# How reliable are flights in Samoa? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa
svenues 16:11 UTC 24 Mar 2018 | Hello Will be traveling to Samoa by end of May and need to book a flight out of Samoa. However, I wonder if it is wise to leave Samoa a day earlier than necessary, in case the flight gets delayed or canceled, which makes me flying out the next day. So the question is in general, how reliable are flights out of Samoa towards Fiji with Fiji Airways, do they "always" depart on time? Thanks |
tempelton 19:06 UTC 24 Mar 2018 | https://www.flightradar24.com/36.92,-7.56/3 I think they have a history of flights so you could look up the flight you want to take, what they can't do is look into the futur, so nobody will know if your plane goes tech and doesn't fly or if there is adverse weather when you want to fly, if you have an important meeting or an international flight to catch I advise to arrive a day early, but that's just me. | 1
