# getting to TUVALU from Urumqi (CHINA) Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
thirdeye3 06:06 UTC 27 Sep 2011 | hello... I was searching for flights from Urumqi(China) to Funafuti (Tuvalu). Could you tell me about which one could be the best route, flights....? Or maybe some website where to search(generally I use Skyscanner). I was thinking to fly from Urumqi--->Hong Kong-->Suva(Fiji)--->Funafuti(Tuvalu). is this the best route, right? some website where to search ? |

thirdeye3 14:46 UTC 03 Oct 2011 | on wikipedia i'm reading: "Funafuti International Airport is located in Funafuti. Flights are only available twice a week to Suva, Fiji, on Pacific Sun, the regional carrier of Air Pacific, Fiji's national airline" (here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funafuti) and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funafuti_International_Airport : "Airlines: Air Pacific operated by Pacific Sun" and "Destinations: Suva" | 4
anillos_de_saturno 15:06 UTC 03 Oct 2011 | I agree with the info you (thirdeye3) provide on #4; although I think that nowadays the flights between Suva and Funafuti are operated by Air Pacific and not by Pacific Sun (but this is a minor point). You should read my post (#3) properly. | 5
