Recent (post-pandemic) experience with Air Tahiti Nui?

Posted by on

Air France is out of my budget for an upcoming trip to Paris in April. Non-direct routes were all putting me at overnight layovers or inconvenient times. I discovered and purchased a direct LAX -> CDG flight with Air Tahiti Nui. Reviews seemed to be mixed but mostly good, with the biggest worry that if they cancel, it would mean being stranded for at least a day since there's only the one flight.

Does anyone have any recent info to offer on their experience? Already booked, so kind of stuck now, but looking to set some expectations or get tips/tricks.

Thanks!

No personal experience, but they are part of Oneworld (Our codeshare Partners: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Japan Airlines, Korean Airlines, Air New Zealand, Air France, TGVAir), so there is a possibility of an alternative if something goes sideways.
Their site reveals they have 4 planes in their fleet (787s). Any unplanned maintenance is a significant issue. The good news is they are newer planes so breakdowns are less likely.

Best wishes

Thanks joe32f! Yes, it was interesting reading reviews before COVID with the airbuses compared to now with the dreamliners. (much better now). Love me a dreamliner! Good to know about the alliance. I thought it interesting there was no codeshare option to book thru American, United, Delta, etc., but having gone through a recent ITA airway / Delta Codeshare nightmare, I'm trying to book with the actual airline now anyway.

Thanks for the tips!
