As stated above, NZ is the only *A airline which flies to PPT.
For this purpose it doesnŽt matter whether NZ has a codeshare agreement with Air Tahiti on the LAX-PPT route, as the flight is operated by Air Tahiti.
If youŽre using UA miles for your redemption you MIGHT be able to fly to HNL on UA and then fly to PPT on Hawaiian Airlines.
Hawaiian Airlines is one of UAŽs non-*A partners and you can earn UA miles when flying on some Hawaiian Airlines operated inter-island flights provided you flew to HNL on UA metal, but youŽll have to look into the detail yourself.
AFAIK UA doesnŽt have any agreements with Air Tahiti, so no earning / redeeming UA miles when flying Air Tahiti.
Good luck with your planning!
