I posted a request for vacation ideas a couple of weeks ago and got some good suggestions regarding potential vacation destinations with my Ukrainian girlfriend. I ended up deciding on the Dominican Republic.
The fares that I've been seeing from Kiev or Moscow to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic have been in the $1,350 range for February 2004 travel.
I had heard that it was possible to save money by purchasing the ticket through a Russian or Ukrainian travel agency. She went to one, and they were giving her the same price that I found on the Internet.
Does anyone know of an agency over there that could offer a substantial discount on the ticket? Is it even possible to get a major discount by purchasing the ticket over there?
Thanks!
