Air France – KLM Flying Blue New Redemption Partner: Air Tahiti

Air France – KLM’s Flying Blue has a new redemption partner in French Polynesia, the domestic airline Air Tahiti.

Flying Blue members can book award flights on Air Tahiti, but only on Air France’s website, as KLM doesn’t have an interline or ticketing agreement with them.

You can access Flying Blue here.

You shouldn’t confuse Air Tahiti with Air Tahiti Nui, which is partner with American Airlines and Qantas.

Air Tahiti is the domestic airline in French Polynesia that flies to almost every island with an airstrip and has a weekly service to the Cook Islands.

The Air Tahiti flights are listed on the regular award search on Air France’s website.

Conclusion

If you plan to visit French Polynesia, you should check the paid flights with both Air Tahiti and Air Moana, a new domestic competitor, to see if redeeming Flying Blue miles makes sense.

Some of these domestic flights can be a bit pricey, and the weight limit for checked luggage is quite strict.

It is good to have a new option to use Flying Blue miles.
