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. 😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCOP Posted July 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Wow! That is an amazing fare! Congratulations! Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njkate Posted February 3, 2021 #14 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Great price! Just booked an Oct 2022 Hawaii to Tahiti with BOGO air, so for two of us air from Savannah to Honolulu and then Tahiti back to Savannah was total $899. I never take NCL air but knew I was not going to get a better fare on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
