Flying is the easiest way to experience the paradise that is French Polynesia. The great thing about flying in French Polynesia is that most flights take 10 – 20 minutes! During my 2 months here, the longest flight I had was less than 2 hours. With the Air Tahiti Multi Island flight pass you can visit French Polynesia’s best islands for a discounted price.
Currently there are 8 different Multi Island flight passes to 4 of French Polynesia’s archipelagos. Each flight pass will take you to a handful of stunning islands. All you have to do is decide which one is right for you! And if you can’t find the perfect air pass, you can customize your own route.
When booking an Air Tahiti Multi Island flight pass you must start and end your pass in Tahiti or Moorea. You can only visit each selected island once before finishing your air pass. The longest duration your pass can be good for is 28 days. If you are staying in French Polynesia longer you will need multiple air passes or to book individual flights. With Air Tahiti you are allowed 1 carry on item of 5 kg or less and one checked bag of 23 kg or less.
Make sure you have travel insurance when booking your return flight home from French Polynesia or to your next travel destination, air strikes are common in French Polynesia. You do not want to be stranded on an island, missing your flight out of the country.
Flying with Air Tahiti might not be the cheapest way to get around French Polynesia but it is the most convenient. Flying over this part of the world is completely stunning, words cannot describe the beauty of the island dotted ocean from the air.
If you are visiting French Polynesia for a short time or you know what islands you want to see, I would recommend booking the Multi Island flight pass to save money. If you are spending a lot of time here, you plan on joining a sailing crew or hopping on a cargo ship, a one way flight is still a decent option to at least get to your main destination.
