My mother and I departed from Los Angeles on Air Tahiti Nui(ATN) on an over night flight. We exchanged about $150 USD for XPF at the LA airport for a $6 charge. We wanted to pay cabs and food upon arrival in XPF. You can exchange money on the ship for a great rate!

ATN Flight-The seats were comfortable a dinner was served around 1am and breakfast around 3:30-4am. Both were good. The flight was a little bumpy. ATN gave out blankets, pillows, head phones, night mask, socks and ear plugs to each passenger. There were 8 different movies to watch.
