French Polynesia island hopping: keep the next arrival usable offline
Save the next booking, terminal, transfer and recovery details before leaving each island; verify the next island separately after arrival.
Treat every island change as a network handoff. Before departure, save the booking, check-in or pier, accommodation transfer, map and contact in one offline card. After arrival, verify the destination island and current plan terms, select one data line, and avoid deleting a profile while troubleshooting.
What the current sources support
Tahiti Tourisme describes inter-island movement by air and sea; the itinerary therefore changes operational context at every leg. [tahiti-tourisme]
Air Tahiti publishes check-in constraints and notes that some airports are away from the main island or village, so onward-transfer details belong in the offline pack. [air-tahiti-checkin]
The digital regulator lists multiple mobile operators, and Vini publishes island-level coverage material. Neither source proves service at a specific route or property. [dgen-operators] [vini-coverage]
The Letisim PF catalog currently returns inventory, but its quality is unverified. Price, allowance, network and activation terms stay on the live card. [letisim-catalog]
Choose by the next transfer, not the territory name
The same phone can need a different fallback on a short ferry and a remote domestic flight.
