You have choices when it comes to reaching Apataki. Here is a selection of 4 airports you can fly to when travelling to Apataki.
Rarotonga International Airport
This gateway to the Cook Islands, located about 850 kilometres southwest of Apataki, might seem like an unexpected choice. However, it boasts excellent connections from major hubs like Los Angeles (LAX), Auckland (AKL), and Sydney (SYD), often with shorter layovers compared to other options. From Rarotonga, you can hop on a connecting flight with Air Tahiti to reach Apataki directly, making your journey smoother and potentially faster.
Faa'a International Airport
As the largest airport in French Polynesia, Faa'a International Airport offers ample connections from various international hubs like Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Paris (CDG). However, keep in mind that connecting flights to Apataki from PPT might involve longer layovers and potentially higher costs compared to Rarotonga.
Rangiroa Airport
This airport on the coral atoll of Rangiroa, about 330 kilometres northwest of Apataki, serves as a regional hub with frequent connections to Tahiti (PPT). While this option involves more "island hopping," it could be suitable if you want to explore Rangiroa's vibrant underwater world before reaching Apataki. Air Tahiti operates regular flights between Rangiroa and Apataki.
Atiu Airport
This smaller airport on Atiu Island, around 760 kilometres southwest of Apataki, caters to more adventurous travellers seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience. While flight options are limited, the unique charm of Atiu and its connection to Rarotonga (RAR) with Air Rarotonga could be an interesting addition to your journey, offering a chance to explore another Cook Island gem before reaching Apataki.
