- Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest South Pacific flight deals.
- If you’d like to fly directly from the US to the South Pacific, you should depart from Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Honolulu. If you depart from most of the other cities in the US, you’ll likely have a stopover at one of the airports that serve Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Honolulu.
- Although several airlines offer flights from the US to the South Pacific, the airline you settle on will be influenced by the South Pacific country you are flying to. If you want to travel directly from the US to Tahiti, you can board an Air France flight or an Air Tahiti Nui Flight. On the contrary, if you want to travel directly from the US to New Zealand, you will have to settle on an Air New Zealand flight.
- As a US citizen, you must have a valid US passport, return or onward tickets, as well as proof of sufficient funds to enter the South Pacific islands of American Samoa, Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, French Polynesia, Nauru, Marshall Islands, New Caledonia, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. You don’t need a visa if you plan to stay in any of the noted countries for less than 30 days. On the contrary, you must have a visa or an Electronic Travel Authority to enter Australia.
- Port Hedland International Airport is one of the key air transit stations that serve Western Australia. This being the case, if you’d like to tour Western Australia extensively, you should book a flight that lands at this airport. Some major Western Australia attractions you can tour if you land at this airport include Cape Keraudren Nature Reserve, Koombana Lookout Port Hedland, the Don Rhodes Mining Museum, and 6 Mile Creek.
- In South Pacific’s Papua New Guinea, you’ll likely alight from your flight at the Port Moresby International Airport. Also known as Jacksons International Airport, this airport is the largest and busiest airport in the country.
- If you’d like to check out mind-blowing nature attractions in Vanuatu, you’ll have to settle on a one-stop flight from New York, Dallas, Honolulu, or Los Angeles offered by Fiji Airways. This is because currently, no airlines fly directly from the US to Vanuatu.
- When flying to the smaller South Pacific islands, it’s in your best interest to fly into one of the key international airports in Australia, namely Sydney Kingsford International Airport, Brisbane International Airport, Melbourne International Airport, and Perth International. You can easily get cheap flights to all South Pacific islands at any of these airports.

Airline reviews
Cons: "American airlines, No entartainment, no hi hello from the crew, no food, not even water... Funny guys, why the have flight people inside the plane :) domestic airlines are always joke compared to the world domestic or overseas...."
Cons: "American airlines, No entartainment, no hi hello from the crew, no food, not even water... Funny guys, why the have flight people inside the plane :) domestic airlines are always joke compared to the world domestic or overseas...."
Pros: "I didn’t get on this flight. Due to the departure at LAX. It would’ve been nice to know that this was a possibility before the arrival. Although the ladies at Japan Airlines were able to get me on a later flight, it almost didn’t happen. But the kept making calls to help me. I’m very thankful they were able to get me on ANA flight at 8pm."
Cons: "Communication"
Cons: "Please contact me-I was in a car accident on way to airport and was in hospital-missed flight-too another flight next day-would like a refund"
Pros: "The flight attendant and staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Japan airport is updated with excellent facility and flight transferring was easy."
Pros: "Beautifully presented and tasty Japanese food. Electronic windows."
Cons: "Not overly impressed with the 12:05am departure time. Western food not overly impressive. Having to travel from the plane to terminal by bus."
Pros: "I wish all long haul flights were like this. Very clean and well maintained cabin space, good quality food, very attentive, helpful and polite cabin crew. Never thought I’d be able to say this, but the 14 hour flight with two young children in economy was a really enjoyable experience with JAL!"
Cons: "Really no complaints"
Cons: "no 1st class offered. I wanted to use my system wide upgrade but can't get a flight that offers 1st class anymore"
Pros: "Super! Arrived 45 minutes early. Will definitely fly JAL again. I went baller and took business class. Ballerness is unstoppable, unsurpassed"
Pros: "This airline is efficient, polite, and has a great business class product. Seats are large and open. Easy to move into different positions. Tv is in readable large and clear with a mini screen in the remote. The food was outstanding. Waygu beef medium rare. Washrooms are the cleanest in the sky. Definite repeat!"
Pros: "Friendly and attentive staff with excellent amenities ie: check in, seat space, food quality, movies to watch, music, ...etc."
Cons: "Nothing to complain about here. Both trips to Tokyo, Japan--to and from Japan have been enjoyable and drama free."
Cons: "Great flight everything smooth - the food is fantastic I flew economy and received excellent food. The employees are very friendly and the plane was a recent model Boeing very smooth."
Pros: "The plane was ghetto and old and there was only one tiny restroom for the entire economy class."
Cons: "A newer plane with more restrooms would be great."
Pros: "Some of your reservations staff in Los Angeles needs to be counseled"
Cons: "Been more polite especially mike in your mileage program."
Pros: "Speeding of departure after boarding"
Cons: "Flight delayed again. Flight was delayed due to “preparations “ but the plane was at the gate for 3 hours before boarding. Did not make sense. Flight was warm in the plane."
Pros: "The cabin crews were excellent. Food was delicious. Lots of leg room in Economy class. Overall had a great experience"
Cons: "none"
Cons: "12:05 am flight back to Lax is good because you can sleep a little then be awake for a good period of time before and after landing which helps promote getting back to normal sooner. Flight got a little chilly whole is was sleeping but otherwise a very good flight."
Pros: "Crew was great. Economy premium was definitely worth the extra cost"
Cons: "I wish the flight wasn't 13 hours haha"
Cons: "The main issue was getting off the plane in Sydney - we had to wait for a bus to offload us as the plane was sitting a long distance from the terminal. The bus eventually came, offloaded half the passengers and then returned 20 minutes later to start to offload the rest. It's the longest time I've ever spend disembarking from a plane and clearing an airport - very poor whoever was responsible (I'm assuming Sydney airport was at fault)."
Pros: "We asked for the seafood meal option. Great food and we were served before regular meal service. The ANA staff was unfailingly polite and helpful. The economy class seats were surprisingly comfortable and the entertainment options were well-rounded. We hope to fly on ANA again!"
Pros: "Service was impeccable, as usual, from check-in to boarding. Crew was attentive and friendly."
Cons: "Cabin was too warm. Seems there is no way to adjust temperature /individual air flow on a 777-300."
The only thing that was less than excellent was the food server at dinner. (I had the chicken.) It wasn't that it was poorly heated or in difficult-to-open containers; it was just that it had a very peculiar taste. And I use that to describe not just the main course but the dessert as well. Very odd flavours for what seemed to be a mainstream item. I did like that the airline offered us a free glass of wine. The breakfast omelette wasn't bad, although it was quite bland.
Pros: "I would have liked for them to refund my ticket even though I asked them to. They ignored my request and I didn't get to go on to the plane but I still paid for it."
Cons: "A refunded plane ticket or voucher would have been better."
Cons: "Great that they served two warm meals without extra charge? But the meals were quite bland, with little imagination."
Cons: "The food tasted good and was fresh, however, the presentation was a bit stodgy."
Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "The seat I had booked and was confirrmed was not available, double booked."
Pros: "I liked sleeping for 10 hrs & arriving in AKL ready to roll!"
Cons: "I paid for seats, but there is no record of my purchase at NZ air."
Pros: "Everything. Air NZ has the best Premium Economy class in the sky."
Cons: "All good."
Pros: "Non stop flight"
Cons: "Staff not wake me up even after requesting they not wake me up to force feed a meal."
Cons: "The landing was poor , almost to a point of dangerous . Too much turbulence during flight. And the drops should have been avoidable"
Pros: "Business class lay-flat seats and a private cubby."
Cons: "Boarding required a bus ride to a distant terminal rather than direct boarding from the terminal."
Cons: "Hawaiian boasts about a free meal yet provide no movie services. NEVER AGAIN!"
Pros: "The crew was friendly, the flight went smoothly overall."
Cons: "I tried to request a vegan meal ahead of time but Hawaiian Airlines only offers special meal requests for international flights, which was very disappointing."
Pros: "First class! Never done it before but was pretty amazing. The extra comfort are great too"
Pros: "Entertainment choices good"
Cons: "Worst food offerings. Not enough food offerings for 10 hour plus flight. Poor entree quality for international flight."
Cons: "Just a few too many announcements and adverts, a bit noisy. But wonderful food and bev service and timely, comfortable flights."
Pros: "Comfort plus in the front cabin is nice and quiet"
Cons: "Entertainment screen had problems."
Cons: "Flight was 2 hours delayed so missed lunch and wasted more than half a day in the airport instead of enjoying my vacation"
Pros: "The crew was great ."
Cons: "We waited over an hour for our luggage at the baggage claim. If it was gonna take that long, a staff member should of had the courtesy to apologize for the delay and gave us an update ."
Cons: "My surfboard bag was ripped and all straps were broken and was then patched up with duct tape!!! What the F#€*?!! It looked like it fell off the plane and was run over. Plus my bike box was torn to bits and patched with duct tape and was cut open by someone’s knife, I ended up loosing bike parts because of this. Horrible bag handling by the crew!! This was all noticed when I picked up my bags in Auckland"
Pros: "I liked the movie options and the constant attention with beverages and snacks"
Cons: "Everything was great!"
Pros: "The food was great and the service was good as well."
Cons: "They did not give us instant noodle when we asked for it and the seats in Economy did not have foot rest in front like Singapore Airline."
Cons: "Thank you China airlines. This is the second time I have been traveled by China airlines. Next three months I will have a trip more. Good!"
Pros: "Yes the crew was amazing ✅ Very professional and friendly"
Cons: "A few more newer and English speaking movies sure would be nice. Thanks for asking.✈️☀️"
Pros: "Food was slightly better than the previous flight."
Cons: "Same lousy headphones. My seat had a led rest that made it harder to get in and out, and wasnt usable due to the close distance to the seat in front. What was the designer thinking? I missed the drink service if there was one, never saw water going around until right at the end. . ."
Pros: "Amazing lady who worked at the counter. So fast and efficient. I’ve never seen such efficiency at any airline before. Thank you."
Cons: "Next time I have to check in on line before going back.because there was a long line up."
Pros: "Restroom was kept clean throughout the flight which impressed me"
Cons: "Some of the courses in the dinner were excellent like the soup and appetizer. Other items were off, like the entree. Wine selection could improve."
Cons: "Sorry, I’m always picky about the thinness of the seat cushions, the meals, and the IFE. But I still rate China Airlines as the best affordable Chinese Airlines I’ve flown. And it’s super convenient that China Airlines flies out of Ontario CA now. ONT vs LAX. It’s a no brainer. ONT every time."
Cons: "It was overall good goong there, however my trip back from Manila to Ontario was cancelled due to employee strike and i had a 12 hr lay over in Taipei and diverted my flight to LAX and have to pay almost $100 for my Uber ride. I will have to ask China Airlines to reimburse my Uber expenses."
