Winter is just around the corner which means you still have time to book a trip to Georgia to discover its’ truly astonishing sights. November is perfect for hiking and exploring mountain regions. If you want to explore old cathedrals and vineyards – it’s best to go in spring while the weather is not too hot. To get to Georgia, you can catch a plane using the services of Ukrainian International Airlines (UIA).

That’s why we have partnered with Ukrainian International Airlines (UIA) to give you the most exceptional experience ever. UIA gives you a great opportunity to also explore Ukraine on the way to Georgia.

Flights from New York to Kiev is one of the popular destinations among customers of Ukraine International Airlines. Taking a flight PS 232 from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York with UIA, you arrive at Kiev Boryspil International Airport in less than 9 hours.

Although tickets to Kiev from New York can be bought at an affordable price, you can still save some more costs when making a reservation in advance. Thus, you can easily find New York Kiev cheap flights and have more money for your stay in Kiev or extend your budget for return tickets on PS 231 flight.

Kiev is not only a political, financial and cultural center of Ukraine. It is also one of the most visited cities among tourists from different countries. The greatest attractions of Kiev are perhaps its cathedrals and churches. The Holy Dormition Kiev-Caves Lavra, St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery, and Saint Sophia’s Cathedral are just some of “must-see” points in the city.

Kiev parks are also fascinating and will impress any tourist, but obviously they are most beautiful in spring and summer. Old streets of the city center are charming in any season of the year, and it is a real pleasure to walk from The Botanic Garden or the Golden Gate way across the Khreschatyk street, Maidan Nezalezhnosti, Andriivski Uzviz and down to Podil to see Dnipro river.

Ukrainian cuisine is one of the richest in the world. Many visitors fall in love with Kiev from the first trip.
