Suzanne, thanks, that was my thinking as well--better to be tired in my own bed! As for the earlier flight, I presume you mean from Papeete. Yes, that is certainly something to consider. Do you know it's waitlisted for sure? I can ask Ngaire about that, thanks.

(Edited to say that there is no earlier flight from Papeete, not on ATN.)
