The Amsterdam to Kiev leg is the killer: I've seen it anywhere from $300 to $900 plus on the net.  Getting a good price to Amsterdam is easy.

A question for our resident travel agents: are you able to get good prices on the Amsterdam (or other european city) to Kiev that I / we would be able to get searching the net?

Like Bill, I often can get a wonderfull price to western europe, but the final leg into Kiev is ridiculous: up to $900 and often with a change of planes.

You are absolutely right; getting to Western Europe is very easy; getting to Kiev is another matter.
We deal with consolidators; these are whoesalers who buy block of seats on major airlines, and then sell them through travel agents; the best consolidators don't sell to public directly. These are not published fares and you will never find them on the internet.
I can't understand why would anyone want to buy published fares from the internet, unless they don't know anything about consolidator fares.

You should add taxes on top of this; I can get you there cheaper. Drop me a note.
