The beautiful summer vacation has given way to the calm of the back-to-school period. And while some have decided to wait for the next vacation to plan their next trip, for others, traveling during off-peak periods can be a very advantageous alternative.

Make great savings

The main reason why you should choose to travel during off-peak periods is to be able to benefit from the best rates. Indeed, during periods of high traffic, demand is high. Consequently, the best rates are highly sought after and availability quickly disappears. By choosing to travel during off-peak periods, you can take advantage of our best rates on air tickets and benefit from more availability on the dates you have selected. You can, for example, take advantage of the Super Loisir or Loisir fare to travel at a reduced price. Additionally, you can also take advantage of better deals and promotions for accommodation and tourist activities. If you want an all-inclusive stay, contact our approved agencies for the organization of your next vacation. Our partner travel agencies will offer you their best deals including flights and accommodation.

More serenity at the destination

Traveling during off-peak periods can also offer the advantage of visiting our destinations while enjoying more tranquility because they are less crowded than during peak periods. You will appreciate visiting the must-see places of our destinations in peace, especially those popular with vacationers like the “marmites” of Cap des Pins in Lifou or the natural pool on the Isle of Pines. Far from the frenzy of vacations or long weekends, this will also be an opportunity to discover your destination in a more authentic way and to mingle more with the local culture.

Favorable weather conditions

Finally, traveling during off-peak periods can also offer the advantage of enjoying more favorable weather conditions. Avoid the heat of December and January and choose instead to travel during the cool season, which will be just as pleasant. The months of May and June seem to be the most favorable periods for travel if you want to travel during off-peak periods: the cyclone season will have ended and the temperatures are still very mild before the start of the cool season.

Traveling during off-peak periods can offer you many advantages. If you are flexible on your travel dates, we strongly encourage you to consider this option for your next trip!

I book !

It’s been several weeks since you booked your trip on our lines, but here it is: a few days before the trip, you spot an error in your reservation. No worries. Depending on the ticket you have chosen, you will be able to modify your plane ticket online, but under certain conditions.

Check the conditions of your plane ticket

It is quite possible to modify a plane ticket after booking. For this, it will be necessary that the conditions of the purchased ticket provide for it. At Air Calédonie, apart from promotional tickets, most tickets can be changed, either before departure, after departure or both, depending on the fare class. So, it is better to opt for the Full Price, Standard or Leisure fare class to anticipate a possible change of program because these are the ones that offer you the most flexibility! Please note: only changes to dates or times are possible.

Change your plane ticket online, step by step

After verification, you can change your plane ticket online.
To do this, connect to your personal space on our site using the identifiers you used to book your ticket. Once you are logged in, your booking(s) should then appear. To select the reservation to modify, click on the number indicated in the “reservation code” column. You will then see the details of the tickets for this reservation: flight number, departure and arrival times, prices, name of the passenger(s), etc. At the top right, a “Manage booking” button is available. After clicking this button, select “Edit Flight”. You will then be automatically redirected to our booking engine where you can select your new date or new flight times. If the fare of your new ticket is higher than that of your original ticket, then you will be asked to pay the difference. You can then confirm your new reservation, which will then be displayed in your personal space. However, if you change your mind, you can also cancel your modification request before confirming it and maintain your trip as planned.

To remember

While you can easily change the date and times of your flights, it is not possible to change the name of the reservation, nor change the destination. If you want to fly to another of our destinations or change the passenger(s), then it will be best to cancel your booking and make a new one.

If necessary, our sales teams remain at your disposal and will be happy to accompany you in your efforts, either in the agency or by telephone at 25.21.77.
