Delta / Air France: Los Angeles – Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia. $550 (Basic Economy) / $700 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes

[disclose]

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we encourage you to get vaccinated for safer and more convenient travel.

Pricey island to get to.

If you want to go to Bora Bora, you need to buy another ticket with Air Tahiti. And that ticket is not cheap — about $500 roundtrip and there’s no mileage program that has Air Tahiti as a redemption partner.

The $700 fare includes advance seat assignment, normal size carry-on and one checked bag.

Delta / Air France / KLM Royal Dutch also have a $550 fare, but it is a Basic Economy fare with restrictions. Delta / Air France / KLM Royal Dutch International Basic Economy fares:

  • DO NOT allow for advance seat assignment
  • DO NOT include checked bags – they are $60 each way for the 1st bag and $100 for the 2nd
  • DO NOT allow for changes
  • DO NOT allow for cancellations – so if you cancel after the 24 hour risk free period, the Basic Economy version will have no value for future travel
  • DO NOT allow for mileage earning
  • Most online travel agencies are not displaying Air France / KLM Royal Dutch Basic Economy / Economy Light fares as such.
