Ok here it is... a very positive review (despite not so great weather) from two early 30-somethings. Enjoy!

Pre-cruise --

We took Air France LAX to PPT on the red eye 2/9. The flight was delayed about 45 minutes as we waited for a flight from Paris to arrive with a bunch of connecting passengers. Despite the delays we found Air France to be a pretty good airline. They did not have the individual movie screens as I hear Air Tahiti Nui does but the food was great. The only complaint about the air experience was that we specifically picked Air France because it is a part of the Skyteam and as Platinum OnePass members on Continental we were expecting some benefits. Well the whole Sky Team Alliance does not work and we were afforded none of the benefits that we were told we would get and when we asked about them the staff had no idea what we were talking about. We arrived to bright blue, sunny skies in Papeete about 6:30 a.m. on 2/10 and even though most of the passengers were from France and the line to check US passports was much shorter, it took quite a while to get through as we stood on line in the very hot airport. Once all that airport business was taken care of and we breathed a sigh of relief that all our luggage made it, we were on our way! Read more
