Air Tahiti Nui’s 2-For-1 Birthday Tickets Sell Out in Hours

Air Tahiti Nui is celebrating a record response to its 15th birthday sale with the airline’s first 2-for-1 promotion selling out within hours of going on sale.

The 48 hour sale was meant to run over October 16 and 17 but the lure of two tickets for the price of one to destinations like Tahiti meant there weren’t any sale seats left at close of business today.

Air Tahiti Nui General Manager New Zealand Mark Hutchinson said that by lunchtime, New Zealand agents had sold more than 1000 tickets to Tahiti, Los Angeles and Paris, including more than 100 in business class.

“We knew it was going to be big but we never expected to sell out this quickly,” Mr Hutchinson said.

“Our sales office went gangbusters and the result absolutely exceeded our expectations.”

Birthday celebrations will continue next month with all business class passengers who travel during November receiving a Robert Wan black Tahitian pearl.
