p. 23 · Read in the full issue

Air Pacific’s website www.airpacific.com - has introduced the facility for customers to make online bookings for travel on its south-west Pacific and Pacific rim services as well as with partner airlines globally.

Customers can book Air Pacific flights to Fiji and other Pacific islands, Japan and the US West coast through the “Book Now” button on the website and can access the airline’s network for enquiries about when and where they want to travel.

The “Book Now” facility allows customers to find the best fare and best

schedule for their requirements.

“Once they’re satisfied with their inquiry they then can book and make payment through the Air Pacific booking facility with their credit card,” general manager sales and marketing Max Kruse said. “The customer will then receive confirmation of their booking by email.”

After confirmation all booking information would go to the nearest Air Pacific office for ticketing.

For bookings made three days before travel, tickets would be mailed to the customer, Kruse said. For travel within three days, tickets would be available at the airport where the

customer’s travel began with Air Pacifc.

“Air Pacific realises the benefit of the Internet for buying travel online and we’ve moved quickly to ensure we maintain pace with our customers’ needs,” Kruse said.

Air Pacific is the major regional airline in the southwest Pacific and the prime carrier on the australia-Fiji route with 22 weekly services as well as 12 New Zealand-Fiji services.

It also operates five Fiji-Los Angeles and three Fiji-Honolulu services weekly as well as two to Japan and others to Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu, Tahiti and the Solomon Islands. ■
