# Palau from either Oz or Phillippines ?! Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Palau
diverdoll 23:26 UTC 04 Sep 2007 | Hello, We are currently trying to plan a RTW trip that will include a lot of Asia and would like to do 7-10days diving in Palau. Is it better for us to get to Oz (Cairns or Darwin ?) or Manilla for a flight to Palau ? Many Thanks |
papamike 02:43 UTC 05 Sep 2007 | Hi Becky, You can fly from either location via Continental or Asian Spirit. There is a flight from Cairns to Guam which connects with Continental's flight to Palau. I am not sure if there is a flight from Darwin at this time, I think not. From Manila there is a daily Continental flight or Asian Spirit has several flights a week. So you will need to see which fits better with your RTW ticket. Papa Mike | 1

We will be flying to Manila from Bangkok and then back to Kuala Lumpur, from there we head to Perth via Singapore. | 2
