1 travel credit = 1 trip
By using the Flight Card, if you book in advance, or if you can travel at low demand flight times, or even if you buy your tickets during our promotional offers, you will travel at unbeatable prices, since you can deduct your travel credits from already low public prices!
If you have to book at the last minute, you can still benefit from your flight credit on the fare classes still available for sale at the last minute!
You are in control of your expenses and can therefore manage your travel budget.
Tips
If you travel a lot, take advantage of our promotional offers or our Super Leisure by anticipating your trips, and use your travel credits when you need to book at the last minute! You will therefore have attractive prices all year round!!!
You can also choose to manage your round trip fare by using a travel credit only on the outward or on the return trip!
Another significant advantage: you benefit from the conditions of the chosen fare class. Your tickets can therefore be refundable and/or modifiable without penalty.

The Flight Card is a subsidized system set up by the Government of New Caledonia as part of the Continuité Pays.
The government of New Caledonia offers permanent residents of the islands (Isle of Pines and Loyalty Islands) the benefit of 10 travel credits per year with the Flight Card.
The “Flight Card” is valid for 1 year from January 1st to December 31st.
It allows you to benefit from transport assistance for the time of its validity.
You can book tickets with your travel credit quota until December 31, even if you are traveling the following year. Think about it!
You must meet certain conditions to benefit from the Flight Card, starting with being a resident of the islands.
Air Calédonie is in charge of distributing cards for the government.

Access to making appointments (file deposit/collection of cards) – Make an appointment
If you cannot make yourself available for the appointment you have scheduled, please take the time to cancel it. This will allow another waiting beneficiary to be able to pick up their card and thus reduce waiting times.
In a few clicks from a computer or mobile phone, you can buy your ticket or that of your loved ones while benefiting from government assistance.
To do this, you must first have followed the steps to be a Flight Card beneficiary (see below) and carefully keep your card on which the profile number is mentioned. It is thanks to this number, which must be entered during the online reservation, that each of the passengers concerned will be able to choose to use their travel credits. The sales engine analyzes the profiles, checks the balance of available credits and checks the island of residence, if everything is in order, the details are displayed in the options page.
