# Reaching Tuvalu from Europe? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
lpitta 12:09 UTC 31 Aug 2019 | Hi, I have this question: What are the options to reach Tuvalu? Any ideas for the best air route from Europe? I only found flights from the Fiji islands. |
Laszlo 22:05 UTC 31 Aug 2019 | The only flights are from Fiji, so you must fly there first. It is certainly easiest to buy a through a flight on Fiji Airways, though if you try, you might save some cash by flying Scoot to Singapore and on to Australia, then Jetstar to Fiji. | 1
lpitta 04:45 UTC 01 Sep 2019 | Thanks Laszio, That was my suspition. I did flied Scoot from Osaka to Singapore this year. It was fine albeit there are no TV or meals included. BTW they have the world record for the longest low cost air route on the planet - that is Singapore to Berlin non stop. The less expensive route to Tuvalu probably will be: Berlin - Singapore - Sydney - Nadi (Fiji) - Funafuti (Tuvalu) I'll try to dig something from New Zeland maybe... | 2

A far more adventurous, and costly, route would be to LA and then take the United Airlines Island Hopper flight through to Majuro or Pohnpei, catch an Air Nuaru flight down to Kiribati and then an Air Kiribati flight to Tuvalu. It is doable and connections leave within a day or 2 from each island. | 4
