Air Tahiti Nui flight
Hello there,
I used my Thank You Points to book a one-way AKL-PPT(stopover)-LAX on Air Tahiti Nui. I’m flying there via United miles to SYD then paid $160 for a one way SYD-AKL.
The main trip is NZ with 4 days in Tahiti on the way back to the US. What should I do with miles from that flight since it’s a revenue flight?
According to their [URL=’https://www.airtahitinui.com/us-en/club-tiare-codeshare-partners’]website[/URL] (see below), my options are limited. I have an AA account but that’s not going to work. It’s only 6600 miles so I guess it could be worse…
My question is are which of the programs listed below is the best option to open an account? I have the CitiPrestige so I’d guess Air France?

[*]American Airlines (Accruing AAdvantage Miles – It is no longer possible to accrue AAdvantage Miles when traveling with Air Tahiti Nui. This was effective for any flights that departed on or after October 31, 2009.)
[*]Qantas
[*]Air New Zealand
[*]Air France
[*]Japan Airlines
[*]Korean Airlines
[*]Aircalin
[*]TGVAir

I’d consider AF or Korean. Both can be easily topped with MR/UR.
