Air Tahiti Nui Enhances its Premium Experience

Air Tahiti Nui has upgraded its Moana Premium Economy services and accessories. The transformed travel class, set to launch October 1, has been renamed Mānava Premium Class.

Mānava means “Welcome.” The name evokes the warm hospitality of The Islands of Tahiti, which can be experienced the moment the journey begins aboard the Tahitian Dreamliners.

Air Tahiti Nui introduced its intermediate class, then called Moana Premium Economy, in 2018 during the renewal of its entire fleet. The wide Zodiac Aerospace Z535 seats still offer comfortable legroom, adjustable footrests, and a seat back that reclines up to 7.8 inches.

The airline has now decided to optimize its in-flight service and accessories to enhance the travel experience in Mānava Premium class, which now includes:

• A complimentary welcome drink upon boarding for a fruity-tasting arrival with tropical notes.
• A completely redesigned meal selection, with refined recipes made from carefully selected ingredients and designed to awaken the senses.
• A wider and more sparkling drink selection, combining a Crémant with a variety of wines served in elegant glassware.
• New pillows, softer and larger, available on every seat.
• More comfortable and reusable headphones, available throughout the flight.
• A redesigned eco-friendly comfort kit.
• Improved table service, including real cutlery and recyclable plates.
• Access to the fast security check lane, available in Papeete, Auckland, Paris-CDG, and Seattle airports.

Other benefits of the Mānava Premium class include a baggage allowance of 50.7 pounds and access to the dedicated check-in lane.
