California-Tahiti fare war brewing
Late last year, Paris-based French Bee announced it would fly nonstop Airbus A350s from Paris to Tahiti with a stopover in San Francisco.
That was such a good idea, that United copied it, and announced that it, too would offer Boeing 787 Dreamliner nonstops between SFO and Papeete, Tahiti's capital city, twice per week starting on October 30. Fares have been falling ever since.
