new Caledonia - Spain

Hi,

I'm sailing the Pacific and planning on arriving in New Caledonia in November, where I would like to fly to Spain (preferably, but any european city will do) to visit my family, returning to Noumea after Christmas to continue my trip.

I'm trying to find reasonable flights but it seems like the 1700 euro fare is the cheapest I can find.
Ideally, departing New Caledonia around november 12th, returning anytime after dec 25th.

I have also tried via Chile and New Zealand (for high season there starts in december) but no good.

Does anyone know which is the most suitable route and which could be helpful websites for me to check out and compare fares?

thanks!

There is a "French-language" airline [France or Tahiti-based]---not sure which one currently has the route---that basically goes Paris/Tahiti/New Caledonia/ Paris (with an extra stop of two as well). Try air Tahiti Nui, or check with a travel agent or via Orbitz.com , etc.

Also try flights via Brisbane ie Noumea- Brisbane via Air Caledonie and then any airline from there. Id also check with Air France as they in fact own or at least operate Air Caledonie.
