Haiti / Tahiti


So, the policemen find the photo of the presidential palace in Haiti's capital (Port au Prince), which collapsed in the 2010 earthquake. One of them recognises the place because he saw it many times on the news about the earthquake. Then they assume that the Brennans are going there, so they look for them on the flight to Tahiti, obviously without success. That was funny, but the Brennans were on the flight to Venezuela and not to either Haiti or Tahiti. Was this just a mistake in the movie, or what? At the moment they said there were no more flights to Tahiti, I thought they were going to Haiti and that they were lucky the policemen didn't know much geography and mixed the two countries. But once it was revealed that Venezuela was their destination, I got confused about the purpose of the mix-up.

I think you misheard, Tahiti was never mentioned. They were checking flights to Haiti because of the photo, but that was either a deliberate diversion by John to throw them off the scent, or the photo had some other meaning.

reply

Yes, Tahiti was never mentioned. John used the photo to throw the police off, which is why they could only find half of the map. He had probably burned or otherwise permanently disposed of the rest, which contained the vitally important information.

it was deliberate. when he tears down his Wall Of Jailbreak Plan and bags it up you see him put one black bag in his own bin and the rest in the car which he then throws into another bin somewhere else. the police search his home and surrounding area, find the bag he wanted them to find but never discover the rest

Seen this movie a bunch of times... don't ever recall Tahiti being mentioned.

And I think it was already told couple times above. Rayvio explained all.

I didn't need any explaining. :) Just confirming to the original poster what others are saying.
