The lowest Price Quote as of today: $1600.00 RT, to Ukraine.

My fiance is also planning a trip to Kiev at the end of August. We've been looking at Kayak.com and found tickets for JFK-KBP for $1000-$1300. Check out for your airports of choice. They usually have better fares. Best of luck!

I hate to say it, but $1600 is a very good price for round-trip to Kiev from the Midwest. I'm flying over in 10 days to bring my girl back with me, and the ticket prices have doubled since my last trip in May...

I'm flying AeroSvit from JFK to Kiev. They have a deal with JetBlue, if you take a cheap JetBlue flight from your airport to JFK, they will refund you $100, which usually makes the JetBlue connection practically free. But it's still costing me $1500...

I just checked Expedia.com, tickets starting from $1451 FWA to KBP, with one stop. Also try Cheaptickets.com. I flew from LAX to KIEV in Jun for $1200, Had my wife's interview one day after I arrived, Three days later had her visa in hand.

Actually, that sounds about right. You might be able to save a few dollars, but if that includes your short commuter flight in addition of flying to KBP you are doing pretty good. My stepson is now in Kyiv and it cost us $1,777 which we bought in February. That is of course from San Francisco to Kyiv.

We also had a three hour drive to San Francisco to factor in. At least he's building frequent flyer miles, assuming those will still be around in the future.

If you leave a few day later and come back in the beginning of Sep you should be able to save a few hundred dollars, flights go down in September

bite the bullet and come back on the second of Sept. Priceline had flights at 1,063 RT and Luftansa flies RT at 1,313 (all out of Chicago) go to Kyak.com since they canvass many sites to come up with the best pricing. Out of Detroit I saw the RT price at $1,100

I am leaving for Kiev on August 1 and coming back on August 17, flying with Aerosvit from NY, and my RT ticket is $1240. But again, this is from New York...

[nyhazmat 2]

Try Airgorilla.com, I found one flight out on the 25th and back on the 1st for $1083.93 + $120.52 (taxes) $1204.45 total. Make sure you check the taxes. Some of the cheaper fares have higher taxes due to stops and the higher initial fare ends up being less expensive. Good luck, we are going next week.

[Nanusia & Lukaszek 0]

Yikes, those prices you guys are quoting are outrageous!

Did you try amta.com? I've always booked my international flights through them (last 5-6 yrs) and saved a couple hundred versus the typical expedia, cheapair, etc.

If you leave end of August, and return first week of Sept, the return date is what is going to save you $$.

I found a flight for $842.88 out of Chicago ORD, here's the details.

Just bought my ticket for $800.00, tax included! I called NWA.com and the support representative found this great price for me. I leave Friday for my wife's interview that will take place on the 28th!

For our interview, August 7 I flew round trip from JFK on Air France for $1128 direct from their website. They DID lose my baggage going AND coming though! Take your documents on the plane with you and never let them out of your sight! I can recommend a very low priced parking option for JFK if you go that route. Of the airports you list I would expect ORD to be the cheapest.
