the main ferry services to moorea's last route is 5;25PM. flight from lax arrives @ 6:00 PM
just wondering if there are private charters or any other way to get to moorea after 6 PM
is it worth schlepping to BOB from Friday-Monday?
Ic Moorea vs Hilton Moorea?

IIRC there some sort of freight ferry that you can buy a ticket on which leaves at night. Google might help you.
I did 3.5 days and had the most amazing time.

It's a 45 min flight - that shouldn't be a factor in too little time. You can get to your hotel by 9am. But yes, the flight is expensive. That's fair. Get some A+ :P

Has anyone had any luck booking flights from LAX or SFO in business? I'm looking to go for my honeymoon and found availability on expertflyer but the agent was clueless. Any method other than HUCA?

Can anyone share their experience with flying out of PPT back to the states? I'm trying to book my flight from BOB to PPT and wanted to know if landing in BOB at 7p is enough time for my 840p departure back state side?

Thanks in advance

Assuming no delays, should be plenty of time.

Expert Flyer is showing availability, but the agents are saying there is none. I have had them check "F" and "U" with no such luck. I have HUCA 4 times now. Any other ideas?

Did you call AA AU/NZ?
Ask if they can long sell?

Yes, I tried AU customer service and the long sell method. The award is showing on Qantas website which I mentioned and they state it's not available to them to book as an award flight. Which, frankly, I'm not sure if that's true or the agents just aren't trained to know how to get around.

Have no fear, I will NOT give up. I will keep trying over the next few days. Thanks all for input/suggestions.
