    Good morning from the east coast of the USA. I, too, am a white knuckle flyer. Doesn't matter if I am over land or not. Every time you show takeoff, I picture myself gripping the armrests, and my eyes closed tight. Not that that's gonna help.🤭 Beautiful scenery at the end. Can't wait to see the full video.

You would have to disturb them to get up and put for anything like the bathroom. I would find that incredibly inconvenient for both passengers involved. Other than that, everything looked beautiful!!

    My wife and I flew on ATN, for the very first time, in May 2023. Our flight was from LAX to PPT (Papeete). However, we were in Economy Class. The seats were uncomfortable, leg room was very tight, the IFE selection was the worst we have ever encountered, and the interactive screen was just as bad. Food was par for EC seats. All in all, nothing to write home about. We will say this though, the crew was exceptional from start to landing. Our next flight on ATN will most likely be in Business Class.

    Great video! I’m a very nervous flyer myself, so I can empathize with what you go through. I flew Air Tahiti Nui back in 2007 between Los Angeles and Tahiti and it was a very good experience even for flying in coach all that distance. I absolutely love Tahiti, and I really want to go back, but I have become such a nervous flyer as I’ve gotten older, that I don’t know if my nerves could handle a very long flight.

    Thank you for sharing your flight down to another beautiful paradise island nation. You made me laugh talking about the two engines operation with ETOPS certification! Yes, I use to feel a little nervous every time I would fly to Hawaii on my former 777-200s. But those GE engines are huge and so powerful even though it took me a few trips over the pacific to have some comfortable level of traveling over the Pacific Ocean. I still miss the 747-400s with flying over the Pacific. At least there were four engines and the same for the older DC-10s that my former airline flew to there to Hawaii. Yes, two engines flying those distances are interesting to say the least!!!!

    I see the air stairs for the front of the aircraft and the walk up the jet ramp was in the back of the aircraft. That made me remember flying to Kona, Hawaii many times with our 777 and having the air stairs there at door 1L and at the back of the aircraft at door 4L. Many islands don't have the modern jet ramps.

My own personal nervousness was put to bed (mostly) by being lucky enough to be in the cockpit (prior to 9/11) during an emergency landing into Manchester. Observing the professionalism of the pilots answered a lot of the 'fears' I had. Now it's just a single G&T on my journey! lol. As always, looking forward to the resort report.

    My wife and I flew on Air Tahiti Nui this past May 2023. It was a connecting flight from American Airlines out of Boston. LAX is enormous and the walk from the domestic terminal to Bradley Terminal is long, and long. So be prepared for about a 20 to 25 minute walk unless you walk at a fast pace. There are only two options for flights to PPT (Papeete, Tahiti) - Air Tahiti Nui and Air France. After watching several KZread videos on both, we'll continue flying with ATN. Maybe upgrade to Premium next time.

I rarely fly and only a couple of times briefly over the ocean and when I fly it's always in economy since that's all I can afford because I also have to plan on rental car and hotel and other expenses. I much prefer to drive even if it takes many hours to get to my destination.

But now I see that it’s about the experience, including the plane specs, flight options, routing, airport facts, and other details. I think a “long haul” is in my future and you will have a lot to do with that. Many thanks!

They did it by the books of top notch communication knowledge, because it differs to their advantage from all other safety videos, and raises even the attention of experience traveller like You, conveying the message as well. 👍 Other airlines should also find the way to do the same in their own personal way. Which is linked to their country of origin or corporate culture too. Waiting for your next videos to come 🌿✌️
