I am just looking up flights to see what sort of price we are looking at but cant get the correct airport?! American Samoa's airport is Tafuna International Airport but no flights seem to go there? The only place I can get is Apia airport which is part of Western Samoa and on a completely different island?

Does any one know where to look?

Oceanic flight 815 out of Sydney - but you probably will get lost.

Thanks At least it is better than me putting in Pago Pago or Tafuna...that comes up with nothing! My Step Dad is Samoan but unfortunately he is from Western Samoa not American so he would probably have no clue either!

his should answer your Q. I was half right.
Fly to Syd, Syd to Samoa about $720 return, and Samoa to A. Samoa $360US return

Air

There's no better illustration of the physical isolation of American Samoa than the fact that you can only fly direct to Tutuila from Apia (Samoa) and Honolulu (Hawai'i). It's for this reason that many visitors tie a trip to this far-flung US territory to an exploration of Samoa and/or other South Pacific destinations.

Direct flights between Pago Pago and Honolulu start from around US$580 from Honolulu with Hawaiian Airlines. From Samoa, you can fly to Pago Pago with Inter-Island Airways and Polynesian Airlines from around US$180 one way.

Visitors fly in to Tafuna International Airport, 15km southwest of Pago Pago Harbor on Tutuila. Airlines that service American Samoa include the following (telephone numbers listed here are for dialling from within American Samoa) :

Hawaiian Airlines (http://www.hawaiianairlines.com)

Inter-Island Airways (699 7100; http://www.interislandair.com)



Polynesian Airlines (699 9126; http://www.polynesianairlines.com)

There is a ferry once a week and it takes 7 hours.

Ferry

A car ferry called Lady Naomi runs between Pago Pago and Apia once a week. It departs Pago Pago each Thursday at 3.30pm for the seven-hour trip. The return deck/cabin fare from American Samoa is US$75/100. Tickets must be purchased at least one day in advance from Polynesia Shipping Services (633 1211; Pago Pago).
