I guess that the truth of the matter is that a flight from NA to Bora Bora is inherently risky. Our trip there was booked through expedia, all on the same ticket. AC has an interline agreement with Air Tahiti Nui, so we're safe there. Also, as out trip is costing approximately $12,000 I have insured it and due to this we are compensated accordingly for any lost nights, delays, etc. I realize lots can go wrong, but how else are you supposed to get to Bora Bora??? If we're late incoming to Papeete its not a big deal as there are multiple PPT-BOB flights a day.
