They're not the most premium product out there, but I still think you'll have a good trip.

The AF 777s are pretty grim in standard economy, though, so this is a good route to pony up for at least premium economy or business.
DL does not fly this route. It is AF or TN. My wife and I are going in June on TN leaving at 4PM from LAX arriving at PPT at near midnight. We are diving Tikeahu and Rangiroa.

TN says they fly https://www.airtahitinui.com/us-en/our-fleet A340s
