Valentine’s Day Hotel and Destination Deals From Toronto to Tahiti

Air Tahiti Nui, the most immersive in-flight travel experience and flagship carrier of French Polynesia, is offering two can’t miss buy-one-get-one-half-off fare deals just in time for the month of love. When booked now through February 17, 2023, couples can experience one of two ultra-romantic getaways while soaking in major savings.

For a romantic island getaway to The Islands of Tahiti, couples who book a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tahiti (PPT) in the airline’s Moana Premium Class get the second flight automatically at 50% off. Sweethearts can laze away on the white-sand beaches, feel the heartbeat of local culture, and jump into the sparkling clear lagoon right from their overwater bungalow for the ultimate romantic getaway.

If an escape to the most romantic city in the world sounds appealing, Air Tahiti Nui is offering the same sale for a Parisian Rendezvous from Los Angeles (LAX) to Paris (CDG). There is no better time to visit the ‘City of Love’ than Valentine’s Day. Couples can walk the Champs-Élysées, enjoy candle-lit dinners at Michelin-starred cafes, and pick fresh roses from local markets to celebrate each other.

What’s more, both airfare deals include loads of value-added perks such as free checked baggage, complimentary in-flight entertainment, choice of meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as a pillow and blanket – all at no additional cost.

Both offers are redeemable by booking directly though Air Tahiti Nui’s website or by calling the airline’s call center at 1 (877) 824-4846. Travel must be completed before March 31, 2023.
