Vanuatu’s main airport is Bauerfield International Airport (VLI), located in Port Vila on the island of Efate. Situated just 6 kms from Port Vila’s city centre, it’s incredibly easy to get to and from the airport. 

Most resorts and hotels offer airport transfers, or you can take a local taxi or minibus, which are affordable and easy to use. Plus, the short 10-15 minute drive makes everything a breeze. 

When is the cheapest time to fly to {destination}

Timing your flight correctly could result in substantial savings. The cheapest time to fly to Vanuatu is typically during its off-peak tourist season, which usually occurs around May. May falls just after Vanuatu’s wet season and just before winter holidays in Australia and New Zealand, so demand is lower. It’s a great time to explore Vanuatu when there are fewer tourists and crowds in the area. 

Avoid booking flights to Vanuatu in December, as it's one of the busiest travel periods of the year. With school holidays and the Christmas break, many families take the opportunity to travel. 

Visa/Passport requirements when flying to {destination}

No prearranged visa is required for Australian passport holders. You’ll receive a visitor permit on arrival that’s valid for 120 days — easy. 

How early to arrive at the airport

When travelling internationally, ensure you arrive at Brisbane Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This will ensure you have ample time to complete the Check-In and Security process. Plus, if you prefer to have a snack or walk around the shops before your flight, arriving 3 hours before gives you just enough time.
