Business Class Flights to Bora-Bora, France

A group of islands in French Polynesia’s archipelago, Bora Bora – often referred to as “the jewel of French Polynesia" for its stunning beauty, crystal-clear lagoons, and luxurious resorts – has long been a popular tourist destination due to its location in the South Pacific, its tropical climate, and its beautiful beaches. Often described as one of the most beautiful places in the world and known for its luxury resorts, overwater bungalows, and white sandy beaches, the islands are a popular vacation destination for wealthy travelers as well as celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, who honeymooned there, and Beyoncé and Jay Z, who had their babymoon there.

More than 200,000 tourists fly to Bora Bora each year. Due to the region’s remote location, some travelers prefer booking a business-class flight to Bora-Bora for comfort. However, other travelers fly to Faa'a International Airport in Tahiti (Papeete) and then take a smaller, economy-class domestic flight to Bora Bora. Flights to Bora Bora arrive at Bora Bora Airport (BOB) – also known as Motu Mute Airport – located on the island of Motu Mute. The airport was built during the Second World War by the United States as a military base. Today, only two airlines maintain operations at the airport: Air Moana and Air Tahiti. Because of this, as well as Bora Bora’s remote location, cheap flights to Bora Bora can be difficult to find.

In addition to the area’s beaches and resorts, travelers who book tickets to Bora Bora also enjoy visiting the islands’ sites. Among the most popular of these is Bora Bora’s natural lagoon, sometimes called “The Pearl of the Pacific," a reference to its shimmering beauty. But the lagoon is not just a picture-perfect destination; it is also a thriving natural wonder, providing a safe habitat for marine life, including coral reefs, turtles, sharks, rays, and fish. The best time to visit the lagoon is during the dry season, which runs from May to October, offering optimal weather for water activities. At the lagoon, tourists can enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, and shark and stingray feeding. Some travelers may opt to rent an overwater bungalow so they can swim and snorkel in the lagoon directly from their dwelling. Visitors can also tour the lagoon on a glass-bottomed boat to view the diverse marine life, including manta and leopard whip rays.

The Bora Bora Lagoon is a top destination for many travelers, but its popularity often overshadows other amazing experiences for those looking to experience the island’s beauty and culture. A hiking tour in Bora Bora offers the opportunity to explore the island’s lush tropical landscapes and volcanic peaks. There are two main mountain peaks to explore in Bora Bora’s dramatic landscape: Mount Otemanu, reaching 727 meters, or 2,385 feet, and Mount Pahia, reaching 661 meters, or 2,169 feet.

A safari tour of Bora Bora’s tropical forests is another unique experience for travelers looking to explore the island’s natural wonders. Traveling via 4x4 across rugged hills and trails, tourists will have access to remote viewpoints as well as cultural and historical landmarks. Take in sights including tropical flora and fauna, including banana plants, mango trees, and hibiscus flowers, as well as exotic birds and lizards. Tour stops may also include World War II relics such as American bunkers, a reminder of the island’s role as a U.S. military base.

Some travelers may be hesitant about Bora Bora’s remote location and having access to essential services while vacationing. Pharmacy, emergency medical, and financial services such as banks and ATMs are available in Vaitape, the island's largest village.
