Air Reservations to LA

I realize that PG doesn't send out your flight info from LA to Tahiti until 20 days before departure. Obviously you would want to make your flight reservations from home to LA prior to that to get a good price, etc. How do you deal with this not knowing which date & flight you will be on to Tahiti?? We just booked our pre & post cruise extensions and now the next likely thing to deal with is to watch for low airfares to LA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, GG

Never had a problem knowing which flight I'll be on lang before depature date, like 6 months.

I would call PG and ask what flights they are using for the departure date.

It sounds like you have to claim your baggage at LAX and then re-check them with TN. Is that how it works?

Depends on the carrier. Some carriers have relationship with ATN so they will check through all the way to PPT, some carriers will not.
