Flowers for visit

Will Ukrainian customs allow you to bring in flowers? How have you guys handled this? is there a florist in the KBP airport?

I went in Aug. and Nov. to meet my lady, at KBP there is no flower stand, and you CAN'T bring them into Ukraine.
The best option, but it will cost you is do the VIP service, then have the service you book with bring the flowers to you. When you go through the double doors you will have flowers in hand for your lady, I did this in Aug., the VIP service really was not needed, but if you want to give her flowers this will be the only way.

Thanks

If I remember correctly you should not bring in live plants (that includes flowers).  If I remember correctly Borysipol does have a stand that sells flowers amongst other things.  When you clear customs your girl might be right there before you can get to the store - so........I am at a loss on what to advise you to do.  Perhaps you should meet / greet her and then the first chance you get (assuming things are right) go to the closest flower stand and purchase her an odd number of roses.
