Back-to-School Season Is Fast Approaching: Time to Plan Your Return from Vacation
With a reduced flight schedule in place, it’s crucial to carefully plan your trip to avoid any unpleasant surprises. For a smooth return, follow our tips!
Book Your Tickets as Early as Possible
Ideally, you should book your tickets as far in advance as you can, especially if your trip coincides with a high-demand period like the back-to-school season. Booking early ensures you’ll have seats available for your desired travel dates and allows you to choose from the different fare classes we offer. Select the option that best suits your budget and the fare conditions you prefer. Currently, there is still availability for the weekend before school starts, but tickets are selling fast. Don’t wait—book now!
Plan an Early Departure for Peace of Mind
Due to the reduced flight schedule since the resumption of commercial operations, the airline’s capacity remains limited, and transport times may be extended in case of contingencies. This is especially true during cyclone season. We strongly recommend planning your departure as early as possible. Leave enough leeway to account for unexpected events (weather conditions, delays, flight changes) to ensure you reach your destination on time.
Prepare Well for Your Trip
Finally, make sure all aspects of your journey are well-organized:
- Before leaving, ensure all necessary documents are ready: a valid ID and your ticket (either printed or saved on your smartphone).
- Be mindful of the baggage allowance stated on your ticket. If you plan to bring more luggage than allowed, consider purchasing the extra baggage option online or through our call center agents.
- Arrive at the airport at the designated check-in time. Be punctual or opt for online check-in to save time. This way, you can manage the check-in process, security checks, and boarding without feeling rushed. Arriving early helps reduce the stress of potential delays.
By following these tips, you can approach the back-to-school season with ease and fully enjoy your return trip.

Air Calédonie inaugurates its new Nouméa La Tontouta – Port-Vila route!
The inaugural flight of our new Nouméa – Port-Vila route took place this Thursday, October 3rd! It allowed around a hundred passengers to travel between the two territories. This first rotation marks the beginning of a strategic phase for Air Calédonie, with the launch of a regular connection between New Caledonia and Vanuatu, now available every Monday and Thursday.
This new service reflects our desire to expand connections in the Pacific region and strengthen economic and tourism ties between our two territories. We would like to thank our passengers for their trust and acknowledge the remarkable work of our teams who made this new route possible. We would also like to extend our warm thanks to everyone who participated in the wonderful welcome we received upon our arrival in Port Vila.
We are confident that this new destination will offer great opportunities for regional development, while making travel easier for our passengers.
