LOVE LOVE LOVE her! she got me an AMAZING deal! we will be there for 2 weeks... plus travel time. bora bora and moorea for $8200 with airfare!!! staying in overwater bungalow in bora bora and a garden private pool bungalow in moorea. I also told her we HAD to keep costs as low as possible in order to be able to go! This vacation can easily run you some $$$$$$$$!!!!!

You can say Kerri from LIW gave you the info! She really is terrific!

Re: Bora Bora Thread

has anyone ever stayed at the hilton resorts in either bora bora or moorea?

Re: Bora Bora Thread

im so happy this thread exists! haha I have been researching honeymoon spots and bora bora is on my list of places. along with a bunch of islands in the indian ocean and the cook islands.

i have a question, because this just came up this weekend between FH and i.

Did/is anyone flying first class?? and how much extra is it?? and is it worth it?

I feel like it is because you are on a plane for so long that sitting coach can be uncomfortable.
FH doesnt want to spend the money, which is totally understandable.

any thoughts?

Re: Bora Bora Thread

We are flying regular! Unfortunately!

However FH is very tall.. he is about 6ft 6in so whenever we fly I ask for a seat near the emergency exit because they usually have a little extra room in those seats!

I am curious about the price difference for 1st class though. I think FH mentioned it too.

Re: Bora Bora Thread

i've been lookig at the business/first class tickets and roundtrip airfare i am seeing ranges from 7K+-10K+ pp!

Re: Bora Bora Thread

First class and even business class are very expensive. But, FH and I have AA miles that transfer to Air Tahiti, so we are probably going to buy the additional miles we need and fly business class. I've done this before when I went to Japan - 14 hours direct; 17 indirect and it was WELL worth the effort.

I am not sure to be honest. I've used several different frequent flyer programs and I've found AA to be the best, so I use them. Air Tahiti is party of One World as you mentioned. Would it be possible to change dates at all? Or try one day off from when you originally wanted to leave and come back?

Re: Bora Bora Thread

FH was researching Tahiti trip last night and realized that even though you are allowed regular luggage allowance from US to Tahiti, on your inter-island flights, you are allowed only half that amount due to the fact that the plane is smaller. Oh yeah, and you are only allowed one bag and one carry on. (44lbs and 10lbs)

We generally tend to overpack, is anyone else concerned with this?

OH NO!!!! Eeeeek!!! I'm also a MAJOR overpacker and I hadn't thought or heard about this!!!!

You just gave me a heart attack!! I'm going to email my TA and see what she says!!
THank you for letting us know!! I'll be going there in about 3 months!!!!

Re: Bora Bora Thread

Kerri, can you let me know what you find out? We did not book yet,probably will next month. We only found this out because FH is anul and thoroughly researches everything to death!! He actually was getting conflicting info from different Tahiti boards and then went on the Air Tahiti Nui website.

FH is going to email me the link from the airline that he saw. I will FM it to you.

THANK YOU for that information!! I will most definately post the answer as soon as I get one from my TA!!!

I'm very worried about that weight limit!! My suit cases are all always over the weight limit!!

I'm going to have to unpack FH's stuff to sneak my things in his bag!!! HAHAHAHA!! He will have a bunch of sundresses to wear instead!!!!

I'm going to be away for 18 days... so this is going to be TREMENDOUSLY hard for me!!!!!

However I wouldn't let this be a deciding factor in going or not going!! I'll just go and be naked half the time!!! hahahahaha!! What else can you do if can't pack enough of your things!!!!! Ohh... maybe we can wear like layers of clothes... just put all your clothes on you if you are over your weight limit!!! Like Joey did in Friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

On a side note... I went to look at luggage yesterday.... and of course the ONLY set I fall in love with is Diane Von Furstenburg... and it's a gray suede set... and very ... so i didn't register for luggage yet! I'm not sure what the norm price for luggage is.

Re: Bora Bora Thread

That is so funny you said that because FH said he is going to layer on all his clothes to wear on the plane! He is looking into how much the charge would be for extra baggage. Unfortunatley it also said it all depends if they even have the extra room.
We are only going for 12 days, so you have that one extra week on us, so it will be even harder than for us.
I keep thinking that we will be in bathing suits and shorts most of the time, but you still need nice clothes to go out to dinner and stuff, so I am concerned too...this totally stinks!!
