ragz 10:01 UTC 03 Feb 2008 | Hello All: I need to visit Melbourne from California and am looking at the POLYPASS from Polynesian Air. The info is below. It looks like a fun way to get to Melbourne, but the website is primitive and the email address doesn't work. Neither is a good sign. Who here knows this airline - or better yet has used a POLYPASS? Thanks All. http://www.pacificislands.com/air_passes/polypass.html PolyPass 6 countries for US$999 plus Honolulu for US$150 extra or Los Angeles for US$400 extra With Polynesian Airlines' PolyPass you can explore all corners of the Pacific: Samoa, Polynesia's home of history, myths, and legends; the friendliness of Fiji; the enchantment of Pago Pago in American Samoa; Honolulu with its year-round beach lifestyle; the city of Angels - Los Angeles; the choice of three Australian destinations-cosmopolitan Sydney, cultural Melbourne, or sporty Brisbane; and the choice of two destinations in New Zealand-Wellington, the nation's capital, or Auckland, the city of sails. Take up to 45 days of unlimited travel; write your own itinerary and explore Polynesia. Your PolyPass is your ticket to paradise. It's a great business deal, too! If you're flying the Pacific on business, you'll soon see how well Polynesian Airlines' PolyPass adds up to the best deal available. For a surcharge, your PolyPass may be upgraded to Business Class. www.polynesianairlines.co.nz |
wksamoa 13:22 UTC 03 Feb 2008 | That webpage is from 1999 and has obviously never been updated since. There is no more Polypass for quite a while already. Polynesian Airlines still exists but has only one single 19-seater aircraft left to fly regionally between both Samoas. | 1

bendigo 07:39 UTC 06 Feb 2008 | Air NZ is probably the best way to get across the Pacific and back, taking in as many islands as possible as stop-overs on their direct routes. Otherwise, for trips out of NZ or Australia into the Pacific, Virgin's "Pacific Blue" is pretty good. Rob | 3
