The first two connecting flights will vary according to the airlines while the third or last connection to American Samoa will be via Honolulu, Hawaii with Hawaiian Airlines.
Pago Pago
Pago Pago is the capital of American Samoa though is by no means a large city! Visitors arriving on flights from the UK will land approximately 16 miles (25km) from the ‘town’ and many of the hotels in the area offer some kind of airport pick up if you’ve already arranged your accommodation in advance. Even if you haven’t made arrangements the hotels would be more than happy to collect you with the promise of you staying a night or two!
The main features of Pago Pago are the harbour and the mountains surrounding it, making this an attractive place to spend some time. A popular pastime is to climb to the summit of Mount Alava for wonderful views. This area is part of the National Park of American Samoa which spans across the main island which Pago Pago is on (called Tatuila) as well as parts of two other islands, Ofu and Ta’u.
As well as hiking up the mountains and in the rainforests, American Samoa National Park is popular for scuba diving and snorkelling along the coral reefs
Ofu-Olosega
Ofu and Olosega are volcanic islands connected by a narrow strait. The island is best known for its stunning beaches and sharp, steep peaks which are garnished with lush green forests. These are said to be among the most spectacular beaches in the South Pacific.

The Tourist Attractions of American Samoa
American Samoa is fairly typical of many tourist destinations in the South Pacific – beautiful yet rugged coastlines with volcanoes rising upwards from them; stunning beaches and appealing blue seas. All these features make American Samoa an attractive holiday destination, though the difficulty in getting here from the UK has hindered its popularity with the British. You can look at this one of two ways: either you forget about American Samoa because getting here is too much hassle! Or, you make the effort to come here because you’ll find it’s far quieter than some other popular South Pacific islands!Pago Pago
