Cheap flights to Ukraine
As it emerges from the pack in the post-Soviet era, Ukraine is becoming more and more popular among both cultural travelers and leisure travelers. Its capital of Kiev is where much of the international interest lies, but its Black Sea port city of Odessa is also gaining steam. Finding cheap flights to Ukraine can be tricky, but using Webjet you'll be able to quickly find the cheapest flights on any airline as well as the best days to fly for the absolute lowest price airfare possible. Both Kiev and Odessa are quite popular among people from northern and eastern Europe, so often the cheapest flights will have you transferring in one of those regions. Kiev actually has two airports though only one of them accepts international traffic so your choice will be made for you. Odessa has its own international airport, and often flights there are quite a bit cheaper than into Kiev.
Airfare to Ukraine
Finding cheap flights to Ukraine can be a bit tricky, though as more airlines are serving its major cities it is becoming easier each year. Odessa is served by a few regional low-cost carriers so if you aren't coming from far away then you might be in luck. If you are coming from a great distance you might end up transferring in Kiev, since more large international carriers fly there.

Airports In Ukraine
Kiev, Boryspil International Airport(KBP)
Kiev's international airport is located about 30km east of the city center. Unlike the smaller airport in Odessa, many international carriers fly directly into Kiev, though some of them offer seasonal service only. The best way to get into the city is by taking a marshrutka, which is a minibus that plies a regular route. Taxi cabs are expensive if you don't know the real fare, but buses are also available if you can figure out the system.
Airlines that fly into Kiev Airport
The two largest carriers into Kiev are the two national airlines, Ukraine International Airlines and Aerosvit Airlines. But if you are coming from outside the region you've got plenty of other choices including Air France, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Delta Airlines, El Al Airlines, KLM Airlines, Lufthansa Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, and Wizz Air.
Odessa International Airport(ODS)
Odessa's airport is located only about 7km from the city center. Its runways are said to be occasionally still used by the Ukranian Air Force so no need to worry if they seem to have a presence when you arrive. Buses serve the airport directly on a regular basis so getting into the center on one should be fast and cheap, but of course taxis are available as well.
Airlines that fly into Odessa Airport
Again, the two domestic carriers are the biggest players here so you can look for flights on Ukraine International Airlines or Aerosvit Airlines. Otherwise you can find flights on Austrian Airlines, Czech Airlines, El Al Airlines, or Turkish Airlines.
