Last August we flew Aeroflot, JFK to Moscow allowed a stopover in
Russia for 10 days and then on to Bangkok for $900.00 which we felt was
a great deal.
We are looking for something similar in eastern Europe other than
Moscow, maybe the Black Sea area. We would do Moscow/St Pete again if it
wasnt such a hassle with the expensive Visa. We loved St Petersburg.
Any suggestions?

9 years ago I flew Finnair from JFK to Bangkok with a stopover in
Helsinki. I don't remember the exact price, but it was relatively
inexpensive and Finnair didn't charge anything for the stopover. During
the stopover I visited St.Petersburg by train.

Yes, thank you, something like that...is what we need, I dont know how
expensive and interesting Helsinki may be...but I surely would want to
go there in July.

Turkish airlines might do.

Not exactly Black Sea, but Malev flies nonstop from Budapest to both New
York and Bangkok. That might be worth looking into.
