getting to the solomons ?Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Solomon Islands | ||
hello there, what is the best way and most economical way to get to the solomon islands from the uk.... i have been on a few of the flight search pages and it seems to be so expensive to get there ! any help would be appreciated..... cheers | ||
The flight search pages are probably not the best wa to look, as they probably don't include most of the airlines that fly there. | 1 | |
Ozziegiraffe has provided you good advice. Brisbane is a good departure point to the Solomon Islands and it has good connections with London with low cost airlines and with non-low-cost airlines. Nadi, in Fiji, can be an alternative. You can fly from London to Nadi with Air New Zealand changing planes in Los Angeles (the leg from Los Angeles to Nadi is codeshared and operated by Air Pacific) or with Cathay Pacific changing planes in Hong Kong (the leg from Hong Kong to Nadi is codeshared and operated by Air Pacific). Another option is to find a cheap flight from London to Los Angeles or Hong Kong and to buy a separate ticket with Air Pacific for any of those destinations to the Solomon changing planes in Nadi... | 2 | |
I flew from London to Brisbane (via Kuala Lumpur) by Malaysian Airlines and it was ok, and not so expensive (considering the length of the flight). From Brisbane to Honiara I flew by Solomon Airlines (but it was actually operated by Strategic Airlines). Kind regards Wojtek | 3 | |
