Day 14: E Ticket Ride Mar 03

” Mr. Roarke, da plane, da plane!” exclaimed Tattoo.
Sorry, I just couldn’t resist the reference to the t.v show Fantasy Island (1978-1984) as we depart for one – or several.

The aircraft taxis in and we wait for passengers to deplane before climbing aboard. There is no formal airport security, no baggage screening, usually no seat assignments. You can even sit directly behind the pilot and co-pilot and watch them as they work. There is no heavy locked door, in fact, there is no door at all.

Pacific Sun Air

For those of you who remember back when Disney World rated its attractions and rides with a letter system A through E, this would be an E Ticket ride, one of the most thrilling. Views from either side of the small plane as we fly northeast from Viti Levu are dramatic. The aircraft banks and makes quite a steep angle descent toward the landing strip as it arrives on the second largest island of Vanua Levu or the third largest island of Taveuni both in the northern area of Fiji.
