Can I get a direct flight to Palau?

Palau is a country set across a number of islands best known for its untouched natural landscape and stunning waters surrounding it. One of the most popular attractions in the country is at its fantastic scuba diving opportunities with its clear blue waters and thriving marine life. There are also plenty more things to do in the ocean whether it’s a relaxing kayaking trip around an island or some snorkeling in shallow waters for all the family. On land there are also many more adventures to be had including hiking around the beautiful wilderness, or if you are looking for a more laid-back trip you can simply relax on a quiet beach and enjoy the sunshine.

Arriving In Palau

The main airport serving Palau is Roman Tmetuchl International Airport, although the airport also goes by the name of Palau International Airport. The airport itself is located just 6 km away from Koror and 25 km away from the capital Ngerulmud. The airport primarily handles regional flights and does not have any direct connections to the UAE, so travelers based in the UAE looking to travel to Palau will need to make a stopover somewhere.

Roman Tmetuchl International Airport is set within a single terminal complex and offers only a basic range of amenities, so don’t forget to bring any essential items you desperately need along with you. When your flight has touched down at the airport you can find taxis available just outside of the terminal building, or you may want to prearrange private transportation yourself.
