Delta Air Lines Announces nonstop Service to Tahiti
Delta Air Lines recently announced a new, long-haul route. The legacy carrier will begin nonstop flights from Los Angeles, Calif. to Papeete, located on the French Polynesian island of Tahiti. The new flight is planned to commence on December 17, 2022, during the summer months in the South Pacific. (aeroxplorer.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Good things it's planned as a nonstop.
Much rather fly on Air Tahiti Nui's new 787-9's. Have had great trips with this airline on, LAX - PPT and LAX - CDG flights. They are very competitive on price, flight times, service, and French Polynesia ambience.
Delta has a huge fleet of old 767's they need to do something with so they're going to give this a shot.
I looked at the Delta website ...... what I saw in late October was that it is a code share on Air France with Air France being the operator on a 777 200
Fares are confusing .... they offer a teaser at $750 return in Y but the regular coach fare is $2500

Right. I can fly cheaper, on the same code-shared aircraft, with Air France. Delta is always more expensive but it's a good airline and you get what you pay for. Just wish they'd update their aircraft.
Why on earth would someone fly a crappy sub-par U.S. carrier when Air Tahiti is a fine choice? I enjoyed a good service on this flight.
I am corporate flight crew. I did a flight to Papeete in January and our organizer put me on Air Tahiti Nui, and it was horrible. The flight left at midnight, food was a verge rolled tortilla. Plane was a 787 with nine across where the plane was designed for eight across, and to accommodate the carriers' requests for nine across Boeing took about 1 1/2" out of the seat width.
Because the organizer bought the flight on line Air Tahiti Nui didnot pay miles, despite being a Star Alliance member. I flat out won't fly with Air Tahiti Nui again. It was just horrible. Air France has a 7 am flight, and that's better. Delta will provide some competition which is good. There is no way Delta could be worse than Air Tahiti Nui.

Boeing did not take anything away.
The aircraft purchaser determines the pitch of the seats. Boeing contracts out the seat and installs what the customer ordered. Not a Boeing decision.
As a "corporate flight crew" you should know better.
