I can see is $C429.44 roundtrip for
Edmonton-Toronto, so the through fare should not be more than that much over the Toronto-Kiev fare. Robin Johnson |

When do you want to go?
WestJet can get you from YEG to YYZ in May/June for $316 return, plus taxes. Then you can get the Aerosvit flight from there. I went to matrix.itasoftware.com and got a published fare of less than $1,100 for Air Canada/Alitalia Edmonton - Toronto - Milan - Kiev. A discount travel agent should be able to undercut that. But the price you get all depends on when you want to go. Did you try Travel Cuts? If they sell Aerosvit tickets thery should also be able to add on the Edmonton-Toronto flight for much less than booking it as a separate flight. K. |

Cheap Tickets YEG to Ukraine?
Actually, travel agents in YEG are quoting fares starting at $1350 to
Kiev!! Which is why so many Ukrainians from Alberta will not pay this gouging fare to go to Ukraine!! If Aerosvit will not arrange for a more reasonable fare from Calgary or Edmonton, to Kiev, then people will go to Germany or Czech Republic instead, for half the cost!!

Robin Johnson Don't forget to add on the $300 Canadian air tax, plus departure taxes at all airports,etc... |

Cheap Tickets YEG to Ukraine?
Many thanks for the useful tip.
The price you mention is a quarter of what some local people have quoted me, so I guess they are pocketing the difference. Now, all I need is a realistally priced ticket from western Canada. The damn Canadian government is supporting ridiculously high price fixing, to discourage Canadians from travelling abroad!!
