Air Tahiti Nui and its partner Alaska Airlines are opening a new access point to Polynesia and France from the United States

Air Tahiti Nui is now offering direct flights from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to PPT Tahiti and CDG Paris.

Our own Club Tiare Program allows travelers to earn miles toward free travel and upgrades on our flights to our operated destinations worldwide. We are very pleased to welcome Alaska Airlines mileage members who may earn miles when flying on Air Tahiti Nui as well as redeem free award tickets.

The Islands of Tahiti are perhaps the last Eden on Earth. The land we call home is, for us, a constant source of inspiration. It’s a land of calmness and relaxation. Legendary natural beauty and serenity captures forever the hearts of even the most seasoned travelers-just as it did with Bougainville, Cook and Gauguin to name a few. Privacy and seclusion draw honeymooners to unspoiled beaches and calm lagoons. Treasures, from black pearls to vanilla beans, to the smiles of a warm and joyful people, give a glimpse into the essence of Polynesia-a lifestyle that is culturally rich and diverse, attuned to its environment, safe and welcoming.

Dream a little Dreamliner – Air Tahiti Nui brings The Islands of Tahiti to the Air From the moment you step on-board Air Tahiti Nui’s Tahitian Dreamliner, you will be transported to The Islands of Tahiti. The French Polynesian carrier considered every detail to awaken its passengers’ senses, creating the feeling you are already on the Islands while 30,000 feet in the air.

A livery inspired by the Tahitian Spirit

The Tahitian Dreamliner is a new generation of aircraft imbued with the Mana of the Islands, with a design inspired by Polynesian symbols: Strength, Freedom, Protection, Continuity and Prosperity.

The most immersive cabin

The three shades of blue displayed in the cabins draw inspiration from the ocean, the lagoon, and the skies over The Islands Tahiti. From the Tahitian music played on-board to the Polynesian symbols evident throughout the aircraft and the wall panels showcasing iconic images of Bora Bora, the airline strives to be the world's most immersive travel experience. 

A sensory journey

Upon boarding Air Tahiti Nui’s Tahitian Dreamliners, each passenger is given a real, beautifully fragrant Tiare flower, a symbol of beauty and emblem of the islands, as a welcome gift. The smell of this sweet and warm Tahitian gardenia will immediately take you away. As you continue to walk onto the plane, you will hear the light, airy Polynesian music of ukuleles. Let these calming tones whisk you away from your troubles and realign your focus to simply relaxing and basking under the Tahitian sun. When it comes to onboard meals, Air Tahiti Nui’s Polynesian chefs have thought about your destination and created options that are meant to complement the new world that awaits you.

Innovations inspired by The Islands of Tahiti

The unspoiled beauty of The Islands of Tahiti may best be expressed in something visitors can't see: the clear, fresh air. On the Tahitian Dreamliner, the air goes through an innovative purification method known as gaseous filtration, ensuring passengers experience fewer throat, eye, and nose irritations.
