๐ข Terminal Information
Fasme Airport (AAA) is a regional airport typically serving smaller aircraft and inter-island connections within French Polynesia. As such, its terminal facilities are modest compared to major international hubs. The airport features a single, compact terminal building designed for efficient passenger flow for both arrivals and departures. The layout is straightforward, with check-in counters located near the entrance, leading directly to a small security checkpoint. There are no extensive connections between multiple terminals, as all operations are housed within this single structure. Walking times within the terminal are minimal, typically less than 5 minutes from entrance to gate, making for a relaxed and unhurried travel experience.\n\nSecurity procedures at AAA are streamlined, reflecting the lower volume of passengers and regional nature of flights. Passengers can expect standard screening protocols for carry-on luggage and personal checks. Wait times are generally very short, rarely exceeding 10-15 minutes even during peak departure times. For international arrivals (which are infrequent and often involve private charters or specific regional routes), immigration and customs processes are handled within the main terminal building. These procedures are typically quick and efficient, though all standard documentation is required. There are no dedicated Global Entry or expedited lanes due to the airport's scale.\n\nAmenities at Fasme Airport are limited but cater to essential passenger needs. There are no elaborate airline lounges, but a small waiting area provides seating. Dining options usually consist of a single cafรฉ or snack bar offering local refreshments and light meals. A small souvenir shop might be present for last-minute purchases. Accessibility features are basic but adequate, with ramp access where needed and accessible restrooms. Due to its size, specific family facilities like dedicated play areas or nursing rooms are not typically available, though staff are usually accommodating to families traveling with children. Free Wi-Fi may be available, but connectivity can be inconsistent.
๐ Connection Tips

๐ข Terminal Information
Ahe Airport (AHE) is a small regional airfield on Ahe Atoll in French Polynesia, served primarily by Air Tahiti. Facilities consist of a single, simple terminal building adjacent to the runway with an open, islandโstyle design. Checkโin is handled at a small counter area, with passengers proceeding directly to the single departure room before boarding on foot across the apron. Arrivals exit into the same compact building where baggage is delivered in close proximity to the public area.\n\nThe layout is minimal and extremely easy to navigate. From the dropโoff area to checkโin is usually under 1 minute. From checkโin to the boarding area takes roughly 1โ2 minutes, and the walk from the terminal to the aircraft is typically 30โ60 seconds, depending on stand position. There are no buses, jet bridges, or transfersโeverything is at ground level with short walks.\n\nAs a domestic outstation, AHE does not provide TSAโstyle security screening for most departures and does not have immigration or customs facilities. Security is informal and consistent with local regulations for interโisland flights. International border formalities, when required for a journey, are completed at larger hub airports in Tahiti (PPT) or other designated points.\n\nAmenities are very limited. Expect basic seating, restrooms, and sometimes a small kiosk when flights are operating; there are no lounges, dutyโfree shops, or extensive dining options. Mobile coverage and WiโFi can be inconsistent. Ground transport is arranged directly with local guesthouses or by preโbooked transfers; there is no formal taxi rank.\n\nAccessibility is straightforward with groundโlevel access into the terminal. While dedicated accessibility infrastructure is limited, staff are accustomed to assisting passengers with reduced mobility. Family facilities are minimal; travelers should plan ahead for baby supplies and snacks, as there are no onโsite retail services.
