Is TahitiTravel a legit travel agency?
 
I am trying to decide if I should use a travel agency for our first trip to French Polynesia in August for our honeymoon.

Has anyone used Tahiti Travel before?

Any other suggestions? Is it worth going through a travel agency rather than book yourself? Right now, the airfare is 1500 from LAX to PPT round-trip - was trying to decide if I should go ahead and book or not?

Tahiti Travel legit in business for 13 years

also Tahiti-tourisme.com another good one both out of LA.

Sometimes they can save but frequently better cheaper for me

to book air hotel separately bidding priceline can save a lot

get better lodgings www.betterbidding.com

Good packages on Orbitz.com sometimes also.

Always pay with CC and insuremytrip.com so no worries.

Do careful research shop around for best price.

Congrats!

Hi,

Actually this agency SHOULD have their CST# prominately displayed on their website according to law, but I did find one in the "conact me" area. A CST # stands for California Seller of Travel, and we are required to have one or be reported and fined by the Attorney General's office, and they do, so that's good!

Another good way to find an agent is through the official Tourism site -- www.tahiti-tourisme.com. On the right hand side there's a place for you to put in your zip code and find a Specialist near you.

Hope this is helpful!
