AFAIK UA doesn´t have any agreements with Air Tahiti, so no earning / redeeming UA miles when flying Air Tahiti.

Good luck with your planning!

I'm pretty sure it's correct that you can use UA miles to fly Hawaiian to PPT, though I don't think Hawaiian flies to PPT on a daily basis. Could be that it's even just once a week.

By the way, the international carrier folks are discussing here is actually Air Tahiti Nui, not Air Tahiti. Air Tahiti is a separate airline that just flies domestically within FP.
