cheap flights to and from SolomonsCountry forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Solomon Islands | ||
I'm travelling abroad and have just been given a great opportunity to do a live-a-board in the Solomon Islands. I'm a Canadian, currently in Indonsia, and I am wondering if anyone can suggest the most budget way to fly to the Solomons from either Indonesia, East Timor, Australia or New Zealand. | ||
G'day Keltay. I'm not overly confident that there are any budget flights to Honiara. Come to think of it, the Central Pacific never really has had this kind of service. From Australia (Brisbane) you could try 'Our Airline' since they fly the same route that Solomon Airlines do, the latter being in a mess right now due to their aircraft of choice. I did hear that Ozjet may be contracted by Solomon Airlines to fly BNE-HIR but unsure of the real details. | 1 | |
Thanks for the info, I'll have a look at some of those sights. The best I've found so far is $900 return from Brisbane. If anyone has any more options to add, please let me know. | 2 | |
Don't know if you have left Indonesia yet, but I returned to Australia from Solomon Islands a couple of weeks ago. Solomon Airlines is currently exploring options, including code share with various regional airlines. | 3 | |
Ozziegiraffe, do you have any contact info(preferrably email address) of the agent that your Sydney friends bought tickets on Air Pacific? I tried searching for the fare on its site but it doesn't seem to work. | 4 | |
