pb1959 08:30 UTC 08 Feb 2012 | I am due to arrive at Papeete Faaa Airport next week at a very late hour and wonder if anyone could answer the following questions. 1) I have read reports that there are no longer any foreign exchange facilities at the airport -- is this still the case? 2) What would be the approximate taxi fare from the airport to the Sofitel Maeva hotel (apparently quite near)? Thanks a lot |

taranaki_chick 05:42 UTC 10 Feb 2012 | I did not see any money exchange open at the airport when I arrived there about 10 pm a few months ago. I heard that the taxis were like $30 to go the few miles into town so I stayed at the airport for the night and got a ride in the next day. The banks in town may open fairly early in the mornings but they would not exchange money until after 9am when they knew the exchange rate for the day. | 2
