Hi, I am looking at starting a GE from Tonga (TBU). Why TBU? (a) Nice place to visit, (b) cheap, at under $1500 USD pre-tax in Y.

My ideal start point would be AKL, so TBU is actually not too far out of the way for me (AKL-TBU o/w is about USD$150) and it doesn't have seasonal restrictions.

Question - has anyone started a GE in TBU? Is there a hidden downside? Any recommendations for travel agents? Other advice in general...

Thanks.
