However, travelers on Delta's basic economy can bring one free carry-on.
Despite the limitations of basic economy, a $600 trip from Los Angeles to Tahiti is inexpensive given that, according to Google Flights, the cheapest fares to the French Polynesian island range from $910 to $2,300.
Your cost will increase to $750 if you want to upgrade to Delta's main cabin fare for an extra $150.
