Will Smith goes on a famil?
Air Tahiti Nui recently escorted a Mega Famil Trip for Australian travel agents in conjunction with Creative Holidays, visiting Tahiti, New York and Washington DC, to help promote the airline’s one-stop service from Sydney to New York, via Papeete, demonstrating that passengers to the US east coast do not need to stop in congested Los Angeles mid-journey.
Pictured outside the Capitol Building in Washington DC are (L to R) Vince Leung (Carlson Marketing), Justin Fairbrother (Flight Centre Rockingham), Colin Dooley (Flight Centre Morayfield), Kerrin Strachan (HWT Wollongong Central), Brad Cridge (Creative Holidays), Rebecca Maizey (Creative Holidays) and Lauren Mc Rae (Flight Centre Wodonga). Front from left are Tanya Roden (Air Tahiti Nui) and Sally English (Flight Centre Geelong).
Fortunate enough to stumble into this star-studded group was actor Will Smith,
filming in New York’s Fifth Avenue (see second picture).
Air Tahiti flies three times weekly from Australia, departing every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday morning for Papeete, with onward nonstop connections to both New York and Los Angeles.
