Need help

Hey, maybe somebody is able to help. I have to get to Noumea, New Caledonia between 26 of December to 30 of December of this year on a one-way for an internship. Have been too late booking flights and now can’t find any for less than 1400€. Would be super grateful for help!!!

yes, very likely a route for you from Europe to Noumea arriving between 26 of December to 30 December can be done for less than 1400€.
Where in Europe are you departing from? I hope it's a low cost of living departure airport such as Athens, Cyprus, or Milan.
When is the earliest you can depart from Europe?

Ah thought I mentioned. Departing from Germany, best case Düsseldorf. Wouldn’t want to travel on 24, any other day fine

997€ flight is possible for your dates.
28 December fly Frankfurt to Bangkok on Turkmenistan Airlines departing 1650 and arriving 1150 the next day, then the overnight Bangkok to Noumea direct flight on Aircalin to arrive 0630 in Noumea on 30 December.
If you want this route, get the tickets fast as i believe there is only one economy seat remaining for this route now. Also the Turkmenistan Air website is faulty i believe you must go through a travel agency or 3rd party to book this last seat.

Maybe it's worth mentioning where you are flying from? I'm guessing you're from Europe so the cheapest option would most likely be from Paris if you want to fly on a single ticket. Alternatively you could fly to Bangkok or Singapore, spend a night or two there and then go on to New Caledonia but this requires booking two separate tickets.

Thought I mentioned. Düsseldorf best case but looked at Paris as well which seems cheaper

I believe the Sydney to Noumea flights are not returning to normal schedule until early 2025 I read. I assume limited frequency may explain high prices in/out of other major airports with flights to noumea (mainly Auckland and Tokyo). Hopefully in 2025 things start to improve in nouvelle caledonie
