Question 8

How long does it take to fly to Samoa?

Accepted Answer

You can catch flights to Samoa from a few Australian cities. Those on the east coast, such as Brisbane and Sydney, are the closest, offering the shortest flights. You can fly from Brisbane to Apia, the capital of Samoa, in about 5h and 40min from here, travelling on Qantas Airways. From Sydney, you can expect the flights to take an average of about 7h, travelling on a selection of airlines, with flights every day. You can book with Qantas, LATAM and Air New Zealand, or find some cheap flights with Jetstar. Virgin Australia and Fiji Airways offer other routes. Flying to Apia from Victoria will see you flying from Melbourne Airport and landing in Samoa about 7h and 45min later. Airlines that fly this route every day are Qantas, Jetstar and Air New Zealand, with Virgin Australia and Fiji Airways offering a few per week. These flights take slightly longer, at just under 8h total travel time.

Question 9

Can you get direct flights to Samoa from Australia?

Accepted Answer

You can catch non-stop Samoa flights from Brisbane out of Brisbane Airport (BNE) once a week on Qantas Airways. Like all flights between Australia and Samoa, these flights land at the island’s only international airport, Apia Faleolo International Airport (APW). Your travel time will be roughly 5h and 40min. These are currently the only direct flights between the countries, with flights out of other city airports making at least one domestic stop before flying to the island. The quickest flights to catch out of Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) take about 6h and 50min, on Air New Zealand, stopping over at Auckland International Airport (AKL) on the way. You can book flights with Jetstar, LATAM or Qantas on the same route, but you’ll transfer to Air New Zealand in Auckland. Otherwise, you can fly via Nadi International Airport (NAN) in Fiji, taking Fiji Airways all the way, or taking off with Qantas, Virgin Australia or Jetstar and transferring to Fiji Airways at Nadi. Finally, you can fly first to Brisbane on Qantas, Virgin Australia or Jetstar. Flights from Melbourne Tullamarine Airport follow much the same routes, on the same airlines, via Auckland, Brisbane and Nadi. The average flight time is roughly 7h and 45min.

Question 10

What is the best way to travel around Samoa?

Accepted Answer

Samoa is a collection of islands in the Pacific to the east of Australia, just beyond Fiji, so you’ll typically have to take a ferry as part of any trip between the main cities in the archipelago. Unfortunately, there isn’t any public transport between them, so it’s a good idea to book a hire car before take-off in Australia. The second largest town after Apia is Asau, and you can get there from Apia in just under 3h using a combination of hire car and ferry. You can drive from Apia to Mulifanua, which will take about 30min, then board one of the ferries that leave three times a day for a trip of about 1h to Salelologa. Then it’s a further drive of about 1h and 20min to Asau. A smaller town that’s a lot closer by is Mulifanua, which is only about a 35-minute drive from Apia.

Question 11

Does an Australian citizen need a passport or visa to fly to Samoa?

Accepted Answer

Australian citizens don’t need anything more than a passport to visit Samoa, as long as your stay doesn’t exceed 60 days at a time. Your passport must simply have six months of validity remaining from when you arrive. You might also be asked to prove that you have enough money to independently sustain yourself for the duration of your stay.

Question 12

What is the best day of the week to fly to Samoa?

Accepted Answer
