shrkdive1 Posted January 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We just booked the 10 day itinerary that included Fakarava and Raingiroa but was surprised the itinerary said the ship departs at 10pm. I believe the travel consultant also said the flight from LAX didn't arrive until late that same evening and we would go straight to the ship from the airport. Has anyone else experienced this? Does the flight from LAX depart earlier that same day? I had expected an overnight flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin123185 Posted January 29, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Many people indeed go right to the ship from the airport. I think this is a mistake - get there a few days early, relax and acclimate yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairesmom Posted January 30, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2013 This is standard. We upgraded out flight through our TA to leave at midnight the night before out of LAX since we had already been to Tahiti. We arrived at Papeete at 5am, and had booked a day room just up the street from where the PG docks. We slept a bit, worked out, showered, shopped at the market, etc. We were able to board right at three and enjoy the entire day. Very worth it.

Tikiintahiti Posted January 30, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yes it does say 10 pm but I've been on board when we left at 12:30 am. They know what flight you are on so don't worry. Huahine is the first stop and the ship can make it there in 8 hours if they throttle her up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
