Voice of Travelers to Palau

Unforgettable time in Palau. So Glad I booked a ticket!

I traveled on an onward ticket from Australia through Palau to Hong Kong. I purchased the ticket with Virgin Australia and Palau Pacific Airways. The ticket with Palau Pacific Airways was quite expensive, however, I took advantage of being able to spend a few days in Palau. With a direct ticket to Hong Kong, it would not have been possible to see Palau. Both Virgin Australia and Palau Pacific Airways offered great service and good food was included in the price of the ticket. The beaches on Palau Islands were exquisite. I recommend visiting the Palau archipelago to all lovers of romantic getaways. I am so happy that I did not buy a direct ticket to Hong Kong and skip Palau. It would have been a great pity to skip visiting Palau.

Cheap ticket to Palau Islands

I found a very good return ticket deal with a hotel and transportation included for Palau Islands. Not knowing much about Palau, I decided to go and I purchased the ticket online. My journey started in Hong Kong on a direct flight to Palau with Palau Pacific Airways. The ticket was issued until Palau's capital. I eventually ended up spending most of my days in Koror, which is one of the cities located in the Palau archipelago. I just took it easy and relaxed on the beaches in Palau. Palau and its beauty are beyond this world! If you find a cheap deal with tickets included, you must visit Palau!
