Air Tahiti Nui to offer year-round flights between French Polynesia and Paris via Seattle

Travelers looking for an exotic getaway will soon have another reason to visit French Polynesia, as Air Tahiti Nui has announced it will be offering year-round flights between French Polynesia and Paris via Seattle. This new route will offer more options to those who want to explore the stunning scenery and crystal-clear waters of French Polynesia. With the airline’s existing route connecting Papeete to Los Angeles with onward service to Paris, passengers will be able to fly from Tahiti to France seven days a week starting in June.

TL;DR:

• Air Tahiti Nui is extending its Seattle-Paris service into the next winter season, connecting French Polynesia to Paris via Seattle all year long.
• The airline will start extending the connection to Paris on June 13 and offer the service twice a week.
• Starting in June, passengers will be able to fly from Tahiti to France seven days a week via Air Tahiti Nui’s two routes connecting Papeete to Los Angeles and Seattle.
• The airline’s decision to make the service a year-round thing comes from the great response it is getting from the market already.
• Air Tahiti Nui will be the only carrier to offer nonstop flights between the South Pacific, the Pacific Northwest, and France.

Air Tahiti Nui extends Seattle-Paris service to offer year-round flights

Air Tahiti Nui is set to offer year-round flights between French Polynesia and Paris via Seattle starting this June. The airline will extend its Seattle-Paris service, first announced in October, into the next winter season, and will offer the service twice a week. This new route complements Air Tahiti’s existing route connecting Papeete to Los Angeles with onward service to Paris, allowing passengers to fly from Tahiti to France seven days a week starting in June. According to Mathieu Bechonnet, the airline’s managing director, Air Tahiti Nui decided to make the service a year-round thing due to the great response it is getting from the market already. The airline will be the only carrier to offer nonstop flights between the South Pacific, the Pacific Northwest, and France, but airlines have been ramping up connections between the US and the South Pacific region lately. For instance, starting in May, Hawaiian Airlines will start flying to Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands, and Delta started connecting Los Angeles and French Polynesia in December.

New route provides more options for travelers to French Polynesia

It’s worth noting that French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity of France, which makes Air Tahiti Nui effectively a French carrier with all the rights to fly to France. Although the French Polynesia-France route via the US may look like a fifth freedom route, in which one nation’s airline transports passengers between two foreign countries, Air Tahiti Nui is entitled to offer such a route.

Conclusion

Air Tahiti Nui’s year-round flights between French Polynesia and Paris via Seattle offer travelers more options to visit this beautiful destination. This new route is also a great opportunity for those planning to explore the Pacific Northwest. With the increasing number of flights between the US and the South Pacific region, travelers can easily plan their dream vacations.
