Many visitors travelling to the Australasia or Oceania region begin their tour by flying to one of the major international airports in Australia or New Zealand. From Perth in the west of Australia to Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island, direct flights are available from many points of origin around the world. From these airports, smaller regional carriers offer flights to destinations around the region. In countries such as Australia and New Zealand you'll find a full range of transportation options on offer, from public buses to trains, taxis and hire cars. On the smaller islands scattered throughout the region, including Fiji, Micronesia, Samoa and Vanuatu, transport options are usually more limited, with buses, shared-vans and three-wheeled rickshaws being popular.
