# Flights from Papeete to Nadi Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
katewalker 14:56 UTC 26 Oct 2007 | Any ideas of any airlines that fly this route? I've searched everywhere with no luck and if I'm unable to do this route, I'm going to have to re-plan my next trip! Also posted in Tahiti group. Thanks! |
raro 16:16 UTC 26 Oct 2007 | Air New Zealand used to have this route, via Rarotonga. They stopped the Papeete to Rarotonga segment in Apirl, and the Rarotonga to Fiji segment ends in a week or so. Air Tahiti has picked up the PPT to RAR segment, but it's an extra ticket not covered on RTW or other tickets on the major carriers. And, there won;t be an RAR to Fiji flight as of next week, and no airline has announced a plan to fill the void. So, you might start thinking of alternative routes and plans. Not sure where you are starting from, or going to, (in the long haul) but one can hit Tahiti in one direction and Fiji in the other between Austr/NZ on the one hand and N. America/Europe on the other. | 1
katewalker 22:40 UTC 26 Oct 2007 | Thanks Raro. I was planning on flying with LAN from Santiago - Easter Island - Tahiti, and then trying to get a flight to Fiji before flying onwards from Tahiti. I think that I'll have to do the Easter Island flight from and back to Santiago and then either fly to Fiji from Santiago (if there's a flight, which I don't think there is) or fly from Santiago to Auckland (or somewhere) and get a flight to Fiji from there - I'll be all over the place though if I do this so hopefully there's a more direct route somewhere!!! | 2
raro 02:43 UTC 27 Oct 2007 | Well, even when Air NZ was flying between them, it was on a different airline alliance than LAN Chile, so you would have had to pay extra for that. You can go to EI and then Tahiti, then route yourself to Auckland NZ. From there, just do a RT to Fiji and back to AKL. I do not think there are any flights from Fiji to Chile! | 3
