# RE: budget air fares?? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Northern Mariana Islands
Laszlo 06:47 UTC 23 Jul 2011 | I don't think there are any flights via Saipan itself, but Continental flies from Manila or Hong Kong to LA via Guam, and from Guam, Saipan is a short and cheap side-trip. Of course AA flies to both HKG and MNL. |
papadon 06:44 UTC 23 Jul 2011 | I am finishing up a couple of years volunteering/traveling in Asia and would like to visit a family member in Saipan on the way back to the States. My question is: is there an less expensive flight alternative from Asia to California via Saipan?? I can start in Australia, Indonesia, or almost any where that Air Asia flys into. Ideas?? Thanks. | 1
anillos_de_saturno 15:52 UTC 23 Jul 2011 | In addition to Laszlo's post, Sichuan Airlines has flights from Shangai to Saipan and Asiana Airlines fly from Seul to Saipan (they also have a flight from Tokyo). Delta Airlines has direct flights from Tokyo to Saipan and the offer connections from Saipan to the USA via Tokyo. But I suspect that it won't be cheap... Check out the rates! | 2
mumoko 04:34 UTC 26 Jul 2011 | Possibly with China Airlines via Taipei to Guam and then on the short-flight to Saipan. I saw a plane of a Korean airline at Guam airport which is not noted on the tourism bureau info section. Or via Seoul on Asiana to Siapan or via Guangzhou on Shaghai Airlines to Saipan. | 3
