This page covers a direct flight to French Polynesia. If your route connects through a third country, that country may require its own transit visa — sometimes even for a short stop inside the airport between flights (a layover). Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
You're travelling to French Polynesia (PF). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
Your itinerary touches Ecuador (EC), where malaria transmission occurs. Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season. Discuss prophylaxis with a travel medicine clinician — the right antimalarial depends on the specific region, your medical history, and any medications you take.
Your itinerary touches UIO at ~2812m (~9230ft). Above ~2500m / 8200ft, roughly a quarter of unacclimated visitors experience some acute mountain sickness symptoms (headache, shortness of breath, fatigue) within the first day. Plan a slower first 24-48 hours, hydrate, and avoid alcohol on arrival. People with heart, lung, or sickle-cell conditions, and pregnant travellers, should discuss with a clinician before booking — some itineraries warrant prophylactic acetazolamide or a route change.
