# 4 weeks from Oz to US? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
tbacus 04:19 UTC 14 Feb 2012 | I will have most of April to get from Oz to the west coast of the US. Can anyone recommend a good itinerary through the islands? I am thinking 3-5 stops along the way? Interested in getting a good flavor for the islands as I haven't spent any time out there before. Thanks in advance! |
ozziegiraffe 10:54 UTC 14 Feb 2012 | There is a comprehensive list of flights across the Pacific here in the FAQs Flights between countries are limited. One possibility would be Australia to (Papua New Guinea then) Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, then some of the Polynesian countries. Fiji is the crossroads, with flights in and out of most of the other countries. | 1
lagoon 01:28 UTC 17 Feb 2012 | There are no flights between Fiji and the Cook Islands. Air NZ ceased this route approx 3 - 4 years ago. Air NZ has also ceased its unprofitable Samoa - Tonga - LAX flight. | 2
