Making an Inter Island Air reservation to TauCountry forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / American Samoa | ||
Hello I want to go to Ofu Island via Tau next week - there is no flight directly to Ofu right? Inter Island Air told me on phone that they are flying every day from Pago Pago I will only be able to buy the ticket in Apia at their office two/three days in advance since I'm grateful for any information | ||
Why don't you buy your ticket via telephone? | 1 | |
The first flight to Ta'u departs at 11 every day. There is no flight to Ofu but fishermen transport visitors for a fee. I've heard its 100 bucks, but you might haggle. I've always just walked up to the counter and paid cash. A lot of times they say the flight is booked. People book, don't pay and then don't show up. Its a little frustrating but I always get on the flight. If you are a hiker, the walk out to Laufuti Falls is spectacular. Start from Fitiuta where the plane lands. I start from the airport, get to the falls, and camp on the beach at the falls and then walk back the next day. Total adventure. From Pago Pago, BusyCorner | 2 | |
Thanks a lot both of you, much appreciated. The lady I spoke to didn't mention any possibility of buying the ticket via phone. The hike(s) in Tau are on my list but first I will try to go to Ofu as soon as possible | 3 | |
Calumet, if you are still in AS: are there any plans of re establishing the flights by December? | 4 | |
