 How
many people are entitled to travel on this vacation
offer?
The Tahiti Bonus Travel offer was designed for
up to four (4) passengers to travel together.
You are entitled to purchase two fully paid
tickets and two tickets at the 50% discount
for the same itinerary. If you have more than
four people traveling at the same time, one
of our knowledgeable agents will be happy to
help you with any additional airline reservations
you might require at the time of booking.
Top
We
want to take our children with us. Can they
get the same airfare?
As long as it does not exceed the maximum number
of passengers (four for this offer) you may purchase
for children too.
Top
How
much will the tickets cost?
Rates vary depending on the time of year and
the availability for the dates you select.
Top
I
saw a deal on-line for Tahiti; can you get me
that same airfare?
We will book you the lowest non-promotional
airfare through our contracted suppliers at
the time of your travel. Just remember that
you will be saving 50% off the second ticket.
Top
Where
do I fly into when I arrive in Tahiti?
You will arrive at the capital city of Papeete
on the northwest coast of the island of Tahiti.
Top
If
I want to visit other islands, how do I get
there?
Inter island travel within the islands of French
Polynesia is easy. They offer modern airstrips,
well-paved highways, boats and ferries, and
a bus system. Most methods of transport are
affordably priced and even though you are on
an island, they tend to run on time. There are
also plenty of taxis, referred to as "Le
Truck" which are usually mini-trucks with
seats in the back.
Top
How
long does it take to get there from Los Angeles?
Tahiti is just a 7 1/2-hour flight from Los
Angeles. The island is situated just south of
the equator, about half way between Australia
and South America. Tahiti is in the same time
zone as Hawaii, but since it is in the Southern
Hemisphere, the seasons are reversed.
Top
Do
you take care of my hotel and car?
This Bonus offer is only for discount airfare from
Los Angeles to Tahiti. However, our travel professionals
will gladly assist you with your hotel and/or
a car, or any other travel requirements you
may have.
Top
What
if I decide to stay longer than I originally
purchased? Will that be OK?
Changes are not allowed on these special fares.
Once ticketed, you must travel on the itinerary
that was confirmed for you.
Top
Do
I need a Passport to travel to Tahiti?
All passengers entering French Polynesia must
possess a valid passport and an outbound ticket.
(Your passport must be valid for six (6) months
beyond your scheduled return date.) A United
States "Green Card" is not considered
a travel document.
Top
My
minor children are going too. Do they need a
passport?
All travelers will be required to provide a
passport.
Top
Where
can I get a passport or travel visa?
You may want to visit the web site www.state.gov.
This site provides information on how to obtain
either of these documents. If you do not have
access to the Internet, check with your local
United States Post Office for the location near
you that has a Passport Office.
Top
How
long can I stay in Tahiti?
United States citizens may stay no more than
one (1) month without a visa. Visitors of other
nationalities should check with their nearest
French Consulate or Embassy for travel requirements.
Top
Do
I have to get any shots before I go?
Currently no immunizations against local disease are required to enter Tahiti.
Top
What
currency do they use in Tahiti?
The currency in Tahiti is the Central Pacific
Franc. The currency code is "XPF."
Please contact your local bank for the rate
of exchange and any other questions you may
have on how to obtain the Central Pacific Franc.
You should change your currency into CFP when
you get to Tahiti. Money can be exchanged at
the airport bank upon arrival, even in the middle
of the night, or later at a bank in any island
(banks charge a service fee). Hotels and some
businesses will change your currency, but not
at the bank rate.
Top
Can
I use American currency in Tahiti?
Some establishments will accept United States
dollars. But it is much easier to conclude transactions
if you have exchanged currency to the Central
Pacific Franc.
Top
Can
I use my credit card or traveler's check?
Most credit cards are widely accepted and cash
advances can be obtained from a bank. You will
be required to show your passport to cash a
traveler's check.
Top
What
is the weather like in Tahiti?
Since Tahiti is a tropical area, it is subject
to rainstorms throughout the year. There is
no "dry" season, and it may rain at
anytime. However, there are no monsoons or cyclones
and there is a LOT of sunshine. During the months
of October through the end of March, it is considered
their wet season. From April through September
it is generally drier.
Top
What
kind of clothes should I pack?
Casual style and since it is a warm climate
your clothing choices should be light. The evenings
also remain mild and you will seldom need more
than a light wrap. Don't forget plenty of sunscreen.
Top
What
time zone is Tahiti in?
Tahiti is two (2) hours behind Pacific Standard
Time. (Make it three (3) hours during the summer.)
Top

Angeles. We will be happy to arrange for travel
