If Tahiti’s not on your family’s radar, it will be with this limited-time “kids fly (almost) free” sale. Experience the islands with kids up to age 11 for free—all you have to do is pay the minimal sales tax. The sale works for two round-trip economy child tickets going from Seattle or Los Angeles to Tahiti. You’ll need to book by December 31 for travel anytime now through December 31 to take advantage of this deal.
The only catch? You can’t book it online. You’ll have to call a travel agent or the airline directly at (877) 824-4846. That doesn’t seem like a dealbreaker at all.
Air Tahiti Nui is to date my favorite airline—my husband and I lucked into a flight from LAX to Paris years ago with the now-dormant Airhitch program (essentially, hitchhiking in the sky, organized by surly guys in an AOL chatroom). We loved the colorful upholstery of the seats and the florals worn by the flight attendants—and even a blossom tucked into their hair. It made the whole flight festive.
Air Tahiti Nui tickets always include these complimentary amenities: onboard meals and drinks (you could stop right there, but the list continues), one checked bag, one folding stroller per child 0-23 months, pillows, blankets and amenity kits.
You’re probably wondering how much the adult fare costs. From now through May 31, and from November 1 to December 13, fares start at $1,280. For travel from June 1 to October 31, and from December 14 through January 6 of 2026, fares start at $1,480.
