Voice of Travelers to Tarawa
Airfare ticket to Tarawa
My husband and I have decided to spend our honeymoon in Kiribati. We lived in Fiji at the time, so we decided buy a flight ticket to Tarawa atoll. We bought a return ticket with flight from Nadi airport to Bonriki airport in Tarawa. The ticket indicated the duration of flight being just over three hours. The flight ticket was purchased online and only two days a week were available . The ticket to Tarawa was for Thursday in order to stay for 10 days. The airplane of Fiji airways was a small one, yet with great service worth the price of the ticket we purchased. We wanted to stay in Kiribati longer but unfortunately we could not rebook our return ticket.
Visiting a colleague in Tarawa with a return ticket
My former colleague settled in Kiribati and invited me to visit her at her atoll, Tarawa. I flew with an airfare ticket Los Angeles to Hawaii, with another ticket from Hawaii to Fiji and then on to Tarawa. The return ticket for the six lags was quite expensive, and when I decided to change the flight dates later, I could not. I could only cancel the whole ticket. I traveled to Tarawa in May and spent two months in Tarawa and its surrounding area. Tarawa is a true paradise, it was definitely worth the ticket. If I find a cheaper ticket, I will try to visit Tarawa with my son again next year.
