Where to book through flights to Apia, Samoa?

patwa_2

I can't find flights on either Expedia or through the bigger search engines like Kelkoo. I want something where I can book the whole route from Aberdeen to Apia. But obviously as it's a small island the number of airlines that fly there are low, I think only a few of the regional airlines do it, but even trying a known route like Sydney to apia didn't bring up anything.

Perhaps a site that does both major and low-cost airlines?

Like I said, I want something that can give me choice of timings, airlines, etc, just like expedia, but that also offers more than just economy class.

Thanks.

Air New Zealand fly there and you can use the RTW pack to get a good price, though its not going to be dirt cheap as they don't fly everyday (once a week from auckland from my memory)

Thanks. This RTW pack, is it a website or something?

You can book a flight from Aberdeen to Apia on https://www.united.com - via Heathrow, L.A and Auckland. Flights are actually operated by BMI and Air New Zealand although this can't seem to be booked on the Air NZ site. Hell of a journey though!

The RTW pack referred to by the earlier poster is Round The World ticket which will in most cases be considerably cheaper.

Thanks. In case you're wondering, it's not for me - I couldn't ever be that lucky But I do bookings for people and this was one request I just couldn't get sorted.

Thanks. Maybe I need to learn that sometimes going right to the source can be better than trying to shop around.

Yes, Air NZ offer fares from about £600+tax via LA (that's an ex LHR price) - but cheaper than a RTW. I would personally call Air NZ and ask them to recommend a specialist who will sell you their Samoa fare.

Sounds an interesting trip. Holiday or work? If holiday, and particular reason?

I think it's holiday, but I didn't ask. The person who asked me to find the fare has had a rather quiet life to date and wants to start experiencing the world. I often do a bit of my own research on places that I'm asked to find fares for, Samoa seems a nice place, I found an excellent blog on a 'work tourist''s visit there at http://www.joozies.net/archives/2006_10.html

I agree sounds fascinating. Can just imagine myself wandering around, innocent yet confused look on my face, yelling "Bula!" at the top of my lungs, and getting nothing more than irritated curiosity in response
