Anyone know a cheap way to get to BOB from PPT?
Moorea is a good choice, the scenery looks spectacular. I eventualy decided to go for Bora Bora, though but hopefully I'll have time to take a day trip on the ferry to Moorea as well. I almost gave up on Bora Bora due to the insane £300+ air fares but a free night at the Conrad was waiting for me there so I persevered. Eventualy I used a Chrome browser extention to access the local airtahiti.pf website and booked the return trip from PPT to BOB for £193. Choosing a flight with one or two stops between PPT and BOB should get some nice senic flying time which helps to justify the cost. If you are located outside French Polynesia you are automaticaly redirected to the more expensive airtahiti.com and .fr sites, hence the need for a browser axtention that allows you to set your
location to French Polynesia.
