... in response to Aerosvit direct flights to Kiev, posted by Philb on Jul 7, 2003My wife and son took this flight on June 22nd, and everything went well. It is now possible to connect thru on Aerosvit on to Simferopol, and return without spending a night in Kiev, at least on a Sunday departure and Tuesday return. She did mention that customs at Borispol was very slow, and her bags were thoroughly searched. Our travel agent, an Eastern European specialist in NYC, thought this was because she was a returning Ukrainian woman. She did not have a problem last summer. They will be returning next week, and I can't wait!
Good luck on your trip,
Dan D.
