MIAMI – A new temporary change for Air France (AF) schedule to Papeete (PPT) is to take effect from February 15 and up to February 28.
The flights to the Pacific Island will be reduced to one weekly flight with a stiop over in Vancouver (YVR) to avoid health related restrictions imposed by the US.
Air France said that “in view of restrictions being imposed on EU citizens to enter the US and the recent evolution of pandemic related measures in force in French Polynesia, Air France shall only offer one flight per week.”
The flight is scheduled to leave Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) on Saturday at 10:10 to arrive in PPT at 21:15 on the same day.

Could tactile, textured finishes be an emerging trend post-COVID?
It’s long been established in scientific fields that memories, emotions, and senses are all tied together. The same region of the brain that processes the five senses is also partly responsible for storing emotional memories. In the airline field, that means passengers are more likely to remember and build brand memories that tie in all five senses not just one or two of them.
That’s why, for example, when we recall certain favourite foods, we can mentally taste and smell them too. This is why boarding music is important, or fragrance – such as the Tiare flower Air Tahiti Nui uses on arrival, mood lighting, and the correct choice of welcome drink such as Turkish Airlines’ signature juices, but what about touch?
