Managing Director & CEO, John Campbell, today announced that Air Pacific will re-introduce weekly flights between Nadi and Kiritimati (Christmas) Island, and on to Honolulu from Tuesday, 22nd June 2010.  

The flight will operate with a Boeing 737-700 aircraft with 8 seats in Tabua Business Class and 110 in Pacific Voyager Economy Class.  The new flights will add a third weekly Nadi-Honolulu service to make travel throughout the South Pacific even easier.

The northbound schedule for the new flight provides connections from Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, Tarawa, Tonga and Suva.  The southbound flights will provide easy connections back to Suva and next day connections to Tarawa, thereby linking the two principal islands of Kiribati.

The new flight schedule is:

Departs 11:59pm   Arrives 6:35am Wednesdays

Wednesdays - Christmas Island to Nadi        FJ823

Visas are no longer required for entry into Kiritimati for most countries around the world, although immigration charges of AU$20 for departure will be applied.

***************************

If you have ever dreamt of visiting what is arguably the best bonefishing location in the world, this is the perfect opportunity.  The experience is as close as you could get to utopia for the sight casting junkie.

On previous trips, even novices who had never cast a flyrod managed to land over 50 of these magnificent sportfish.

For those wanting an extra challenge, the lagoon also hosts some monster GT's (up to 100lb). The sight of one of these fish taking a fly in skinny water will turn even the most calm fisherman into a jibbering mess. As well, there are  Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Sailfish, Milkfish and many other tropical reef species that will test your skills, stamina and gear.

The lodge cost for groups of 4 to 12 fisherman are as follows:

from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010 - prices from $2,350 AUD

Included in the price is:-

• Six and a half days fishing (first day fish 10am to 5pm, other days 7am to 5pm). Fishing on departure day is not included.

• Groups of 6 to 12 fishers are hosted.

• All meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner plus free water).
