I think it might have been Delta (I use Kayak). I just pulled random dates from February. But I know Air Tahiti Nui had a DIRECT flight from JFK to PPT on certain days, havent looked into depth into that though. That's gotta be a long flight (but I wouldnt mindScarletB wrote:I did the same thing yesterday!UpstateNYPH wrote:Fares arent looking to bad for Feb actually. About $1500 from NYC.

'There's rumor of us makin' a Hawaii/Tahiti trip....but it'll be February when it's all nice & tropical here...'
I wish they'd figure out a damn finish date for the Honolulu M'Ville....I know that's what it's all hung up on....

Re: Tahiti?
Come on Jimmy! Please share what adventures lay ahead us here - in 2009! Especially Tahiti, Hawaii, Australia! I am already headed to Hawaii in February, whether you are going to be there or not. I leave 5 weeks from today. Haven't you had enough vacation time??

Re: Tahiti?
Just wondering ...
Is it really possible -- with Hawaii dates on the horizon that Tahiti will actually materalize ... or is it simply a pipe dream?
I'm trying not to get too excited ... but Tahiti would be fabulous!

Re: Tahiti?
I had really planned on this but given the economy I really need to keep my savings account full, normally I'd say "What the h*ll" Plus the people I was planning on going with have decided they don't want to spend that kind of money either soooo... I hate to miss it though.ALABAMAphan wrote:Just wondering ...

Edit - seems like we're all re-thinking it. I wonder if the fact that its teens below ZERO here has anything to do with it!
