  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
