IC Fiji, Bora Bora, or Tahiti - flying that far, which ones to choose?
Keep mulling this one and never came to a conclusion yet.
You are travelling as far as it's almost possible to fly (from the UK) and you have 5 IC's to choose from .... maybe I can take in 3, but which ones? Maybe will stay for 3, more likely 4 weeks total.
It's not a choice to get wrong so thought I'd ask the experts. What do you reckon? Whilst have covered a huge amount of IC's, I never stayed at any of these and don't know a great deal about the area except my wife had a pen-pal from Fiji in the 70's!!!
Also how might each of them treat RA's?
And what are the sensible flight options from LHR?
Appreciate any input as always from those with experiences.

Only place worth flying so far from the UK is Bora Bora, and even then the Maldives are nicer. I went to Bora Bora earlier this year as I was already in NZ, wouldn't bother going back

I’ve stayed at the IC in Fiji and Tahiti. I thought that the IC in Fiji was a spectacular resort, it’s certainly in my top 5 favourite ICs. I thought that the IC Tahiti was a very nice resort but didn’t particularly wow me. I enjoyed the swim up bar and the infinity pool overlooking the ocean but I don’t remember it especially standing out (this was 7 years ago, so take it with a grain of salt).
Take a look at your flight options because I ended up staying in Tahiti for a few days because I couldn’t make a same day connection from North America to Bora Bora work so you may have to at least overnight in Tahiti and the IC Tahiti was a pretty short cab ride from the airport.
