Air New Zealand is the year-round carrier to the Cook Islands with frequent direct flights from New Zealand, Fiji, Tahiti and Los Angeles. They also have connecting services from Australia and London as well as with all Star Alliance Partner Airlines.
Aloha Airlines provides a direct link with Hawaii, Vancouver and American Samoa and from December 2004, Virgin Blue is schedules to commence a Service from Australia.
Please note that the Cook Islands are situated very close to the international dateline which always causes confusion among air travellers as tickets only state departure time and date. Please check the timetables at www.airnewzealand.com to verify your actual arrival date and time which could be the day after or even the day BEFORE departure!
