CHEAPEST WAY TO BORA BORA
Here are 10 ways to visit Bora Bora on a budget
There's an airline called French Bee that flies from Paris -> San Francisco -> Pape'ete. Hop on from SFO and you might find a great deal.
LOW COST CARRIER
USE YOUR AIRLINE POINTS

PLAY THE LONG GAME
Overwater bungalows are possible on points. You just need to stick to a problem such as Marriott and build up your cache with cards like the Amex Marriott Bonvoy.
TIP #3
BRING YOUR OWN FOOD
As cheap as this sounds, save on the expensive meals at the resort by bringing snacks from home or even go extreme with cup noodles.
TIP #5
Free breakfast is typically included once you reach a top-tier status. Take advantage of this by having a late breakfast, turning it into a brunch.
STATUS MATTERS

TIP #7
THE KIDS MENU
Don't laugh. There's often some serious value with the kids menu especially room service. You'd be surprised!
