 Re: trip to Czernowitz
Keep in mind that Aerosvit sometimes cancels the flights from Kiev. Last
April there no flights and I went by Austrian via Vienna to Lvov and from
there a rented car with a driver, arranged by Zoya Danilowicz. It takes 5
hours. One can also fly from NY to Kiev by Aerosvit and I think that in this
case the airline cares for the transfer of the luggage, but I am not sure
and one has to inquire at their office in New York.
