I need to travel the following routing

19/12 KBP-LHR
30/12 LHR-LED
03/01 LED-KBP

I also have to book KBP-LGW/LHR 28/1
LGW/LHR-KBP 31/1. This is for V-Flyer bash.

Prices quoted range from £660 to $2800/pax
Econ class only, no changes

With all the knowledge out there where can I get the best prices using sites/tools etc.

any help would be appreciated

If you go direct, it's bringing up £1594.10 on BA [:0] Travelocity are starting at £1243.40 (not checked whether direct or not)

Can't provide any additional prices than Michael and believing you work in aviation feel daft adding this but... alternate routings to price up

Lufthansa - KBP - MUC - LHR
KLM/Ukraine International - KBP - AMS - LHR

and another 2 pages showing on OAG ;)

Michael/Decker,

thanks for the info. I am still trying all perms that are reasonable but still seem to get crazy prices. I can get KBP-LHR-LED for £650 per pax through expedia with BA, which I though was not bad, but using BA online as you said is quoting £1800 each Michael[:0]I think i can get LED-KBP with Ukraine Int cheaper by booking seperately. I'll let you know how I get on.

I will be at the party regardless:D

Iain

ps, no wonder BA's profits have doubled with these quotes[:(!]

Ok, so it broke my heart and cashed in 50K miles for myself and Mrs F.
Don't you just hate these broken segment routings, an excuse for airlines to rip you off[:(!]. Also was not able to book this routing online and had to pay the £15 offline fee. Still better than the $5800 they were asking for. BA , worlds favorite airline, my arse
[:(!]

Thanx Michael and Decker for help, I could have went diff routing via Moscow etc but it was like going back 2 steps to go forward one
