Nice flight report. Amazing experience thanks for sharing
Suggest you and your family stay in the French Polynesia paradise as long as possible because international situation is getting more and more dangerous
I love Saturdays due to yours and Sam Chui's videos landing =)
Great presentation/video. Thank you –
Welcome to Los Angeles, my home city! I hope you enjoyed your time here and your trip to Tahiti! 😃💖
Two minit
Enjoy travel no challenju anna happy two minit.
Can you please do a review of pelican hill resort in California? It’s beautiful!!!
Great video as always. I'm afraid I'd be so distracted by the images on that flight safety video that I'd fail to read the text! lol. Interesting that you're a nervous flyer, tho I do sympathise. My own personal nervousness was put to bed (mostly) by being lucky enough to be in the cockpit (prior to 9/11) during an emergency landing into Manchester. Observing the professionalism of the pilots answered a lot of the 'fears' I had. Now it's just a single G&T on my journey! lol. As always, looking forward to the resort report.
What a coincidence that Sam Chui just uploaded an Air Tahiti Nui video this month too 😀
A little, even sedate commentary would be great.
Saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴 y desde cochabamaba en el siguiente vuelo podrás hacer un vuelo de Miami a Bolivia con boliviana de aviación boa
Great experience.
I love hearing female captains on flights talking . Safe travels
Great flight, finally second leg of Fifth Freedom Flight Air Tahiti Nui between LA and French Polynesia. Thanks to the ETOPS founder who make some of flight above big oceans like this by using twin engine plane is possible.
I just watched your Video and enjoyed as always but I can’t wait for the Trip Report of Bor Bora and your encounter with the whales. I’d loved to swim with whales. It must be so beautiful. So thanks for the teaser😉.
Brilliant, as usual. No need to say anything else !!!
The camera stabilization is amazing. Was this recorded with an iPhone or other camera?
Great safety video 😂😂😂😂
I was surprised you had to get off at LAX – I thought you’d just stay on. Bit of a faff.
WOW..U REALLY WENT WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE.,..SHOWING THE ENTIRE SAFETY VIDEO! HOW BORING! WTF u Smoking….I was sitting there watching a really good video of what u did..then the safety video…Warp Speed! 🤔🥴👎
Dear Passengers…Do a Four Minute plus Warp Speed pass the Safety Video …Dude was smoking from the Pacific Blue! 🌈
Wait..Warning! Danger Will Robinson…Will there be the Info Video before Landing? ☹🥴
Always enjoy and look forward to your travel videos. Informative, non intrusive music throughout, excellent video quality and always tasteful and classy. I got tired of the talking heads and much prefer soft music and informative text format. Thanks for all you do.
outstanding detailed video, brill as always
Have some goddamn faith!
My favourite livery is Air Jamaica. Even they are out of business…
Awesome Journey✈️✈️😊😊😊
That's about the best safety video I've ever seen!
Are we still required to wear those stupid masks? I will not board any plane where I have to.
That air safety video is brilliant 😊👍🏾👍🏾
Tahití, lo mejor del mundo.
Hello i am french living in reunion island a french overseas départment in indian ocean come see us one day and thanks for your great job on your videos!
Poerava Business class is the only way to go! We loved it and will do it again! Wake up in Tahiti ..ready to go! The Dreamliner is amazing!
I have flown with my family in 2011 with Air Tahiti Nui. It was a long flight over the ocean around 8 hours. There is a different name for the flights inside of French Polynesia called Air Tahiti where you go to Mo'orea and Bora Bora Islands. Beautiful place!!
I have something to look forward to the next few weekends!
That wine list is pretty poor and sub standard for a seat costing that much
Delighted to watch the entire safety video even though initially wanted to skip the segment. The ingenuity of mixing beach resort activities with inflight safety procedures can only come from a dedicated team of talented people and Air Tahiti is really commendable for the refreshing inflight experience of even handing out the Tiare flowers bud by bud. These things which SIA has been losing since 20 odd years ago and the current inflight and booking systems leave much to be desired, not to mention those fake foreign Singapore girls. We know what the problems are but the bloated management is stubborn and self conceited.
Can anyone explain how the local time is 0342, the flight takes 7 hours 30 mins but the estimated time of arrival at local time is 2112?
Great blog I'd love it if you talked
Air Tahiti and Air New Zealand tie for best livery
Fantastic island 😀👍🏼
I flew with Air Tahiti Nui in May this year and thoroughly enjoyed the flight. The interior makes you feel like you're in Tahiti the moment you board.
Would fly them again in a heartbeat, especially as the destination is Tahiti.
My best friend, Made an excellent video. I really liked it. Beauty is extraordinary. Thank you very much for the video.
Thank you for sharing your flight down to another beautiful paradise island nation. You made me laugh talking about the two engines operation with ETOPS certification! Yes, I use to feel a little nervous every time I would fly to Hawaii on my former 777-200s. But those GE engines are huge and so powerful even though it took me a few trips over the pacific to have some comfortable level of traveling over the Pacific Ocean. I still miss the 747-400s with flying over the Pacific. At least there were four engines and the same for the older DC-10s that my former airline flew to there to Hawaii. Yes, two engines flying those distances are interesting to say the least!!!!
MENAKJUBKAN, that's Indonesian for AMAZING!!!! 👍👍👍
I will fly Air Tahiti Nui Business Class from JFK to BORA BORA. Honestly: I’m not as excited about it.
Emirates Business Class was far more exciting from JFK to Dubai to MALDIVES 🇲🇻.
I had an excellent round trip with Emirates.
The 787 is not as great as the A380.
There is a 16 hour layover. Makes no sense at all. I need something to do in that time.
I love your videos; they are so chic. But my heart always sinks a little when you go left on the aircraft and you see a 2 x 2 configuration by the window. (Not your fault though.) Ugh. I don't want to sit next to anyone, let alone a complete stranger for 12 hours or more. Ugh. I love when there's individual seats.
