Round the World Airfares including Tahiti

If you are traveling to multiple destinations, you can consider purchasing a round the world ticket which includes a stop in Tahiti. This is available through the Star Alliance network and the One World network of airlines.

Also consider a Circle Pacific ticket, which is similar to an around the world ticket but is usually cheaper as it covers a limited region. A Circle Pacific ticket uses a combination of airlines to connect Australia, New Zealand, North America and Asia; with choices of stopover options in the Pacific. We hear that Circle Pacific airfares are better priced from the USA and Asia, than they are from Australia.
