FAQs - booking South Pacific flights

  • How can I find direct flights from Australia to the South Pacific?

    Sydney and Brisbane are the closer cities to the islands of the Pacific, so these are the Australian hubs from which you’re most likely to find direct flights. For example, you can fly directly from Brisbane to Port Moresby Airport (POM) with Qantas or Virgin. Meanwhile, Aircalin offers direct flights from Sydney to Noumea Airport (NOU).

  • Which airlines offer the fastest routes to French Polynesia?

    As the farthest island chain away from Australia, French Polynesia inevitably comes with longer flight times. However, you can find relatively short, single-stop itineraries departing from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane with Qantas, Air New Zealand and Air Tahiti Nui. Flights departing from Cairns and other major Australian hubs will be longer, as they generally include an extra stop in Brisbane or Sydney.

  • How can I secure good flight deals from Australia to the South Pacific?

    When visiting the South Pacific from Australia, it’s all about planning ahead. Some of the smaller islands have limited flights, so booking a few months in advance will get you the best possible deal. If you’ll be island-hopping, it’s also helpful to plan your itinerary so that you’re flying into and out of major hubs like Papeete or Nadi. These major tourist hubs often attract great flight deals from Australia.

  • Which visa do Australians need to visit the South Pacific?

    Australian citizens can visit islands like Lord Howe without a visa or passport, as it is part of Australia. No visa is generally required for islands within Polynesia and Micronesia. However, you will need a valid passport with blank pages. For American Samoa, you will need a visa waiver, which you can obtain online. If you will be visiting multiple islands, it’s important to double-check the visa and general entry requirements for each.  

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Australia to South Pacific?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Australia to South Pacific.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from Australia to South Pacific?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from Australia to South Pacific is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from Australia to South Pacific?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from Australia to South Pacific with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Australia to South Pacific?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from Australia to South Pacific up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • What is the cheapest day to fly to South Pacific?

    Based on KAYAK data, the cheapest day to fly to South Pacific is Friday when return tickets can be as cheap as $404. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Monday, when return prices are $457 on average.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to South Pacific

  • Looking for cheap airfare to South Pacific? 25% of our users found return tickets to South Pacific for the following prices or less: From Melbourne Avalon $113, from Canberra $879, from Melbourne $933
  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest South Pacific flight deals.
  • If you’re planning on visiting Bora Bora, Samoa, French Polynesia or any of the other tropical gems in the Polynesian Islands, it’s best to fly into Papeete’s Tahiti Faa'a International Airport (PPT) from Australia. From here, you can reach the other islands by boat.
  • While many surfers flock to famous spots like Tahiti and Vanuatu, you’ll find quieter surf in the Solomon Islands. Brisbane Airport (BNE) is the recommended Australian airport to depart from, as you can find plenty of fast, direct flights at great prices.
  • If you’ll be visiting Fiji on your South Pacific trip, you’ll find plenty of direct flights from Australia’s major east coast hubs of Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL) and Brisbane. The airlines to look for are Qantas, Virgin and Fiji Airways.
  • If the hot springs, rainforest and Mt. Yasur Volcano of Tanna are calling you, keep in mind that flights from Australian hubs like Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne generally all come with a stop at Port Vila Bauerfield Airport (VLI). This can make the total transit time quite long, so it may be worth breaking up the trip by enjoying a few days in Port Vila before heading off to Tanna.
  • If you’re keen to relax on a quieter island like Palau, keep in mind that you generally won’t find daily flights. For Palau, look for flights with Qantas and China Airlines and be prepared to book ahead since flights are limited.

This is not what I paid 6000 dollars for this seems like a joke. The lounge was pitiful with one shower for 100s of women. The food was scarce at best. There was curry, pasta and beef. What if someone was on a diet and allergic to stuff in the curry? I couldn’t eat anything there. I really would like a refund even a partial refund.

What if someone was on a diet and allergic to stuff in the curry? I couldn’t eat anything there. I really would like a refund even a partial refund.

Poor food options for vegi folks n not enough food quantity. Fiji really needs to improve on it. Flight crew is very warm and respectful but don’t know how to cater towards vegi folks n items despite so many Indians staying in Fiji

Again, Fijian hospitality was genuine, very comfortable, only improvement would be the entertainment. Why Do they only have 5 episodes of TV shows and from like season three...

Better connections, much better cabin crews, much cleaner aircraft than Qantas, American and probably others.

The flight attendants were extremely friendly and helpful. Everything ran on time. I highly recommend Fiji Airways.

Fiji Business Class was value for money. Would do again for a long haul flight.

Staff was very helpful, polite, efficient. Food was excellent. Business class seat very comfortable.

We recently flew on FIJI AIRLINES, what a breath of fresh air! From their customer service at the ticket counter/ Baggage check to the flight attendants on the plane! When I bought the tickets they were the least expensive too! I took a picture of one of the flight attendants scoop up a very fussy baby and walk her around the plane, to give her parents a break. I would love to submit, but don’t know how. Meals were great, also complimentary beer and wine was a pleasant surprise!

The business class seat was not very comfortable . Fortunately it was a short flight

check-in at sydney was a bit disorganized. one well-dressed woman appeared to be in charge, staring at others who were not ready and checking in passengers. one person at business class check-in, was sarcastic and only mentioned the gate assignment, no bother to mention the lounge access etc... the crew on board was stellar. so polite, helpful and respectful. the meals were great, endless beverages, and the a350 is spectacular with the seat/bed, amenity kit, television, bedding, headphones. first time flying fiji airways- honolulu- fiji-sydney, and sydney-fiji-los angeles, all in business class. their fares are much more affordable than other carriers. hopefully, one day, they will use a widebody aircraft from honolulu- fiji, since it is a nearly 7-hour flight and the 737-max 8, although comfortable, would be better with a widebody plane.

We got to experience Premium Economy from Sydney to Auckland and it was a great experience wiht Air New Zealand. The crew was friendly and helpful.

I was not even on that flight and did not even book a ticket. Kayak did a phenomenal job

Great entertainment options on the screen. uSB A and C chargers. Free WiFi! Crew were excellent.

Check in crew member was very helpful, nice and excellent service👍

Lost my luggage and brought someone else luggage to my airport.

The issue was with getting our boarding pases. There were issues with our arrangements that were made through Kayak. I am sorry to say that we will not use you again because of this. The flight itself was good and the flight attendants excellent.

Economy was much nicer on the Air New Zealand planes.

At Coolangatta International it is difficult to hear voice boarding announcements when away from screen announcements.

Couldn’t request a vegan meal somehow but I noticed other people getting them

They announced food service but then never came around. We also couldn’t land so kept trying to get to runway and then had to come up and go around happened like 3 times and cause the child next to me to start throwing up

Very good it will be my choice of airline while in Australia.

Flight cancelled due to broken seat. $8 refreshment voucher barely bought a coffee. 3 hours to next flight. Also then delayed.

There were no food or entertainment on this short flight. Friendly staff even before getting on the flight. The seats were snug but it was quick flight

Good flight. On time. No problems. Plane was clean. Service was as you would expect. However nothing special, just a good flight.

Very friendly staff. No food service and no entertainment. Only 1hr 20min flight

High fees for excess checked baggage and somehow ridiculous rules for carry on bags.

Flight was late, food and drink an extra charge, my carry on is five rows behind me, and the seats are too narrow. Don’t ask me to be happy about it

I bought flights in August and there wasn’t a flight in the system

Our 6.30am flight was boarded then cancelled to fly at 10.55am . We were flying to Brisbane to attend a funeral at 12 noon an hour away . This means missing the funeral due to unreliability of Virgin . Unimpressed !!

It was with Link Airways and the Saab 340 jet was noisy and little comfort.

From start to finish, every part of the experience was outstanding. The care and kindness shown to my 95-year-old mother was exceptional—truly 10 out of 10. From the assistance she received at Sydney Airport while boarding the plane to the help she was given when arriving at Wagga Wagga Airport, every staff member was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They made her feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after throughout her journey. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make my mother's trip such a wonderful experience. Your compassion and dedication are greatly appreciated.

My flight with Qantas was excellent, the crew were exceptional, the food was very good, and the seats were surprisingly spacious and comfortable. I was extremely disappointed when my checked bag did not make it onto my connecting flight, but was pleased with the ease of filing a report of a missing bag with Qantas at the Auckland airport - there, my pleasure ended. I can see, with an apple tag on my bag, that it is still in Sydney and has not moved in more than 30 hours. I shared the tracking information with Qantas and was assured when I filed the missing bag report that my bag would be delivered first thing the next morning on the next flight from Sydney to Auckland. Qantas' missing bag tracking feature still lists its status as "searching for your bag, check back later" more than a full 24 hours after filing the report despite my having shared tracking information, a photo of the bag, and calling the customer care line and being assured that an "urgent action message" had been sent to the team in Sydney. The lack of communication from Qantas' customer service department and the lack of action after an incredibly expensive business class ticket price is outrageous and has, definitively, affected my willingness to consider flying Qantas in the future, much less on long-haul international flights with high cost airfare.

Going from Sydney to London on a single flight number was very convenient, not having to worry about changing planes. Entertainment system on A380 economy cabin is very dated. Lavatories are small. The self serve refreshments have been significantly reduced since the A380 first started.

It was ok, but not what it was like 20 years ago

Great food and good entertainment options for the long flight.

It seems that qantas are trying hard to regain their status as Australia's premier airline. I only flew economy but happy with the service entertainment, food, configuration everything.

I never flew with alliance. Kayak is a joke and none of the flights or times were correct. Won’t ever use kayak again

I missed my flight due to unforeseen circumstances It was, however , an excellent price !

Loved the food and beverages available, spacious economy class, excellent entertainment

Very good overall. Highly recommend for all flying to Australia

Smooth flight with great staff shame about the hard seats

Cabin crew were really good. Flying in to Perth from Adelaide on domestic flight. The arrival for wheel chair use however has no air bridge provided. Unloading meant a scissor lift. Otherwise a good service.

Knees in back from passenger behind, limited seat pockets, no entertainment.

The Ryanair of Australia. Not impressed. Forced me to gate check my bag as it was over their weight limit. Charged me $125 for the privilege. Then said plane hold was locked and it would have to go out in the next flight, which was the following day. Explained that I was on a cruise the next day and the plane would not arrive until after the ship left, and that it would be impossible to catch up with the cruise at any point. Lady at the gate unimpressed. So to sum up they were ready to charge me $125 to lose a bag. Finally got it resolved by appealing to management, but the whole episode was not good for the blood pressure. The gate lady said they followed the Ryanair business model which means first time passengers get penalized for doing things that other airlines routinely allow.

Delayed 50 mins. Check in was excellent, boarding was good, everything else was OK and perfectly acceptable for a budget airline. Price was excellent. I noticed this airline had two other flights to our destination cancelled so not very reliable.

Horrible. The people that get this flights are very sick, dangerous and unhygienic

Jane at Sydney International airport check in was amazing. She set up the whole experience to be a positive one.

The smells on this plane were disgusting. So many sweaty and unhygienic people i couldn't stand it. I dream of being anywhere else in the world when I am on a JetStar flight they suck.

One of the better flights I’ve had w Jetstar. Smooth boarding, early take off, on time landing, very courteous crew, clean plane.

local frequent travellers know that Jetstar’s flights between MEL and LST are turnaround flights so those in the morning tend to run on time and become delayed increasingly through the day. We observed how the staff at check in and boarding try to assist, guide and facilitate travellers - they were courteous, efficient, amiable while enforcing Jetstar’s baggage requirements. They try to speed up boarding by having passengers board from both front and back. We would take Jetstar again.
