Sample Itinerary To French Polynesia

With this promotion, you can purchase enough miles for a one-way Business Class award to French Polynesia for a cost of $1,296.52, that works out to about $.021 cents per mile, not a great deal.

We redeemed 150,000 SkyMiles each to fly to French Polynesia and demonstrated how to redeem Delta miles to do so. It was a great trip that we couldn’t have done with the use of airline miles due to the high cost. The one-way award ticket requires only 60,000 Air France miles and $262.20 in taxes and fees.

Bottom Line

This promotion may be good for those looking for two tickets to French Polynesia but only enough miles for one ticket. The cost to max out this promotion is $1,296.92 or $.021 cents per mile. Not as good as the buying or sharing US Airways miles promotion that is currently running through October 31, 2012, but this is still worth a look if you are thinking about buying an Air France ticket.
