Agreed - I *really* enjoyed Mo'erea followed by Raiatea. I recently saw $800 round-trip flights from LAX to PPT and considered going for a week.

Air Tahiti Nui has those deals quite often - definitely sign up for their newsletter.

The thing that surprised me the most the first time I went to Tahiti was that the flight really isn’t that long, only a bit over 8 hours from LAX to Papeete. I don’t know why but before going I had always felt like the flight would be more of a looong adventure like it is getting to other places in the South Pacific (like the full day + of flights and sitting in airports that it takes to get to the eastern part of Indonesia).

Exactly. I've been to the Maldives and it took nearly 40 hours door to door. Tahiti is a walk in the park by comparison.
