French Polynesia round-trip prices start at $600 through February.

DEALS - 26-01-2023


There are many flight discounts to Tahiti that we have noticed.
However, this agreement is noteworthy since it covers a large number of nearby islands in French Polynesia.


This offer also covers flights that may be booked as early as Thursday for travel through next month.
Traveling to Moorea or Bora Bora at the last minute?
Say less.


Flights to Papeete are generally around $600 one-way, whereas flights to the other islands all have layovers and cost between $550 and $800 one-way in economy class.

Flight examples 

The two flights to Papeete's Faaa International Airport (PPT), the nation's capital, are the best ones included in this package.


The first flight, which costs $589, leaves from San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
The cost of the alternate trip, which departs from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), is $602.
Both are nonstop, round-trip, basic economy rates that are not refundable.


One full-size carry-on bag is included with both rates.
To check a bag, though, add roughly $110 to $120.
Basic economy rates on United cannot be modified, however, passengers on Delta can do so for a cost.
Review the conditions for each fare category. 


If you live in LAX and don't mind purchasing through a third party or having a layover, take into account the following round-trip tickets, which were available at the time of writing for the prices indicated: 


    • Starting at $563, travel to Moorea Airport (MOZ). 
      
    • Starting at $728, to Raiatea Airport (RFP). 
      
    • Starting at $805, to Bora Bora Airport (BOB). 


All of these flights include a layover at PPT, which can last anywhere between 90 minutes and 10 hours.

In conclusion 

This is a sizable discount, especially for the flights to Papeete, as the typical cost for these trips exceeds $1,000.
