Bora Bora Airport

Also known as Motu Mute Airport, thanks to its location on the island of Motu Mute, Bora Bora Airport has been the main gateway to the islands since it was first opened for commercial flights back in 1958.

The only airline that flies to Bora Bora Airport is Air Tahiti. The national carrier connects the island group with other destinations in the archipelago including Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia.

How to get around Bora Bora

Thanks to Bora Bora's unique geographic layout - the centre of the island is made up of an extinct volcano - the main form of transport in the archipelago is boat. Both public ferries and private shuttles connect various parts of Bora Bora, making it easy to get out and explore.

If you're staying on the main island you can also useLe Truck, Bora Bora's public transport system, or hire a bike or a scooter for the duration of your stay. If you do decide to rent a bike of a scooter, you'll find the roads are relatively quiet and, as long as you avoid the rugged interior, pretty flat.

Must-see attractions in Bora Bora

The most prominent attraction in Bora Bora is Mount Otemanu. One of the two ancient volcanoes that make up the island, the peak rises to 2,400 feet above sea level. If you're feeling energetic, you can hike to the top of the mountain for spectacular views of the surrounding area. If that sounds a little too much like hard work, book a 4x4 tour of the volcano or take in views of the peak from a cruise on the lagoon.

We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be breezing through the airport and exploring Bora Bora in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bora Bora?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Bora Bora a pleasure. Below you’ll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
