you're about to discover everything you
0:02
need to know about flying on Air Tahiti
0:04
Nui hi I'm Gary beverage and this is
0:06
another of my tips for travelers I was
0:08
lucky enough to head off on a cruise
0:10
around the French Polynesian islands and
0:12
flew there on a Tahiti Nui from Paris
0:15
via Los Angeles so I thought I would
0:17
share with you the things I learned to
0:18
discovered and experienced flying the
0:21
airline they have a very modern fleet
0:23
and they brought on board in 2018-2019
0:26
the brand spanking new Boeing Dreamliner
0:28
and this definitely is a great aircraft
0:31
the Dreamliner on a Tahiti Nui has three
0:36
business Moana Premium Economy and mony
0:38
economy being such a long flight I had
0:40
decided that I wanted to go in business
0:42
class so the configuration is a two to
0:45
two and there's a total of 30 passengers
0:47
not all seats in business class have a
0:50
direct our access because of the two to
0:53
two seat configuration so the seats in
0:56
the middle they both have our taxes so
0:58
if you're traveling by yourself it might
1:00
be a good idea to choose one of the
1:01
seats in the middle being a relatively
1:03
new aircraft it has really modern seats
1:06
and I have to say that certainly once
1:08
the seats in business went completely
1:10
flat they were probably amongst the
1:12
comfiest I've ever had in terms of sleep
1:14
and that's really important because the
1:16
flight from Paris all the way through to
1:18
Tahiti is a toad of 21 hours you do have
1:21
a two-hour layover in Los Angeles so
1:24
having a comfortable flat bed to sleep
1:27
in was a real big plus I really do think
1:29
the beds were incredibly comfortable
1:31
there was an enormous amount of food
1:33
served on board so in the leg from Paris
1:36
through to Los Angeles we had two meals
1:39
good range of choice of starters main
1:41
courses the real highlight of both of
1:44
them was the incredible dessert platter
1:46
which is like a taster menu with lots of
1:49
different choices what's very important
1:50
if you are vegetarian or vegan make sure
1:53
that you pre-order your meal because
1:54
they're not necessarily always
1:56
vegetarian option on the menu huge
1:59
choice of wines and drinks next I'd like
2:03
to talk about what you can do on board
2:04
and the entertainment on board there is
2:07
Wi-Fi there is a charge to use it
2:09
although in business you do get a
2:11
voucher to use it for some
2:13
of time there is a choice of movies
2:15
there's choice of documentaries TV
2:19
programs and then a series of little
2:20
documentaries specifically about the
2:22
French Polynesia Islands which I really
2:24
recommend you watch because it gives you
2:25
a great insight into the islands the
2:27
history the culture there of course is
2:29
an interactive map so you can also then
2:31
check on the size of your flight the
2:33
great thing is only about the screens in
2:35
business there are a great size there
2:37
was a pretty good choice of
2:38
entertainment in terms of the onboard
2:40
service I read it very high a crew were
2:42
very friendly very accommodating and one
2:46
of the great little touches they had is
2:48
the crew actually change outfits during
2:50
the course of the flight so when you
2:52
board to address very formally so for
2:54
example gentlemen on jackets and then
2:56
they change to more casual outfits and
2:59
then again they change back into the
3:01
more formal outfit when you arrive it's
3:03
a pretty multilingual on board so
3:05
English and French course reflecting
3:07
french polynesia are spoken and of
3:09
course the crew will also cause speak
3:11
local French Polynesian language as well
3:14
because in business class you also get
3:15
access to lounges at the various
3:17
airports some of which are at heating
3:20
area specific and some of which are
3:22
shared with other airlines my experience
3:26
on board Air Tahiti Nui was a very good
3:28
run I really enjoyed the fun and it's a
3:31
I found the seats very comfortable I
3:33
find the crew to be really helpful I
3:35
thought the food to be excellent I was
3:37
really really impressed with the airline
3:39
and so now I would definitely give it a
3:40
big thumbs up I have many more videos
3:43

3:45
