I would be a lot happier if they wouldn't put such a short stay limit on some specials and get off the children fly free to try to increase family business. Figure family is really promoted by the hotels but regardless is will cost them in the long run by reducing their traditional honeymoon, etc. traffic. Noticed (Tahitipresse) they have a new promo starting "love" starting soon. Anyway I paid $475 each in 1976 for LAX to PPT. BOB was an additional $50. So after 3 years LAX to PPT has increased about 2.8 times. But PPT to BOB had gone up 8 times. Air Tahiti is the problem, at least to the out islands. Then the tourism board, local govt get together and make the air lines reschedule so we all have to spend a "Hotel Night" in Pepete. Net net Air Tahiti Nui is going broke fast and the Govt has had to buy into them so many times they own over 80%. Air France is usually a little higher. Air New Zeland was loosing money on the run and dropped out, etc, etc. But never a complaint from Air Tahiti, they are getting rich. These guys are falling over themselves making mistake after mistake in a general panic mode. Things were on the way down long before "the economy" and will probably take long after the rest of the world recovers, to recover. Then I will get back to my 2 annual trips to Bora Bora.

Look at the links Barbi posted and please read them. Letters just might help lower both LAX to PPT and interisland fares.

But they didn't have as many flights per week, and then came the fuel crisis. There are lots of specials from North-America to Europe this coming summer . But air fares have never been that cheap, except for those inner continental flights right now. In 1969 /1970 a return trip in economy FRA-YUL -FRA cost over DM 2000.- ; which was for roughly the same flight hours. I 'll send my letter ..... U.

Posts: 577 (04/05/09 08:19:31) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	ATN is running a $589 special for LAX-CDG (Paris) right now. Airfare to Tahiti (half the distance) is more than twice as much. They are spending $3.75 million on a "love" campaign, but not lowering prices. Their "quick-getaway" price through May is $1089, but with a maximum 5-day stay limitation. It makes no sense. Write letters and send them to Hamara!

Every time they switch Presidents the last President's changes get undone. Inter island flights are highway robbery, which should also be addressed. Let's face it, many people are going to Dominican Republic,Cuba & Mexico for 1 week all inclusive for what the cost of a flight is to French Polynesia. They should be subsidizing the costs of flights heavily to get the hotels booked and full. The whole economy would win. Either that or get Westjet to handle the flights

The letters addressed will be delivered directly to the govt officials who can make decisions.

Posts: 1684 (04/11/09 12:14:54) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Have we considered the cost of fuel in FP? How much does it cost to refuel a plane in Tahiti ? Just a thought, because if the fuel costs 3 or 5 times more, perhaps there is another angle to the situation. How much more is the fuel actually ?

Posts: 580 (04/11/09 12:46:14) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Uschi, I guess the fuel is cheap enough that ATN can fly a plane from LAX to Paris for $589! And they can now manage to fly you from LAX to PPT for $989 but only if you don't stay longer than 5 days! (And both those prices include all taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges.) I agree that costs have risen, world-wide. But the sale promotions that they are running just don't make sense from a marketing perspective, given their target market and their terrible economy.

In 2004 they had at least a 10-day trip, Spats took advantage of that one. Being familiar with the airline business through my husband, I know that there are always specials depending if that particular destination doesn't have enough passengers , or because of competition and other political stuff . All the former "charter" airlines closed down . Perhaps they made their money and sold out or they had to fold. FP lost a lot of business through the withdrawel of the Tahitian Princess and smaller cruise ships, and sooner or later they must wake up and realize the impact . Perhaps later. Emails might not have the desired impact my experience tells me but could be done aside from a letter. Radio coconut will work somehow. U.
