Baggage (cont.)
• Heavy luggage may be stored at the Papeete Airport Storage Office, located just 100 feet in front of the terminal (in the parking lot).
• You will be issued a receipt and reunited with the luggage upon your return from the islands. The luggage storage office is usually open as follows: — Every day: 2 hours before each international arrival or departure, and 45 minutes before each domestic arrival/departure
— Mon & Fri: From 5:00AM to 11:00 PM — Tue to Thu & Sat: From 5:00AM to 12:30AM — Sunday: From 5:00AM to 12:00PM & from 2:30PM to 12:30AM
Baggage Tips & Screening
To help with today’s rigorous baggage inspections, airlines have issued recommendations that make it easier for your checked bags to pass through screening points: • Always have personal identification tags on your luggage with your name, address, and phone number printed clearly, both inside and outside of your luggage.
• Mark your luggage with large, colorful decals or other personalization so that it can be distinguished from similar styles.
• Do not lock your baggage due to Transportation Security Administration screening of every checked bag (you may, however, use an approved TSA lock for your luggage – available at most luggage specialty shops); plastic cable ties may be used instead.
• Carry necessary items such as prescription medication in your carry-on bag (subject to security regulations – see “Carry-on Items” below).
• Airports may require you to remove your shoes when going through security; for convenience, you may want to wear slip-on shoes.
• Claim your luggage immediately upon arrival. • Keep an itemized list of luggage contents and their value.
Carry-on Items
For all flights to, from, and within the United States, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) strictly regulates items that can be carried through airport security screening. Since the rules are subject to change at any time, we strongly recommend that you check directly with your airline when you reconfirm your flight. You can also review the current list of permitted and prohibited items on the TSA website at
www.tsa.gov.
Traveler Tip: Once you’ve cleared the security checkpoint, most major airports have food and beverages available for sale that may be carried on your flight with you.
Customs Regulations
Paul Gauguin Cruises recommends that you register any foreign manufactured items, such as cameras, lenses, jewelry, watches, binoculars, etc., with U.S. Customs prior to taking them out of the country. Otherwise, you may be required to supply proof of purchase or pay duty on these items upon returning to the U.S. The U.S. Customs service publishes “Know Before You Go,” a travel booklet outlining current U.S. Customs regulations. This booklet is available free of charge by writing to the U.S. Customs Service, P.O.B. 7407, Washington DC 20044 or visit
