I asked you guys about which airline to take down to Peru, and now I’ve got another question for you. The wife and I are heading to Tahiti for our honeymoon, but we aren’t going until next year. Which of the following two options would you choose? If you like something else entirely that we haven’t thought about, leave it in the comments. Keep in mind that we’ll be flying in Business Class.

This isn’t really a fair question… I don’t like Air France, so if given the choice, I might even suggest you take Air Tran… ok, maybe not.
You don’t provide enough information. Will you be paying with dollars for the tickets? If so, what FF programs do you collect miles in that would benefit from the credit? Etc. etc. :)
I wonder why more people are voting for Air France. Is it because some have never heard of Air Tahiti Nui or they can get mileage on AF? Look at it this way, how often can you say you’ve flown on Air Tahiti Nui.
I have flown on air france, and my dad on air thahiti, and we both agree that air france is beter. he said that air thahitis planes where preety bad. he likes AF better.
Fly Air France!
Air Tahiti Nui for experience and frequency. The trip starts at pushback, the flight attendants change into Tahitian garb. The business class seats are pretty old-style, but the service and the food is really quite good. TN operates more flights than anyone else, which should relieve concern on the reliability front. And as for miles, AA’s currency is worth far more than DL’s.
Unfortunately both airlines depart from the Tom Bradley terminal at LAX, otherwise that would tip the scales for me… :(
Air France operates from Terminal 2 at LAX.
I have never had a good experience on AF. That also includes 2 horrendous bumpings while non revving.
Once, I was on the jetway, my bags were loaded, and they called me out, tore up my tickets in front of me and said they were full. Of course my bags went to France, I went to bed, then to IAH the next day and then to France on a hellish flight.
Go with Nui, I’ve heard nothing but great experiences.
Air France uses T2 at LAX. I see their a/c very often when flying Air NZ.
I’d choose TN. Not too many people get the chance to fly TN, but anyone can go on AF. Or how about splitting it–TN going and AF coming back?
Flying Person – That would be ideal to split, but the cheapy business class fares are roundtrip. It would cost too much to split it, sadly.
Indeed re AF/TBIT, I should really check such things before opening my big mouth :)
Dan – The lounge thing doesn’t really matter much to me, but that’s a good point about seat availability. As of now, it looks good though.
Fish – It surprised me as well, but it looks like they’ve recently decided to start flying a 777 next year instead of the A340 that has been plying the route. It surprised me as well.
EXCELLENT choice for a honeymoon! My wife and I did Bora Bora and Moorea for ours in 2000 – and are planning on heading back for our ten-year. And – as mentioned – the overwater bungalow is a must.
Best wishes ….
I never flew Air Tahiti Nui so I would give it a try ! I like Air France though and have had excellent long haul flights in business with them and others medium. It varies from one crew to the other, but the cabin is nice and peacfull, entertainment good and food great !
