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.

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 $122, from Canberra $611, from Melbourne $764
  • 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.

Fantastic staff and plane Only issue was flying out from terminal 2 at Perth nothing was open to get food or drink, we were there 3 hours early with 2 kids and not prepared to not be able to purchase food or drinks. Having self check in and bag drop would be wonderful too, as we had to wait for staff to arrive to check in despite checking in online the day before . Nothing major but would have made a great trip fantastic!

Enjoyed the comfort of the seats, slight delay to departure time but prompt takeoff and landing.

It asks about entertainment tho it’s not applicable. 10/10 for Rex 👌🏻

Not sure how to answer on the entertainment as there wasn’t any.. Comfort, I wasn’t comfortable as I was on the window side and a morbidly obese man sat in the middle and eased out into my space. I had sciatica so I wasn’t able to move much to get comfortable. Food wise I have a wheat allergy and asked if there was a gluten free option and was given a Byron bay cookie which was lovely tho it wasn’t wheat free. Not to worry. I wasn’t expecting there to be any appropriate snacks for me anyhow. The staff were very generous with the snacks and their concern for the passengers. The staff were amazing tho. Truly amazing ! One of the staff must have noticed my discomfort and helped me out to stand in the back of the plane to stretch which I really appreciated. I would fly with REX again without hesitation. Thank you very much. It was my first flight with you and I look forward to my return flight home on Tuesday. Best wishes to your company 👌🏻

All good, was a one hour flight so no food or entertainment which was expected

Rex is an underrated airline. Its my first time flying them and they were fantastic. the only things that annoyed me about my flight were things other passengers did so it was nothing i or REX could change

Really enjoyed flying with Rex the boarding and booking baggage on was easier than most. I will beat using Rex next time.

On time and a quick flight and staff vert good

Again, Air New Zealand was great. They kept bathrooms clean, food was actually very good, New Zealand wines a big hit

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.

Arriving at Coolangatta, rows 20 forward, took the airbridge across to the terminal. It was suggested to those from rows 21 back, that we take the rear stairs and to be careful crossing the tarmac. That was all well and good. However, when we got across to the terminal we then had to climb three large flights of stairs to meet up with those coming across the airbridge. No elevator! There were people carrying babies and elderly carrying hand luggage that needed assistance from others.. There was no option to turn back.

USB charging ports did not work on any of Air New Zealand flights

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.

Flew premium economy, well worth the extra. Much better seat size & space. Meals & snacks were lovely. Crew really pleasant. Internet is not great, not really useful for anything. Couldn't even send messages.

Everything was fine. Wish the wifi was free and included in the ticket price.

Nothing special short flight - all good - difference between 1 fudge and 2 fudge is obligation and thankfulness

The flight we had booked was cancelled due to bad weather conditions, but we were lucky to arrive at the airport quite early and got a seat on an earlier flight. The flight was mostly nice, but there were some hefty turbulences towards Queenstown. One of the passengers behaved hysterically. It would have been great if the crew had done something to calm her.

Their aircraft are old and amenities lack way behind other international carriers leaving from BNE. Even in economy

Airport and crew experience was excellent. We had to queue for the runway - no one’s fault, but it did mean we were 30 minutes late leaving

Overall good experience with flight and airport wheelchair staff. Also got Indian food in the flights

Friendly staff, surprisingly good premium economy seats allowing good sleep/ snooze opportunity and very good menu.

Very good as always, stand out airline. The passengers whom choose to stuff baggage that otherwise should be checked-in is a real bother but that's not the airlines doing. A real frustration that passengers just don't want to check-in luggage. This is a pet hate unfortunately.

It’s a two prop flight so I had problems with my ears on re- entering ! But otherwise fine

I love flying with Qantas. There was no onscreen entertaining on this flight, and only a snack provided (not a meal) but still better than Jetstar or Virgin (in my opinion) so still happy.

Wheelchair assistance to move through the terminals and to/from the plane door was excellent. No vegan snack on the flight, only something with salami and cheese in it.

The old Plane had not been cleaned properly in a long time.

Planes was old - business class seats looked like they were installed in the 80s

Gluten free options less explicit on business class, but great service

Very good… seems the virgin staff particularly in the lounge and in flight exceeded expectations.

I liked everything about the experience but would have liked some free snacks!

Crew was great but flight was delayed almost three hours due to a technical issue and we had to go back to the terminal and wait for another one.

Being told why we delayed three hours and not even given an apology by someone. Not a word. Not my airline of choice ever.

Checked Baggage line up was long but moved quickly, rest of the process, boarding, crew was excellent

Virgin has always provided a smooth and comfortable flight. This one was no different. Seats are comfortable. Staff are great. This is my favourite airline.

Virgin changed the flight to an Alliance flight. Smaller plane, tea coffee and water the only refreshments available and not sure what happened to the extra money I paid to sit in a selected seat with extra leg room. This is obviously a regular switch as it happened on our flight there and back. Do not recommend.

Late boarding, late departure due to weather and slow boarding, packed 5+hour flight, only 2 toilets for main cabin, tight leg room, no free food except tea, coffee, and water, arrived 75 minutes late.

Cramped, crowded flight, with no complimentary food except coffee, tea, or water.

Overall, it was good. The only concern was that I couldn't charge my phone because the USB port didn't work after we took off. One of the crew members tried to restart it but never came back to me with an update.

Comfortable seats, boarding was easy and staff were very nice.

Flight was fine but a domestic flight was called by Jetstar international. This meant going through immigration and custom scanning twice. Long queues were experienced which were frustrating. We were using a wheelchair and exit at Perth needed a scissor lift as no air bridge provided. No fast lane at Perth for wheelchair. The staff were helpful but this system is poor.

The crew were great. The seat was older than an old Holden with a big metal bar sticking right into my back. The passenger next to me complained that hers was the same. The pre purchase system for food was disappointing as the pie/quiche took 20 mins to warm up, arrived too hot and with no utensils. It was one of the most uncomfortable flights I've ever been on.

Not very good, no food and not drink ( caffe or tea). Never ever fly with jet star.

Fabulous I have no issues with JetStar great service always use them to fly

Flight was as expected - we got what we paid for which was a base fare

Hardly we had overweight and we were asked to pay $75. We were checked by a female and weight was alright

Unaware of charge for carry on until i got to gate

I got what I paid for - flight was clean, staff were friendly
