I find the Air France flights to Tahiti from LAX good because they have a Premium Economy class, which is bearable for us. Just have to accomodate to a 3-flights per week schedule, but that just means staying longer in paradise. This search is for a Paul Gauguin cruise, our 6th.
My suggestion considered only that you will have Aeroplan miles - which does not have Air France as a partner. It's nice that you have that option. I'd love to fly to PPT from SFO, or LAX, but those flights are near-impossible on AP rewards. I don't mind a 12-13 hour flight when I can sleep comfortably in a lay flat.

Enjoy your cruise!
