With Two Paying Adults, Two Children Fly Free From NY;
One Child Flies Free From LA
Families looking for a fun, economical and exotic getaway this winter need not look any further as Air Tahiti Nui just announced free air for kids 11 and younger on New York and Los Angeles flights through May 31, and November 1 to December 10, 2008. Two paying adults receive two free child tickets* on flights from JFK, and one free child ticket on flights from LAX. Moana (economy) class air for mom and dad starts from $1,423 per person from New York and $1,161 per person from Los Angeles. All tickets must be booked by May 1.
On Air Tahiti Nui, kids are kept busy with personal in-flight entertainment systems featuring cool interactive games and six new release movies, while parents relax with the hospitable services of an award-winning cabin crew.
Once in French Polynesia, families can share the calm beauty and tranquility of Tahiti and Her Islands together. Breathtaking views of jagged mountains in the distance and the ocean’s many shades of blue will astound young eyes, while jet skiing and snorkel trips will bring kids within petting distance of friendly stingrays and hundreds of colorful fish. Adventurous 4x4 Jeep expeditions into lush island interiors will thrill all with bumpy, muddy rides, and hiking excursions with a naturalist guide are both fun and educational as children learn about Tahiti’s unique flora and fauna and the history of its ancient marae temples.
Families can also enjoy a private picnic on a motu together, go deep-sea fishing and catch their dinner, take a glass bottom boat ride and experience Tahitian culture with festive Polynesian music and dance shows.
