any passes available for central >Pacific countries?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hello all, I would like to do some island hoping in the central Pacific countries (Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Micronesia, Guam , Northern Mariana Islands, Palau) in coming September-October. I've made extensive researches to find airline passes for thast area but can't seem to find any... either they don't exist. or I'm not looking in the right places... can someone help me out, please... a million thanks.

No such passes-those countries have little in common/people are poor and therefor travel is limited & difficult.

If you exclude Kiribati and Nauru (you can visit them with tickets purchased separately with another airline), the Micronesia Airpass could suit you (verify if it's still available though). There are other options that could also suit you. This web sums them up and could be useful but don't forget you'll have to verify if they are still available.

I traveled Marshals,Micronesia,Marianas, in spring 2012, while in Hawaii I went to a Continental airline office and had a multi stop, open date ticket made out for me.It took about an hour to do, charged me the stops on each island,,but without dates-time limits. I had little to no problems when contacting airline day before I wanted to fly onto next island. I did this when Continental was merging with United,,,I had a lot of problems dealing with United,,,whereas Continental was great to deal with.
