harry_mudd 12:35 UTC 12 May 2007 | G'day I've just been invited to attend an interview in Lautoka. The people will give me free accommodation and pay half the airfare. Sounds too good to say no to. But I thought I might go to Tonga while I am there. I would like to do Newcastle (or Sydney if I have to)-Fiji-Tonga-Australia or Australia-Tong-Fiji-Australia. I can't figure out how to get me and my golf sticks to Tonga from Fiji and vice versa. So any ideas? |
Laszlo 13:03 UTC 12 May 2007 | Option 1: Cheapest RT ticket to Nadi (half of it paid for you) + RT ticket using Air Pacific's Bula Fares from Nadi to Tonga A variation on this could be simply getting an Air Pacific ticket from AU to Tonga RT, with a stopover in Nadi (their hub). Option 2: Virgin's budget flight, booked online, AU to Nadi OW, Air Pacific's Bula Fare flight from Nadi to Tonga OW, back from Tonga to AU with Virgin OW. | 1
harry_mudd 13:19 UTC 12 May 2007 | thanks. I'll start doing the maths. | 2
bendigo 18:45 UTC 12 May 2007 | Ah Harry, Inspired by recent screenings of Crocodile Dundee, you are returning to say " That's not a knife - This is a knife"???? Surely a loop down through Auckland would be more fun? Cheers, Rob | 3
harry_mudd 06:14 UTC 13 May 2007 | sounds good. | 4
harry_mudd 10:46 UTC 14 May 2007 | OK next question. How do i get from Nadi to Nuku'Alofa and back? Air Pacific don't seem to have it on their list. | 5
Laszlo 11:39 UTC 14 May 2007 | They sure do! They list it as: Nadi-Tonga 219.00 131.80 The first number is the basic fare, the 2nd the tax. Both in Fijian dollars, of course! It's actually their very cheapest international destnation. | 6
Laszlo 11:40 UTC 14 May 2007 | I might add that their Nadi-Tonga flights tend to stop in Suva, so you could get off there on the way back if you prefer. | 7
bulabear 18:35 UTC 14 May 2007 | Try www.airpacific.com ,click on special fares and then"bulafares from Fiji" and / or Bulafares from Pacific Islands. The rate Laszlo wrote is offered as a mother's day special - but maybe they extend it! | 8
Laszlo 18:41 UTC 14 May 2007 | Check it again bb, that fare I put there is the very Bula fare you recommend! Mothers' Day specials are only offered to AU and NZ. | 9
bulabear 04:11 UTC 15 May 2007 | You are right, Lazlo, sorry! | 10
harry_mudd 05:56 UTC 15 May 2007 | thanks again. | 11
