Delta Fares

Are Ukrainian airlines ok?

I'm considering a vacation to Ukraine, and thinking it might be nice to try one of their carriers, Aerosvit or Air Ukraine. But, I'm hearing rumbles that the service is rude and the maintenance is questionable. Both of these are deal-killers. Am I better off with Delta? Why visit Ukraine? Either to explore my roots, or because I have a Serious crush on Yulia Timoshenko...and I'm not telling which is the bigger reason.

1. Well the service is not bad, but trust me, you'll be much safer with Northwestern or Southwestern. Don't fly Delta. Their service is crap. May I ask you what in the world attracted you to Ukraine? Seriously? She kind of screwed up Ukraine. But it's great that you want to explore your roots. Good luck.
2. Both airlines are safe to fly. I personally avoid Aeroflot and I prefer Ukrainian International Airlines. The service is good, and the planes are almost always Boeing or McD-Douglas. Even if you pick an American airline you will have a good chance of flying into Kyiv on a partner airline. (Northwest partners with KLM, who partners with Ukrainian International - all Skyteam airlines, just like Delta - Even a Delta flight often uses Aeroflot for the transatlantic flight from NY to Kyiv.) The only other comment I will make is that you will get much better food, drinks, and service on a Ukrainian or European airline than an American one. If you don't want to fly Aerosvit or UIA, fly an airline like Lufthansa.
