Helping travelers to find the best flight offers

Bring Solomon Islands dollars before you land: Fera’s tiny airstrip has no ATMs or exchange, and the nearest cash is across the water in Buala. For the best rates and fewer fees, withdraw in Honiara and carry small notes for boats and market stalls.
No-frills and friendly, Fera Island has no duty‑free on site—save your browsing for the next international terminal on your route. Expect the best deals on spirits and fragrances after security at your connection, with hours tied to flight schedules and access for departing (and sometimes arriving) passengers.
Small and no-frills, Fera Island’s airstrip rarely offers more than a pop-up snack stall by the little shelter, so plan to bring something or eat in Buala across the channel. When vendors do show, expect fresh coconuts, buns, and instant coffee at local prices, with sit-down meals available only in town.
Basic first aid is on hand around flight times at Fera Island’s tiny terminal, with friendly staff ready to help and call onward care. For prescriptions or formal tests, take the short boat across to Buala’s clinic/pharmacy—bring essentials and some cash.
No fixed lockers at Fera Island Airport, but short-term safekeeping is usually arranged at the check-in desk and longer holds with guesthouses in nearby Buala for a small cash fee. Bring photo ID, expect simple claim tags, and plan around flight-time opening hours.
Settle into a single shaded waiting shelter by check‑in—simple benches, a light breeze, and a relaxed island pace—while everyone shares the same space (there’s no formal lounge). Bring a power bank and a snack, as Wi‑Fi, showers, and 24‑hour access aren’t available.

Address
Fera Island Airport, Fera Island, Buala, Isabel Province, Solomon Islands (no street address or postal code available)
Fera Island Airport (IATA: FRE) is a compact regional airstrip serving Isabel Province in the Solomon Islands, opened in the 1970s and centered around a single small terminal that handles domestic services and charter flights. As a modest but vital gateway to Fera and nearby communities, the airport links to Honiara and other island destinations, with most travelers relying on short scheduled hops and local boat transfers to reach Buala and surrounding villages. Facilities are basic, making it more of a low-cost, no-frills option for travelers; Solomon Airlines and several local charter operators provide the most frequent connections rather than hosting a major hub.
