United Airlines launched its nonstop service to Tahiti Tuesday, making it the only carrier in the United States to offer flights to the island.
To celebrate the debut of United’s new route between San Francisco and Pape’ete, the airline also announced it is extending its Tahiti schedule to year-round service from California. The flights offer customers a convenient gateway to the islands of French Polynesia, including Mo’orea, Bora Bora, the Marquesas and Rangiroa.
