Flights from Vanuatu to Samoa

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa

Hello, does anybody know if there are flights available between Vanuatu and Samoa? Thanks!

Hi,

Can't answer your question directly but check out www.southpacific.org.

Hope it helps.

Best wishes,

Alex

I think you would have to go via Fiji.

Definitely via Fiji, on Air Pacific, would be the cheapest/shortest way.

A great combination of countries, BTW - and a free stopover in Fiji would only make it better!

You can only go Vanuatu - Fiji (Sunday, Tuesday and Friday, all pm), then Fiji - Samoa (Sunday am, Tuesday pm), all on Air Pacific (airpacific.com). There are no direct flights. At least there is one easy connection on Tuesday, FJ 260, leaving Vila 2.50 pm, arriving Nadi 5.15 pm. Further on FJ 253, leaving Nadi 10.15 pm, arriving Apia 01.05 am (same Tuesday, due to crossing the dateline). On all other connections you will have to stop over in Fiji for one or more days.

Of course this is according the actual schedules only which might and certainly will change from time to time.

Thanks all for your feedback! We have a RTW ticket via Fiji and wanted to do a side trip of Fiji - Vanutau - Samoa back to Fiji to catch our main flight. I guess we have to do two return trips to Fiji. Having been to Fiji before I can think of worst places to have to go back to!

Thanks again!
