PPE Tahiti Airport Question
Is there a place to store luggage at the PPE airport?
My wife and I arrive on a flight from LAX at 5:30am. We're spending the night on Moorea. I was thinking it might be fun to check out the market since it opens early in the morning. We'd then spend the rest of the day in Papete and return to the airport to fly to Moorea for the night.
If we can't store our bags then it makes it difficult.

When you walk out of arrivals walk left past a few shops, then cross the road to the carpark before you leave the arrivals area (departures is next). Opens at 5am every morning except Mon when it opens at 4am.

Not to scare you or anything, but an Air Moorea flight just went down with 14 on board today

Thank you all for the help.
Eireman,
I would prefer to take the ferry as I love rides like that. However, if we leave our bags at the airport then we have to return to the airport to pick them up and then go to the ferry. Seems like a hassel. Plus, my wife would prefer to fly and the bottom line is if the wife is happy, then it's a good trip.

Here's an info page (accessible from the ATN website) on PPT luggage storage:
http://www.airtahitinui-usa.com/Airp...ageinfoPPT.htm
This schedule makes it look like it's open for that long stretch but our experience is that it is not. It seems to close and open throughout the day, always opening up a couple of hours before international flights out. You'd want to check to be sure when you would be able to retrieve your luggage when you need to.
You might want to search the Tahiti Explorer Tahiti Travel Forum for more information about this as many people ask about it regularly and are answered by those with recent experience.
