Hey Iskra. Please don't stress yourself about any delays right now. This is an awful situation to find yourself in. I hope you have since found a solution, but if not please do not hesitate to ask for help.

I see this post was 12 hours ago. Did you manage to book a flight?

Ashragon

Hey Iskra, I really hope you are okay.

Guys, if anyone can help, flights between Istanbul and Batumi are about $400. I'd book it myself, but I'm out of work... https://www.expedia.com/Flights-Search?flight-type=on&mode=search&trip=oneway&leg1=from%3AIstanbul%2C+Turkey+%28IST%29%2Cto%3ABatumi%2C+Georgia+%28BUS%29%2Cdeparture%3A3%2F5%2F2022TANYT&options=cabinclass%3Aeconomy&passengers=children%3A0%2Cadults%3A1%2Cseniors%3A0%2Cinfantinlap%3AY&fromDate=3%2F5%2F2022&d1=2022-03-05

It looks like Western Union has a number of offices in Istanbul, if you can get to one, some of us can send money that way.

Ascender

We're not dealing with an office in the States or Russia. I doubt Turkey's consumer-protection laws are nearly as helpful.

The website states that there are foreign exchange offices that provide money transfer services in the airport. If you tell us which are available maybe we can help.

I was worried about you, after reading about worsening situation in Russia, because of Ukraine invasion, sanctions, now russia blocking social media sites, ... First thing that comes to my mind, is trying to ask on russian embassy.. ye but then again I don't know, because of current situation. Damn reading this makes me anxious. Think embassy would the first thing I could think of. After that I don't know, ask local authorities for help? Try money transfer service tomorrow, when they open, like Ashragon said?

Spartan277

Oh.. Oh shit. Well don't worry about the sending the stuff, lets find out a way to help you out!

LePetitHelvète

My god, this is terrible. I don't know what to say either, I was worried about you as soon as this conflict started, but I didn't expect this situation. You have all my support Iskra, Take good care of yourself

Leo Drago

God, I don't even know what to say or how to support you in this situation...

Techorb

azscn

Uuu, this is bad. How to help ? Money for patrona is bot big problem I guess but is IT realu enough. Embassy can help indeed. They can sat at least where to change money.

I looked it up, I can transfer to a bank account but that doesnt work if your cards are frozen.

Breef

I'm sorry, hoping for the best for you <3

Ashragon

I'm sorry to hear that. :( I've searched for money transfer services near the airport. Sadly they are all closed until tomorrow.

Were the Moscow-Istanbul tickets and Istanbul-Batumi ones from the same company? If yes, then it is up to them to ensure that they fulfill their contractual obligations. If the tickets were not from the same company, then, unfortunately, the Istanbul-Batumi ticket is no longer valid, but they can give you another one - it depends on their rules. From which airline was the Istanbul-Batumi ticket?

Blackjack

I highly doubt they will be of much help right now with the current state of propaganda in Russia.

Alex J Waddington

Get to your embassy, they can help with currency exchange and often in cases of civil unrest will even help you get where you need to go.

Fenris wolf

Let me know if I can help I'm sorry

Rhaegar Vas Normandy

Is there a way I could send, a few dollars?

Dimitri

Viiz

Damn isn't there anyway to help?

Blackjack

Is there a Western Union kiosk or store there?

ShyCyborg
