Flight arrival & Departure: Bonriki International Airport / Tarawa Kiribati / 18-2-13

During my 3rd visit in Tarawa & staying for 21 nights from the 14/02/13 to 07/03/13. I was staying at TAD'S GUESTHOUSE & the accommodation is only a 5 min's drive away from the Airport, with only two flights per week with AIR-PACIFIC on their BOEING 737-700 AIRCRAFT, Flight schedule are on Mondays & Thursdays & only a 3 hour direct flight from Nadi, this certainly is one of the highlights for many of the local people viewing the arrivals & departures, the departure flight leaves Nadi at 5am & 8am arrival into Tarawa, the departure time back to Nadi should be 9am, however these flights rarely leave on time & my flight departing Tarawa on the 07/03/13 was delayed for over 3 hours & missed my connecting flight back to Sydney Australia. Stayed in Nadi for one night [expense to the airline] & flying out direct to Sydney on the 08/03/13.
