Pack Your Bags: You Can Now Fly Direct from Melbourne to Vanuatu!

You can now hop on a plane from Melbourne and land in Vanuatu just a few hours later thanks to Air Vanuatu’s new Melbourne – Port Vila service.

The flights operate year-round, three times weekly, with departures on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays leaving Melbourne Tullamarine Airport at 7am and flying direct to sunny Vanuatu.

With a flight time of just over four hours, you’ll get into Port Vila at 12.30pm local time – just in time for a lazy lunch on the beach! It’s also perfect for those catching onward connections to Espiritu Santo (SON) or Tanna (TAH).

Heading back to Melbourne, services are operating on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with a 4pm departure, arriving into Melbourne at a very reasonable 8.15pm.

Fly in style in Air Vanuatu’s Boeing 737-800, providing eight business-class seats and 162 economy seats. Baller enough to fly business class? You’ll also have access to luxury Melbourne Airport lounge The House ahead of your flight.

From the fire and fury of an active volcano to the vivid colours of tropical reefs, the vast swathes of untouched rainforest, incredible blue holes and the soothing sound of waves lapping the shore – there are so many reasons to visit Vanuatu.
