The fascinating harbour city of Papeete, with its friendly people and exciting array of Polynesian flavour, will be a wonderful hub for exploration to other parts of Tahiti. Using a car, scooter, or taxi is the best way to fully experience the island, although for the adventurous types, try "le truck," an open-air wooden bus with a “hop-on, hop-off" informal style is a quite affordable alternative. Tahitian and French are the main languages spoken here, but English is also widely spoken in the city. Attractions in Papeete start in Le Marche, a marketplace filled with exciting wares, and a great opportunity to interact with local Tahitians. Pick up one of the black pearls indigenous to the island, or the local Tahitian oil Manoi.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Papeete?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Papeete could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Papeete?
It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Papeete, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
