The Most Beautiful Flight - Air Tahiti to Bora Bora
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2022
- I traveled on Air Tahiti to explore the beauty of French Polynesian islands. My flight is from Papeete to Bora Bora with a stop at Huahine. I was invited to fly in the cockpit jumpseat on Air Tahiti ATR 72-600. Our first leg from Papeete to Huahine took about 30 minutes flying at 12,000 ft. We had a clear view of Moorea on the way.
Huahine is an island located among the Society Islands. Our flight brings in locals, tourists and daily supplies. Flying time to Bora Bora was just 15 minutes, at 4,000 ft. The weather becomes clear and I can see the turquoise-blue ocean and crystal-clear lagoon. The scenery was out of this world and it was one of the most beautiful flights I’ve taken.
There are no roads and no cars at Bora Bora airport. The only transportation is by boat to the main center or hotel. My flight back to Papeete was equally scenic, we flew low over some Tahitian overwater bungalow. Aviation plays an important role in transporting travelers and cargo supplies to these islands.
Love how the Captain gives a fist pump when his copilot makes a good landing
Yes, I noticed this Co-Pilot is a natural for this work! Wonderful to see... and glorious scenery as well!
By the looks of it, the co-pilot was still new at the company getting familiar with the aircrafts as you can see he only took controls before take off and took controls again before landing...
There seems to be more camera movement on the takeoff tha that landing. Smooth.
06:30
I need to tell my friend Dutch about this
One of the most friendly and kind flight crew I’ve ever seen on your channel, Sam! 👍👍
They are extremely friendly and willing to showcase their beautiful island flying to my camera.
Can you imagine being able to live and fly in that paradise every day? I can see why they are so happy.
@@SamChui a scammer in your channels, beware everyone!
6:31 That fistbump was LIT🔥you know it when you get a very good landing
The aircraft did not even shake that much during touchdown! #ButterSmooth eh!
What does lit mean? Oh this kiddy speak

Those flight attendants are so adorable.
The flight crews uniform is looking incredibly nice and well-designed for the tropical island like Tahilti.👍
Les ATR sont vraiment les plus adaptés pour la zone Pacifique. Bravo à Air Tahiti pour l’accueil de ce touriste un peu spécial, très professionnel ! Salutations à toute la Polynésie de Lyon 👋🏼😊
Scammer detected!
The crews and the pilots are extremely friendly. So nice to see them.
I really love to see how the first officer lands the plane so smoothly. Well done, Air Tahiti!!😍
Loved this, beautiful islands and people ❤️
Didn't expect you here, love your videos m8!
My first trip to Tahiti and Bora Bora was way back in 1987. Air New Zealand did the coral route back in those days, from Auckland to Nadi (Fiji), then to Rarotonga (Cook Islands) and onto Tahiti.
Can we go to Bora Bora
We just came from Bora Bora!!! What a beautiful Paradise! We stayed at Intercontinental Bora Bora, in an overwater bungalow. It was just fantastic. Air Tahiti is great too. Very smooth flights, very safe, absolutely nothing to complain.
P.S. Minute 10:54 - this is Intercontinental Hotel. At the end of the ponton, in the middle of the screen, the bungalow at the upper side, was our bungalow! Number 27 ❤❤❤
Sounds like you had a great holiday there! Congrats!
@@SamChui Thank you very much! ❤ Yes, we had a "one in a lifetime" holiday. Five weeks vacation in Singapore (including Formula 1 Weekend), New Zealand (Auckland and Rotorua), Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora and Thailand (just Bangkok this time).
We flight with Finnair, Air New Zealand, Jetstar Asia and Air Tahiti. All of them were beautiful flights.
For anyone interested, look for the pictures on Loredana Prodan page!
@@adrianadrianescu521 Sounds like an awesome holiday Adrian.
In 1976, I was fortunate to visit Bora Bora. I remember sitting on the top of the roofs of the shuttle boat. When the boat was docked at the main, the local kids took me and we’d jump off the roofs of the boats! Always dream of 1 day returning to Bora Bora. Yes Sam, it is Paradise!
Getting paid to fly around paradise all day !! Those pilots have the greatest job in the world IMHLO.
Dutch where is the monehhh
Just one more decent take
Great teamwork there..happy pilots and happy crew. Thank you air tahiti
Wow! What an amazing experience? Visiting the beautiful French Polynesia Islands are on my bucket list.
I've been in French Polynesia and use Air Tahiti several times with a Multi-flight pass (Huahine, Bora, Rangiroa, Tikehau, Mataiva, Fakarava, Papeete) and it's by far my best experience on an airline. Everywhere it's like landing in paradise so everybody is having a big smile on their face. It gives me the will to go back there.
The beautiful scenery makes people feel happy, and the staff on the plane are very enthusiastic. I think this is a very good trip. Please enjoy Mr. Sam's program.
Those ATR72 aircraft do a fantastic job in the Pacific. Fiji Airways and Air Vanuatu also use them on their domestic/regional routes.
Air NZ has a big ATR fleet too.
Aer Lingus also has quite a lot of ATRs
I find ATRs really comfortable. Feels a lot more stable that old DHCs. ATRs have a lot wider passenger sideview without drop down wheels. I'm surprised there's not a whole lot more variants.
My best greetings to Sam CHUI for this fantastic VDO.
AIR TAHITI is an awesome company with valuable people & a gorgeous network. I am sure these delightful pictures will contribute drawing more people to discover & enjoy everything TAHITI islands & great people have to offer.
Thanks Sam. I thought I will never these places. My dad loved these Islands and i couldn't help him see and he left us. Now my son says, one day he will take me there.
Thank you Mr Sam Chui for showing my little country to the world ❤️🇵🇫🇨🇵 Ia Ora Na
That copilot is amazing! Wish all my flight were so smooth.
Love the CRM in place, cool captain and F/O. Thank you Sam for these wonderful videos.
It is so nice how you interact with the crew. They are the unsung heroes of the sky!
First officers’ landing was smooth!
Love your conclusion at the end of the video: "...Aviation is providing that vital lifeline to all the remote islands and communities in French Polynesia..."
I took the exact flight from Tahiti to Bora Bora via Huahine - loved my trip and I miss it terribly.
Sincerely some of the smoothest take-off & landings I've seen. Thanks for sharing Sam.
Sam was definitely SMITTEN in this episode 😍😍
Perfect landings. Right on the touchdown zone!
Stopped in Bora Bora on a cruise a few years back, the most amazing island I've ever been to.
Mr. Sam Chui, I really LOVE to watches your remarkable videos to travels across the globe in joy to Africa, America, Europe ,Asia & other parts of the globe in 2022❤❤❤
In my past life, I was very fortunate to visit Bora Bora twice. It's heaven on earth. AMAZING island and people!
wait........wtf
Complicated way of humor
@Pål_lokomotivet just a saying where I'm from.
@@prflyr so this wasnt a joke?
@Pål_lokomotivet kind of. I did go to Bora Bora many years ago. I consider those days my prior life. When I was young and free to travel the world
Wow all the memories are refreshed from my trip to Bora Bora. Unforgettable trip. Truly a paradise 🙂
Beautiful islands! Thank you for the trip report, Sam 😊
Please anyone who get a chance to explore the world Do it. It is worhty. Thank you Sam for the great job and inspiring US. God bless everyone
More like this please Sam. Beats looking at business class seats.
The islands look amazing! I couldn't think of a better way to spend my day than island hopping! What a great day you had and what a great crew! Really awesome 🙂 Looking forward to your next video... as always!! 👍
Wow. What an experience. Fantastic video, look at the views! Can’t wait to visit Bora Bora!
Paradise, so beautiful..😍. So amazing how the world is so big & yet so small.
Sam, you look so relaxed while filming this in the beautiful islands of French Polynesian. The South Pacific does have an unique vibe that comfort's the human soul to embrace the beauty around you.
The flight crew is so friendly.. ♥️♥️
For Tahiti, I don't have words ♥. Thank you very much Brother ☺
That flight attendant is beautiful and so kind. What a great human being.
Sam, your passion for aviation is truly admirable. I flew to Air Tahiti when I visited Bora Bora in 2017 and the flight crew were very welcoming, kind, and offered me recommendations while in Bora (solo traveler). Thank for sharing your personal experiences and most important how aviation is a vital resource connecting the South Pacific islands.
Wow simply paradise! What smooth landing!
Another amazing video sam! first officer greased them landings for sure!
Congratulations Sam .You do a noble job to expose the world and me who is 72 years old . Unable to travel anymore.
Cheers.
wow the landing of the first officer is very impressive!!!
The french polynesia is big like Europe !!
Bellissimi posti!💙🌅💙
♥♥
Love this video it's picturesque stunning views friendly cabin and cockpit crew 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
This place is a total paradise!
Very cool captain, yes sir.
Sam, such an amazing view along the flight path👍🏻. Thank You for sharing this wonderful holiday video. Love it!
Hi Sam👋 That's awesome that they let you fly in the cockpit, the best seat in the house/the plane👍🙂
Even though the jump seat isn't the most comfortable seat, I'm sure that those uncomfortable feelings were melting away as you were enjoying those beautiful and spectacular views out of the windows👍🙂
Those two pilots are very lucky to be able to have those wonderful views every day from their office windows👍🙂
Best Wishes Sam, it's great to see how much you have been enjoying your trip to Tahiti✌🙂
The captain, who has the choice to move to flying a much bigger airplane but chose to remain flying in the islands and dedicate his career to serve the communities there. That's really admirable.
Respect to these pilot pros to keep these planes safe 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹✈️✈️✈️✈️
It has been my absolute dream to visit French Polynesia for as long as I remember. It's truly a paradise. Sadly I live on the other side of the world but one day I will get there!
it not expesnive to fly to Tahiti from LAX or Paris, but the 2nd leg to Bora Bora cost alot for 1 hour flight.
@@Cordycep1 I'd be going from London, so hopefully it's not too expensive from London, but the journey would be a long one! Also accommodation in places like Bora Bora will be incredibly expensive so I'll need to save a lot! 😅 But it is my dream so it's something i would invest my money into!
Pure Bliss. Thanks Sam for taking us to these exotic destinations
Very much enjoying seeing you in the southern hemisphere on your recent travels Sam. How beautiful are our South Pacific Islands. 😍
Living the Aviation dream Sam, Keep it up! Great vids :)
Loved the video….awesome islands and great crew🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💫always happy landings for the crew🛬🛬🛬
Sam, your videos are amazing! This was one of the nicest crews I've ever seen. Maybe, I'll get there one day!
Wow! Eso es compañerismo entre pilotos! Hacen un gran equipo!❤✈️
Trip to island beautiful journey 😊 on Airways flight
Sam again show us his commitment to aviation in its essence. It's wonderul how he delivers the same passion to this kind of local flights as well as he give it to international big airlines. Tks Sam for allow me to remember my experience decades ago in FAAA and those marvelous islands

Color of water is like ganga river. Beautiful
Always look forward to your videos on the weekends. Thanks Sam!!!!!
1999 since I was in Bora Bora, the most beautiful island I have ever seen.
Captain COOL 😎
Captain’s hand gestures just before taxiing at transit airport are really cool
Masha-Allah! Look at those islands.
Beatiful Island Awesome Flight.
My favorite show every saturday! I envy you for your unprecedented access to various things, such as flight deck interviews, walk around inspection with the captain. But, I must admit, you have totally earned it through your vlogs. I don't miss your posts at all. Yet another good video/vlog.
Amazing, such natural beauty everywhere.
Paradise indeed. Thanks Sam!
A very good friend and i always talk of someday visit those islands thanks for showing sam .
Oh my - going to Bora Bora is on my bucket list - looks stunning 😍
I have been watching sailing videos where people have sailed their boats to the same islands. So this is very interesting to see the contrast between the two forms of travel. One ancient and one modern.
Amazing trip! Such lovely flight attendants too... Beautiful dresses for their uniforms.
Stunning! You all are so lucky!
Love how the Pilots communicate and looks so friendly❤
The island look absolutely amazing.
Friendly! Love the hand gestures and fist bumps ✊
Oooh love your flying adventures Devine. And yes would fly them.
He nailed that landing!
Pilot and Co fist pump! Priceless!
What an amazing experience ❤🎉
What a wonderful video.
Mr Sam you look so amazing my brother, l have noticed that you like visiting everywhere, that's nice Mr Sam enjoy your life boss
