LOS ANGELES, CA, June 2, 2008 "“ An attractive option for sticker-shocked travelers, Air Tahiti Nui has teamed up with online vacation specialist Travelscene to launch a three-country Pacific PassTM from $999. The transpacific air pass provides easy, flexible access to three South Pacific gems: Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti.
A remarkable value, the $999 Pacific Pass is available to travelers who book a total of six nights at any combination of Starwood hotels and resorts in the South Pacific; a $1,099 version is available for travelers who book the airfare only. A special $99 add-on fare from New York is also available, as Air Tahiti Nui flies nonstop thrice weekly from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Faa'a International Airport in Papeete, Tahiti. This limited time offer must be ticketed by June 30, 2008, for travel through October 31, 2008. A seven-day minimum stay is required; government taxes are additional.
"Value is such an important consideration when choosing a travel destination. The Pacific Pass opens up access to three dream destinations for the price of just one airfare," said Ruth Daly, vice president of marketing for Travelscene.
Appealing to travelers of all types, families might enjoy an active trip with surfing lessons in Sydney, sailing in Auckland and snorkeling in Moorea. A girlfriend getaway might include a pampering spa stay in Tahiti, laneway shopping in the Aussie fashion capital of Melbourne and wine tasting in Marlborough, while honeymooners may take pleasure in the remote beauty of Bora Bora, diving in the Great Barrier Reef, and tandem skydiving in Queensland, New Zealand's adventure capital.
Air Tahiti Nui offers nonstop service from Los Angeles and New York (starting June 2) to Papeete, Tahiti with continuing service to Sydney, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand. Air Tahiti Nui won the Skytrax 2007 World Airline Awards for “Best Airline” and "Best Cabin Staff" in the Pacific region.
