Need another OW city to hit on trip.....
After WC2010, I'm going to spend another week in the EU and wanted to cross off a few more cities/countries. I'm pretty set on hitting DME, but want to hit one more city before heading back to the states, and from what I've found with flight schedules, these seem to be the best 4:
Belgrade
Riga
Kiev
Istanbul
Any thoughts on any of those? Note this would only be for about 2 days. Thx

I love Istanbul but remember it could be very hot in md July. It is much more established as a tourist destination and I presume for good reason.
But there may be compelling reasons why one might choose one of the others due to personal preferences. In the end this type of question is a bit like asking "do you prefer roses or lamb or jazz". They're all potentially good and what you decide you can't live without will vary from person to person.

I would definitely recommend Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia! Great wine, great food and beautiful mountains. 2 days eating and drinking there would be a blast. I was there a couple years ago for work and loved it.
oneworld.com lists Tbilisi as a destination. Flights are BA7566/5 but they're operated by BMI so I'm not sure if they are eligible for whatever fare you're booking. So its only a oneworld codeshare city, not on oneworld metal. But it would be fun nonetheless!
