The Best Sick Day Ever: Flying Air Tahiti Nui's Business Class {Luxist}
Jan 26th 2010 4:30AM Indeed, very realistic article. I confirm that the first breaths outside the aircraft upon arrival at Fa'a'ä airport are indeed very overwhelming, especially when you're flying from colder and drier places! It is right at this time that the magic experience of the islands begins.
In fact, Air Tahiti Nui and other companies flying to Tahiti try to draw passengers into the magic with flowery suits, lagoon colors, exciting magazines and Polynesian smiles before they land and experience the full flavors and scents of the islands.
