Does anybody know about cheap flights from Europe to Reunion? Thanks Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D.

From Europe there are only two airlines that fly there - (RUN = Roland Garros Airport St-Denis): Air Austral (Paris CDG, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse) Air France (Paris CDG) Air France is not that expensive and it offers good service. I have been on Air Austral from Johannesburg to Antanarivo some years back and their service was so-so, and it was expensive. Other connections would be possible via Johanesburg, Antananarivo and Mauritius, but these will be even more expensive, I guess. --- Exaggeration is a truth that has lost its temper... Travel!

The special is called "Unifare" but I could not find info about the conditions yet. This and my best source currently for airfares from Germany is www.reise-preise.de The airports website shows connections for the current day only. One would need to check this everyday for a week to find all possible flights: http://www.reunion.aeroport.fr/uk/index.htm --- Rudi "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan   rangutan Premium account Joined: Aug 04 Points: 30870 Posts: 960 Posted: 2008-04-17 16:01:00    Corsair, new partner of the TUI group, flies from Paris-Orly to "Isle d' Reunion" (not under "R" in the list) for €700 to €900 return and inclusive.

Welcome to see my Reunion page: http://www.kontynenty.net/Reunio.htm Do you know that four times a year the ship is departing from Reunion to French subantarctic islands? Sounds fascinating (at least to me!) Greetings! Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D.

The brought some amazing pictures! I understand that on Crozet the only buildings is the research station... --- Exaggeration is a truth that has lost its temper... Travel!
