Passenger contact information in the PNR

It’s possible that the flight schedule may change while your client is already in Polynesia. Air Tahiti will be able to advise him directly but only if we know their contact information on each island (hotel name, for example) and the name of the in-bound handling agency.

This contact information is to be put in the OSI field of the PNR.

A well-built PNR includes information which contributes to the reliability of your client's trip

International arrival flights to Tahiti : this information will help us manage situations in which the international flight is late (delaying our flights, postponing passengers...).

If a PNR is built with active international flights (international reservations + Air Tahiti), the inbound and outbound international segments will automatically be transmitted to our Gabriel reservation system.

For independent reservations including only Air Tahiti flights, please manually insert the international flight information in the SSR field.

International departure flights from Tahiti : This information is equally very important when the client returns to Tahiti from the islands to take an international flight on the same day or even the next day. Contact information during the entire trip : This information allows the passenger to be notified in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Tahiti-Moorea and Moorea-Tahiti

Upon check-in schedules between Tahiti and Moorea (Schedule search), you will notice numerous flights, most of which are operated by Air Moorea (subsidiary company of Air Tahiti). Only flights with 200 to 299 flight numbers are operated by Air Tahiti by ATR aircraft. Air Moorea flights are operated by Twin-Otter and whilst the airport terminal in Moorea is the same as for Air Tahiti's flights, the terminals in Tahiti are separated by 200 meters. Air Moorea flights are marketed under VT flight numbers.

Flights operated by Air Moorea display a Y or N class (the latter being for night flights) ; flights operated by Air Tahiti display a Y class.

• The point to point fare is higher in N than in Y.
• Passes including a segment PPTMOZ or MOZPPT can be booked in Y (class N is not authorized).
