Using Orbitz, you'll find some of the most affordable flight deals around from a wide selection of airlines. But if you're eager to heighten your chances of picking up cheap flights to Cook Islands, here are a few tips to bear in mind:

  • Depending on where you're coming from, choose the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival options). Oftentimes, other departure points work out cheaper.
  • If your travel plans aren't written in stone, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to check out the flight deals for a selection of departure dates. If you find a suitable cheaper fare, go with it.
  • To refine your results, hit 'Show options.' You can search based on seating class, airlines, nonstop flights and refundable flights. You can also select your preferred departure and arrival times under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
  • If you know your travel dates, get booking. Prices usually get more expensive as the departure date nears.
  • Save more on your trip by combining your flights, hotels and car rental into a package with Orbitz. Your bank account will thank you.
  • If you can, don't travel during the busy season. Airfares soar during summer, school breaks and other vacation periods like Easter and Thanksgiving.

What is the best time to book a flight to Cook Islands?

What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Cook Islands?
Make a booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. Typically, these are the cheapest days of the week to purchase seats to Cook Islands. The vacation of your dreams starts with a terrific flight deal!
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Cook Islands?
Look into leaving early in the week if you want to score cheap flights to Cook Islands. Orbitz data from 2020 shows Monday is normally the most affordable day to start your trip, followed by Tuesday. Saturdays were shown to have the most expensive ticket prices. This is probably because many travelers prefer to start their escape when the weekend rolls around.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Cook Islands?
If you're flexible with your travel plans, think about jetting off during August. Orbitz data shows that this is generally the best month to travel if you're after cheap flights to Cook Islands. As you would imagine, fares climb in the busy month of June and flights get snapped up quickly.

What do I need for the flight to Cook Islands?
The trick to having a seamless flying experience is to come prepared. Below are some tips to bear in mind before you depart:

  • In all cases you'll need a form of identification. How much? This depends on where you're flying from. When reserving your flight tickets, you are encouraged to type in the same name, gender and birth date as indicated on your government-issued ID.
  • Take a good book or a laptop crammed with your favorite TV shows — it'll help to pass time on your journey to Cook Islands. Or if you'd prefer to enjoy a nap, an eye mask will shield you from those bright cabin lights.
  • Cabin temperatures can change rapidly, so it's wise to dress in comfortable layers. Consider compression socks too. They can help prevent your legs from getting achy.

There are ways of booking business or first-class airfares to Cook Islands that won't burn a hole through your wallet. Bag a seat in the pointy end of the plane for less with these great tips:

  • Flexibility isn't just a yoga thing. Have some room to move around your travel dates so you can snap up more affordable airfares when a big sale drops.
  • Plenty of budget airlines have quality business or premium-class seating without the pricey fees.
  • Make a bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a flight rewards program.

Arrange your trip for March, April and May. These are very popular months to travel to Cook Islands. Starting December 1, the summer climate makes this destination truly shine. Temperatures normally range from 80 ºF at night to 80 ºF during the day at this time of year.
