Ukraine International Airlines

[mendyt]

Good info to know and be prepared with the facts before checking in:

A few of my family members flew home today from KBP to JFK with PS and they were advised that they can only bring on 1 carry on without any personal bag
You can see their updated terms here: https://www.flyuia.com/ua/en/information/baggage/luggage-terms-and-conditions

They were wrong in this case for several reasons.
1) ticket was purchased before November 2018
2) The rule is supposed to go in to effect Jan 15, 2019
3) It's officially only for short haul flights


So if you are flying this creepy airline be sure to know the regulations to avoid any aggravation

It was changed to that time for all flights starting from April.
PS 231 leaves KBP at 9:30am instead of 11:30am

im glad they shortened my stop over

The flight time is worse.
The 00:30 flight made more sense.
You could work a full day.
It was one of the last flights out of JFK every night.
Short security lines. 
Arrive KBP/TLV in the afternoon/evening.

Maybe for passengers, but not for them. They had an aircraft sitting idle in JFK for 10 hours every day. With the new schedule they need just one aircraft to operate the route. They can use the second 777 for an alternate/new route.

Perhaps the same answer. Until today with 2 aircraft on the route, there was enough spare hours to do the TLV route overnight. But now they can use the second 777 for another long-haul flight.

This means there will be lots of delays, and until now there was almost never a delay out of JFK.

Probably true, too. And in the summer months where they have daily flights, I guess that can mean a ripple affect for a couple of days (until they can swap a flight with a 767 etc.)

Gotta love the kosher food on top of the panini with ham...

I'm being asked by a future Seminary girl Mom....3-4 girls flying to Seminary...Most of them first time flying...Comfort not an issue. The primary concern is their arriving safely....Flight is significantly cheaper than the seminary group flight and their pinching as it is. 

Assuming the follow instruction and behave on the plane and during stop over, should there be any issue with them flying them?

No.
Only thing is, there can sometimes be long delays in KBP but then again, it can happen with any connection.
