Tikiintahiti Posted August 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The majority of the time the strike doesn't happen and when it does most flights go on schedule. Every now and then a flight or 2 might get cancelled or combined but you will get there though it might affect the date/time a bit. This is where booking your LAX-PPT flight through PG is so important ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Sweethearts Posted August 1, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2013 In reference to Hawaiian Airlines' flight from Honolulu to Papeete and return, they are currently using a 767. It has two classes of service with 18 seats in Business and the remainder in Coach. They will change to an Airbus in November. The news article that was quoted didn't seem to make that terribly clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
