Thanks benberg2013, knobbgb and NWI Flyer!

Glad I didn't book this yet.

Here is background, if it's useful. Contract in Kyiv ends on 23 Nov, which is date of scheduled flight home, but refundable ticket to YHZ, so can change dates. Can't do run on 22nd, still have work commitments. So, 23 only chance. The chance for which I've been waiting for months.

Like knobbgb's suggestions, as longer connect times, so a bit less stress. But will leave all luggage, etc, in KBP, so no impediment to racing around if necessary.

Will return to KBP from IST on 24th, and fly home on 25th from KBP. If I could get back to KBP late in evening on 23rd, I could catch early flight home on 24th, which would be great, but if necessary, can stay extra day in KBP. Did any of you notice if this was possible?

Am going now to check availability KBP-YHZ on 25th, then will book A3 flights. Book directly on A3, or use OTA?
