Has anyone used this travel agency?

I'm getting a round-trip airfare JFK - SVO in December for $491, including taxes  :o

I know prices dip in the winter, but last February the cheapest flight I could find to SPB set me back $800. I'm wondering if this place is legit...

hmmm... sounds too good to be true.  But you might call the airline to see if they show your booking for the flight?

Groov,
Did you click all the way through to checkout?
I looked at the site, and since we were tentatively planning a return over new year, looked up Miami>Moscow
It started out as $529 (great price) but by the time you get to the part where you confirm your itinarary it had made 3 price jumps to it's final resting place of $1002 per ticket (not such a great price!)

Jet,

I made it as far as being prompted for my credit card details.

Oddly enough, I searched the same dates for JFK-BSP and it came in at $555, more expensive than the $491 I was quoted for JFK-BSP-SVO. (Even though both of the cheapest itineraries were with the same carrier, Aerosvit, and the same flight #s, and the cheaper fare included the BSP to SVO leg).

I had the same experience as Jet.  I did run them through the BBB website.  They have a AA rating.

How many A's are possible?  Are 3 the most?

From Seattle to Tashkent runs about $1308 on that travel agency site in December. It's a normal price, nothing out of the ordinary.
