Airports & Lounges

Due to the health crisis, we inform you that the Tokyo-Narita lounge is temporarily unavailable.

From now on, the lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle is the "Salon Paul Maxence" located at Terminal 2A, the lounge in Los Angeles is the "Star Alliance Lounge" located at Tom Bradley on the 6th floor, Level 6 – Central atrium, and the lounge in Auckland is the “Air New Zealand Lounge” located after security and immigration.

ARRIVAL TIME AT PARIS-CDG AIRPORT:

The Parisian Air and Border Police are reporting longer waiting times when accessing the boarding area following the health situation. This is why, for your comfort, Air Tahiti Nui has decided to open its check-in counters earlier, 3h45 before the departure of your flight.
In order to carry out all check-in, police and security formalities without stress, we recommend that you arrive at the airport as soon as possible.
