Air Tahiti Nui’s Poerava Business Class

We arrived to Fa’a’ā International Airport early and made use of the Air Tahiti Nui lounge prior to our overnight flight. After snacking on some cheese and crackers and a few beverages, we made our way to the gate.

Priority boarding was swift and we were seated in no time. As I settled into my seat, flight attendants came through the cabin with beverages and magazines. I opted for a glass of Champagne and passed on the reading material. At all seats in the Poerava Business cabin, Air Tahiti Nui provides a pillow — complete with palm leaf pattern — and the most comfortable airline blanket I’ve experienced. I made myself comfortable while browsing the entertainment selections. Several new and older movie options were available. I eventually decided on Ex Machina.

A light meal of salad with chicken, foie gras and eggplant was offered shortly after takeoff. I also enjoyed a roll, cheese, fruit and a glass of Chardonnay. Once I was finished with my meal and the movie, I reclined my seat the full 160 degrees and utilized the eye mask in the amenity kit. I slept through most of the flight, waking just in time for the breakfast meal service. I started with a glass of tea and opted for the salmon omelet instead of the pineapple crepes. Flight attendants passed through the cabin with a selection of French pastries; I enjoyed coconut bread and a chocolate croissant. While enjoying breakfast I turned on Inception, which I watched until we landed in Los Angeles.

Air Tahiti Nui is the top choice for travel to French Polynesia and beyond.
