French Polynesia and the low cost flights that you can buy, here are some examples of flights with Air France or Air Tahiti Nui to live a dream and literally arrive in paradise.
Heaven, at least on earth, can be reached low cost. I mean the very fine beaches, the sky-blue waters, the green mountains that seem brightly colored brushstrokes and the unspoiled nature of the islands of French Polynesia. Read the name of these places, very expensive par excellence, combined with words low cost makes a strange impression. Will it really be possible to reach the dream atolls of Bora Bora or Rangiroa, at an affordable price? With a few tricks, we can say that maybe ... it can be done!
Il flight to Papeete, the main city of the island of Tahiti, where all international flights arrive and where travelers are greeted by dancers and Ukulele players, is long and has at least two stopovers. One operated by the company to its main national airport and the other very often represented by a technical stopover, where you get off the aircraft just long enough for refueling, any change of crew and any procedures relating to safety and control.
If you decide to fly to French Polynesia, you are aware of having to fly to about 24 hours in total. So here is the justification of a price that is not too low, but almost inevitable. But what are the companies that allow us to save on our ticket to heaven on earth?
Air France it represents one of the most frequent connections to Polynesia. The flights can all be operated by the same carrier, or in collaboration with the adherents to the SkyTeam agreement, including Alitalia. In fact by booking a flight to Papeete, the travel to Paris it can be operated by both Alitalia and Air France. The trip then includes a second technical stop at Los Angeles, to finally leave direct to Papeete.
How much? Be careful because by booking in advance (even 6 months) and choosing what is the Polynesian "low season" - from October to March approximately - you can save a lot by paying for such a ticket. less than 2000 euros per person! I can dispel the myth of continuous rains during this period, having visited Polynesia in November where the sun was bright and very hot, except for a magical and romantic tropical downpour that did nothing but color the Moorea sky with a sparkling rainbow, ending later not even an hour.
Air Tahiti Nui is the official Polynesian company. The one that makes you start your journey with the smile and the scent of Tiare as soon as you get on board. The stewardesses wear flowery dresses throughout the flight, delivering fresh, fragrant white buds to all passengers. You will feel like you are already in Tahiti and the flight hours will be pleasant between a lunch and a chat on the seats colored by a blue sea.
Air Tahiti Nui flights are no more expensive than AirFrance, if booked at the right time. In fact, even this airline, booked from December to April, for example, offers tickets at approx 1800 euro per person. The stopovers are equivalent to AirFrance and that is Paris-Los Angeles-Papeete. Even by booking an AirTahitiNui flight you could find one of the routes operated by Alitalia, of course we are talking about those between Italy and Paris.
Through Skyscanner we can take a look and see that from Madrid, changing airport to Paris (From Charles De Gaulle to Orly) you can get a trip in April to 1700 euros per person A / R.
Higher prices with Iberia, British Airways, Singapore Airlines which in collaboration with Air New Zealand will make a stopover in Singapore (Changi Airport) and then in Auckland. Maybe for a different travel idea where you plan to stop in the equally fabulous New Zealand ... or to Tokyo or Santiago de Chile with a bet on Easter Island, if you want to choose other stopovers that connect Italy with Polynesia. But this is another story, or rather, another journey!
