My fees

(or, as that demagogue uncle Pasha prefers to call them, contribution towards keeping my part of the operation afloat)

$25 for one or two ticket. 80% of ticket orders are receive fall into this category.

$50 for complex cases or a bunch of tickets, or tickets with connections, stopovers and what not.

$10/hour for other errands

$40 for airport pickup (done by one of the people from www.moscowdrivers.net)

Looking things up in the telephone directory, or making a couple of calls on your behalf is complimentary. If that is not enough I can be hired at an hourly rate, with $25 minimum.

Payment can be done by cheque sent to my partner's bank in Canada, or via PayPal. Ask for exact instructions.
