Thanks for the great report, it gives me a fine memories of Tahiti - very vacation like. For someone who have been there already, your report makes me gush about why I can't go back immediately...I wish.
Air France also flies 3 times weekly from LAX and they offer First Class to Tahiti, I wonder if it's worth the cost... I also heared that TN's First Class essentially offers same food choices in Business and First class, wonder if that's true.
