USA to Micronesia.....any easy way?

CO Micronesia is the only airline that can get us to Chuuk and Palau, but they don't allow OA discounts on the routes.

The circle Micronesia pass is $1250 from HNL, does anyone know a cheaper way?

Thanks,

Nicola

Are you sure about the restriction as BA uses the ZED fares with CO and our agreement seems to say that CO Micronesia is included.

Britski,

I'm with AA. It looks like CO (Air Mike) is the only CO entity that is totally excluded. Maybe I will call them though-it might be old info.

Cheers!

I am with Delta and our agreement with CO is ID95 on Y06 fare. There is no reference to any diff with CO Micronesia. The DL Pass Burea also has nothing and our computer system will price and issue the ticket. Of course with self-ticketing agreements that doesn't mean much. My general experience with ID9x tickets is that if you show up at the airport with the paper pass in your hand and there are empty seats they don't ask questions! Of course in Micronesia you will want to know for sure before you get to Guam!!

Keep us posted.

I would encourage you to check with your staff travel office/pass bureau. I checked our agreement with Air Mike and its an ID90 with no embargos.

Some of the Air Mike flights are hard to even buy full fare seats on, let alone non-rev on them. The Honolulu Hopper is a classic example.

It seems like you may be coming from the U.S.A. given the ex HNL price for the pass you gave - going the other way may be a better bet.
If you can get to GUM, (see below) then there are bound to be GUM based agents on the www that will have bulk/wholesale cheapie deals on Air Mike from GUM to both Truk and Palau as seperate returns.
CO's website is showing these flights at about USD550.00 return each including taxes, so agents should be able to do better. More so with as much advance notice as possible.

If you're having trouble getting a nonrev agreement to GUM using Air Mike, then look at the other side of the Pacific and check your interline/zed agreements with JL, NW, OZ, KE, CA and probably others who all serve GUM from the far east. Some carriers may even serve Palau direct from the far east as well.
