My silly story of buying tickets from Kyiv to Paris

I’ve dreamed of going to Paris for several years, and finally it was time to fulfill this dream and go to New Year vacation.

Having studied all the options for flights to Paris, in the spring I’ve found a wonderful, simple and comfortable flight from KLM on the route Kyiv-Amsterdam-Paris 31.12.19.

It was here that I had to stop and buy these tickets, but I didn’t. This is where the stupid part of my story begins.

In the fall, I suddenly (!!!) discovered that already from 28.12. it will be a weekend, and I really want to leave Kyiv early. And then the race for the ghost began: the good prices, of course, were over, and I had to figure out something.

But I was not very upset, and decided that this is a sign that we need to fly and ride the train. So the Kyiv-Cologne route was planned to go by plane and then to Paris by Thalys train.

And then, attention, a strike begins in France, and trains fall into its zone of operation. So, considering risks, to buy train tickets made no sense.

Further events developed quite interestingly: in December, it was necessary to find a plane from Germany to Paris at a normal price. And if I found flight from Kyiv to Germany at an affordable price of December 29, then from Germany to Paris these prices were already cosmic for these dates, and I had to stop on a flight to Paris as early as December 31.

Yes, yes, it was the same date that I was going to get to Paris in the first normal option flight with KLM.

As a result, we’ve bought the tickets from WizzAir from Kyiv to Dortmund because of the early flight, which made it possible to maneuver, in contrast to the flight from Kyiv to Cologne, which arrived in the evening.

And getting to Paris from Dusseldorf was only possible on 31.12. only thanks to affordable tickets from Eurowings.

In general, the budget of the road to Paris was cheaper than the first option with KLM, but in terms of the nerves and health that I spent on this whole situation, it turned out to be more expensive.

Do not do as I did, please take good tickets for the right route right away and you will be happy!

The final route to our New Year vacation looked rather complicated: Kyiv-Dortmund-Cologne-Dusseldorf-Versailles-Paris.
