Papeete Airport
Traveller Comments....
"Off to the left of the main terminal was a small pavilion with roof, and three wooden benches, it was almost too good to be true! " (Heather)
" I wandered around the terminal a bit and finally found the holy grail of the airport. A 3 foot wide platform/bench that nobody had yet claimed." (Krissi)
"Woke up the first time to find a rat nibbling on my toes." (?)

We spent a night at the airport before getting on the 6am ferry over to Moorea. We first tried the tables in the cafeteria area, then some of the benches in the departure lounge. We finally settled on the floor (concrete) directly in front of the roll up door to the car rental counters, which was closed and locked around 11pm. However, they don't turn off the aircon at night, and it seeps out under the door. I was actually quite cold, and had to dig out a sweater. Car rental counters open again for the first flight of the day (that happened to be around 5:30am), but we had a solid 6 hours of air conditioned floor time. It was as good as could be expected, though we kept one person on guard to shoo away the roaches.
