I have been pricing flights from Casper WY to Moscow in June so far I have received quotes ranging from $862.00 and up. The 862.00 ticket appears to have been vapor. The cheapest ticket I could book was 880.00 through tripmakers. The trip I just returned from was 650.00 plus taxes Casper to Moscow. I bought this through priceline. I took my lowest price quote and subtracted 75.00. This is the only time Priceline worked for me.

Hi, Bids start at 1$ and go from there on SKYAUCTION.COM. You can get a trip or ticket anywhere in the world and there is no monimum bid. I once got a ticket to London for 198.00 total roundtrip from Houston.

Me and one other guy here just got tickets for about $775 out the door round trip to the Ukraine in May. You should be able to find a good price around this in April. I use a local travel agent the other guy used orbitz.com or something like this.... Good luck, Title: Thats....

...a suck deal. Best to use a consolidator like Glavs Travel in NYC, you'll do better. When I had to pay, thats who I used. Talk to Neli. lol, I last paid about $25, round trip.

Hey now, Glad to see others have had the same experience. I have been getting tickets via Neli for the past two years, going from DC non-stop to Moscow. Just bought one today for my mother-in-law, who is coming to visit next month. She is staying more than 30 days, so the price is higher, but the less than one-month price right now is $457.50. Of course, now you have to tell her that both Steve and LP sent you...

Why did you even pay $25 if you could fly for free?? :) Let's be fair than.... lol Title: Thats a baited.... Post by: LP on February 20, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Thats...., posted by RW on Feb 20, 2002
...question. You know it isn't completely free. There are some fees and taxes to be paid. I'm sure you must know this, so why the typical wise ass question? Title: Re: Thats.... Post by: rojak on February 20, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Thats...., posted by LP on Feb 20, 2002
Gosh! Surely you don't mean $25! If so, then I certainly got ripped big! Perhaps you meant $425?$525? $625? Title: No rojack.... Post by: LP on February 20, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Thats...., posted by rojak on Feb 20, 2002
...you didn't get ripped. And yes, I meant $25. Unfortunately you don't have access to these arrangements, they are reserved for those employed in the airline, aviation, and travel industries. Those who drive the bus (as well as others who work in the industry and their families) are allowed these privledges. Sorry, but all the other self loading cargo has to pony up the best fare they can find. Title: Re: No rojack....

A guy I met in Kiev Paul (Friend of Max) paid 200AUD about 100USD to Kiev from Australia return. He works as a steward.. well did work,, his airline is in a bit of a bother financially at present...

...Whats wrong with that? Doesn't your company's customers pay for your salary and benefits? Beleive me, It isn't all fun and games, especially these days. Between the Gum'mint and the loonies (is there a difference?), it can be a real chore. Title: LP, wanna adopt me?......

So far Glavs is the best with Luftansa for 580 plus tax and visa (125). Panorama is 616 plus tax and visa (120) on Austrian. Micheles Travel is $599 plus tax and visa (120) on Air France? I will look for a few more days before I commit. Title: Glavs will.... Post by: LP on February 20, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Thats...., posted by Bobby Orr on Feb 20, 2002
..also handle all the visa details. Send it the visa application and the total due and you'll get your visa back with the tickets. Quick and painless. Neli is a good gal and specializes in FSU travel. They are located in the Empire State Building, search on the web for info.

So far I am getting around $600 plus tax and visa from JFK. It should be no more than $600 including tax and visa. Title: Flight Prices to SVO Post by: BubbaGump on February 21, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Re: Flight Prices, posted by hockeybrain on Feb 20, 2002
Pricing 1 month in advance from JFK on a weekend, the cheapest I saw was Aeroflot for $560, next was Air France at ~$730, and 3rd was Delta at $911. Surprisingly Delata was only $999 from my city, so only $88 more dollars for the extra flight.

I guess I should but really he will only pay $75 less after taxes etc. But yes it is a great price what kind of layovers and stops etc. I am also going in May that could be a difference...

Your price sounds ok considering it is in May and also includes taxes and visa. |
