Flights between fiji and cook islands |

| Ok so I going to Fiji in November for 4 weeks as part of my RTW. I realise now that this maybe a little bit too long!
So ideally I want to fit the cook islands in as well, but it's not possible with the type of ticket I have. Are there any cheap flights that go from fiji to cook islands and back? I have looked into Air New Zealand but a return flight comes to a whopping £600. No thanks! |

| You might need to fly to NZ - it was about 15 months ago I was there and was quoted if I remember $300 by Blue pacific from Auckland... | |

| you could go from either NZ to Fiji return, then NZ - Cook Islands - Los Angeles
or NZ to Cook Islands return, then NZ - Fiji - LA there's only one flight a week from rarotonga to LA though, i think, so fiji -LA has more flexibility. http://www.southpacific.org/blog/2006/10/dead-end-destination-rarotonga.html This article explains the changes There seems to be a few of these Cook islands & or Fiji threads appearing recently. Makes you wonder why Air NZ cancelled the route if people seem to want to see both. |

| Thanks for all the replies!!!
I'm actually going RTW anti-clockwise, and my next stop after fiji is auckland. So what I might do is change my departure date from fiji to auckland to 7-10 days earlier (for a small fee), and get a return flight to rarotonga, cook islands from auckand. The cheapest I could find is Air New Zealand for £220 return. That's still kinda pricey though. Is it worth seeing cook islands for this much after just coming out of fiji? |

| Cook Islands > Fiji by so much in my opinion.
I found it so much nicer that the tacky touristy buy buy buy my merchandise shops that Nadi and other towns in Fiji are laden with. I went there before I flew to Fiji, While I was traveling, Air NZ got rid of the direct route, so it was a suprise to find that we had to fly from the cooks to auckland, then to fiji. So I visited NZ a month before scheduled 
Raratonga is beautiful, Muri Beach being one of the highlights of it. It's very cheap to rent a moped for wizzing around the island... even if you don't have an actual driving license >_> If you go, I recommend this place to stay. http://www.rarotongabackpackers.com/index.htm It's really nice, as is the owner of the place. |
