Best Programs for Booking Award Flights to Tahiti<\/span><\/h2>\n
Of these routes, the best options for using points and miles are the flights operated by Air France, Air Tahiti Nui, and United.<\/p>\n
Hawaiian Airlines' route from Honolulu is a viable option, but award availability is harder to come by \u2014 especially in business class. Plus, if you're not already located in Hawaii, you'll first have to book a flight from the continental United States.<\/p>\n
That said, there is a decent redemption option from Honolulu to Tahiti via JetBlue. You'll only have to pay 20,000 TrueBlue points (plus nominal taxes and fees) for a non-stop economy flight from Honolulu to Tahiti. In other words, you might find value in combining a trip to Hawaii and Tahiti.<\/p>\n

Air Canada Aeroplan<\/span><\/h3>\n
As a function of both cost and ease with which you can earn miles, Air Canada Aeroplan<\/a> is one of the best programs for booking flights to Tahiti. Air Canada belongs to Star Alliance, so you can use Aeroplan points to book flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Papeete (PPT) on United Airlines.<\/p>\n
Awards cost just 35,000 points in economy or 55,000 points in business class \u2014 though the latter is hard to find.<\/p>\n

Air France\/KLM Flying Blue<\/span><\/h3>\n
Air France operates flights to Tahiti from Los Angeles (LAX), and you can book tickets on this flight through the Flying Blue program<\/a>. If you can find availability, you can book these awards for just 27,500 miles in economy, 40,000 miles in premium economy, or 89,000 miles in business class.<\/p>\n
Credit: Air France<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n You can alternatively book these awards through partner programs like Delta SkyMiles<\/a> and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club<\/a>, but the pricing is far higher than you'll find with Flying Blue. Moreover, Flying Blue miles are easy to earn via several transfer partners, so this should be your go-to option if you want to fly Air France to Tahiti.<\/p>\n
