Petoonya Posted July 9, 2020 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I'm (hopefully) cruising Tahiti in April next year and was shopping very early for airfare when I found something remarkable. $419 roundtrip United SFO to Papeete. Showed for just about an hour on the UAL website. 10 min after I bought it was gone. Fares had been all over the map previously and subsequently. Another wonderful thing about my fare is that it's changeable. Would have been thrilled with something $600-650 range but never expected this. I checked ATN at the same time and it was over $1000 which is what UAL is today for my dates. So to pass it on, start watching carefully. Looking a few times a day can't hurt. Hope that you find something great too. 😃 Link to post Share on other sites

Tahitianbigkahuna Posted July 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Great price ... heck, my price was $539 on United R/T for March but as you mentioned the prices were gone in about 10 minutes and back to $900 and higher. Yes it seems that united offers a few of these highly discounted price on many of the flights over but then once there are gone on a certain date they are likely to not return. Good for you Petoonya Link to post Share on other sites
Dd3thomas Posted July 10, 2020 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2020 We were able to use points to get to Tahiti and only needed to pay for the way back. UA from PPT to SFO $200 one way for Jan 2021. Link to post Share on other sites

Texed Posted July 27, 2020 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I am a little off topic, but Does United offer a lounge at the Papeete airport? Thanks in advance. 😊 Link to post Share on other sites
