# air access to Kiritimati (Christmas Island) Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Kiribati
dave 04:43 UTC 20 Jul 2007 | Hi All: A group of Europeans currently in the US is thinking about visiting Christmas Island. Does anyone here know the easiest way to get to Christmas Island by air from North America? I know Aloha Airlines used to have a weekly charter between Honolulu and Christmas Island, but I think it's been discontinued. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

There were no internal flights at all - the "easiest" way was to travel internationally via Fiji and Hawaii. Given the geography, it doesn't seem possible to come up with a more practical air route than access via Hawaii. | 1
