Are you planning on Avgas at Christmas? From memory it did not used to be available.
I used to fly the DC8 into Xmas. Runway is good and the highest terrain are the coconut trees so even if weather is bad you should get in. Having said that I never had a wx problem.
I don't think you will need to pay bribes on your planned route but be prepared to pay over the top for landing, etc (same thing really except you will get a receipt).
Good luck
