 Yep It's a busy place Ofu
Airport Terminal! by Groverdean
They operate two aircraft - a 6 seater and a 15 seater which I travelled in both. The journey takes about 30-40 minutes to Ofu in the smaller one and 20-30 mins in the 15 seater. Cost from Pago Pago to Ofu Island return is expensive at 140 USD return. You will need to be flexible with this airline as they are still only new. I suggest if coming from far away contact them first. Details on the website below. Leave a Comment

 Local Bus on Tutuila -
American Samoa by Groverdean
If you don't have the time hire a car, or go with a tour company to see Tutuila.
When I arrived in Tutuila it was in the middle of a morning of excessive rain which meant I lost a good part of the day for sightseeing, due to roads flooding. I snapped this picture of a bus as we drove through some floodwater. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 The Bridge Between Ofu &
Olosega Islands by Groverdean
The bridge caters for one lane of traffic and you can easily walk across it. If you are game you can jump off it, a popular past time for the local kids. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 My Feet In American Samoa
In The Back Of A Pick-Up by Groverdean
Another option which I preferred was just hitching a lift in the back of a pick-up. All vehicles on the 2 islands are pick-up trucks, and hitching lifts, whether you're a tourist or a local, is commonplace. Sometimes however, a vehicle may not come past for an hour or two so still be prepared to do some walking! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Pago Pago buses by ollyf
Catch the buses either by flagging them down as they approach or at the main bus station in Pago Pago. Theme: Bus

I flew to Pago Pago from Apia in independent Samoa with Polynesian Airlines on board a tiny 19-seater plane. The journey is gorgeous, first flying over the rainforests of Upolu (independent Samoa) and then descending between the steep, volcanic mountains of Tutuila (American Samoa). The journey takes about 35 minutes and costs SAT380 (£75) for a round-trip. You can also fly with South Pacific Express from Apia, or catch a boat, although I don't have those details.
Internationally, you can fly to Pago Pago from Honolulu on Hawaiian Airlines.
Also, there is a boat between Apia and Pago Pago, but I don't know the details for this. Theme: Airplane

Taxis are cheap around Pago Pago, although not too plentiful (not like in independent Samoa, where they abound). A ride from the airport to the city centre (about 20 minutes' drive) will cost only about US$7.
In most instances, you can take a bus for even cheaper (see that section), but at night, to and from the airport, or to destinations not served by the buses, the taxis are certainly cheap enough. Theme: Other

 Aiga bus by sennaya |
Fly between Pago and the Manu'a Islands (Ofu and Ta'u airports) on the domestic carrier Inter-Island Airways, but book ahead as the tiny 19-seaters get booked up quickly.
I flew from Pago to Ofu, but unfortunately can't remember how much it cost. It was affordable, though. Theme: Airplane
