An Intro to Fiji Airways

With a vast network that spans 22 destinations and 13 countries, Fiji Airways has proudly connected North America with Fiji and the South Pacific for over 70 years. Pair this with award-winning service, easy to manage bookings and one of the youngest fleets of aircraft in the Oceania region, and it’s no surprise that Fiji Airways is the national airline of the Soft Coral Capital of the World. 

Onboard experience

As mentioned above, Fiji Airways has one of the youngest fleets in the region, this means that travelers flying on our Airbus A350, Airbus A330 and regional Boeing 737 aircrafts will enjoy a modern and enhanced inflight experience. Plus, thanks to improvements from previous generations, these newer planes are more fuel-efficient and better for the environment than the aircraft of yesterday.

Onboard, travelers can choose between business and economy class. While luxurious perks such as increased baggage allowance, specialty access to lounge facilities, fine drinks and dining, and of course, plenty of legroom can be expected when you fly business class, travelers who choose to fly economy can look forward to a comfortable experience complete with inflight meals and drinks, flexible baggage options and plenty of entertainment.

A focus on sustainability

Sustainability is a core focus in everything that Fiji Airways does. This can be seen not only in our choice of aircraft but also in the selection of onboard products and services that we offer. Additionally, Fiji Airways plants a tree for each aircraft that departs from our hub in Nadi, Fiji, helping to ensure the sustainability of our pristine home.

Destinations served

Our hub in Nadi provides travelers with unequaled entry to the Pacific from destinations in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and the Pacific Islands.

Those in North America can take advantage of daily and weekly departures from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu to Nadi. Once arriving in Nadi, our hub proves a convenient connection to destinations throughout Oceania such as Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne in Australia; Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington in New Zealand; and regionally to Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Kiribati and Tuvalu.

What’s more, through our partnership with the Oneworld Airline Alliance, Fiji Airways’ vast reach is increased to a total of 108 destinations worldwide. Plus, Fiji Airways is a partner in the Qantas Frequent Flyer, American Airline Advantage and Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan programs which allows members to earn and redeem points whenever they travel with Fiji Airways.

Why visit Fiji?

With turquoise waters, white-sand beaches and colorful scenery, Fiji is a tropical paradise that’s fit for every type of traveler. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, romance, adventure or fun for the whole family, Fiji has it all.

However, what really sets Fiji apart from other island getaways is the kindness and the welcoming nature of the locals who live there. The desire to be friendly and generous to everyone that Fijians meet is often referred to as the ‘Bula’ spirit and it can be felt everywhere that you go. Tourism Fiji put it best stating, “travelers to Fiji cannot help but soak up some of the Fijian happiness that is so pervasive—you arrive in Fiji as a visitor and leave as family.”
