Air Tahiti Nui Regulations

    Any travel agent can issue a ticket or book a cruise . . .
    We create Travel Experiences . . . that extra effort is our hallmark!

CHECK-IN TIMES
Check-in time is 31/2 hours before departure at Tom Bradley International Airport in Los Angeles.  Allow at least 2 1/2 to 3 hours between your arrival back into the United States at Los Angeles International Airport when planning your connecting flight back home.  This allows for any delays, time to go through Customs and time to get to your terminal for your next flight.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Each passenger is responsible for obtaining and carrying the correct travel documentation for the countries to be visited.   The name on your airline ticket must match the spelling of your name (First and Last name) on your passport.  If you are from a country other than US., make sure that you check with your consulate to make sure that you don't need a Visa to enter Tahiti. U.S. citizens do not need visas to go to Tahiti.

Your passport must be valid for six months beyond your travel date.

TICKETS
All tickets for Air Tahiti Nui will be paper tickets.

MEDICATION
Internationally traveling passengers should always carry enough prescribed medications needed for the duration of their trip.  All medications should be carried only in your carry-on baggage.

If needles are necessary for medical reasons, they must be declared at the airport screening point. Passengers carrying needles will need to declare them at the screening point. 

It is advisable to provide documentation or identification to confirm a medical condition and for all medication to have either a professional printed label identifying the medication or manufacturers or for the medication to be in pharmaceutically labeled packaging.
