I work at Nadi Airport and this is truly one of the finest reviews of the LAX - NAN route I’ve seen on RUclips. Every morning around 5am we get to see this flight land on our shores. Video is short, concise and great camerawork. Keep up the good work
Glad I found your video to show me what I’ll be experiencing on July 21 on flt 811, continuing to SYD on flt 911, also an A350. Now I’ll be sure to get in line early to check in. I return to LAX on a Qantas 787-9. It will be interesting to compare as I’ve never flown either. Thanks!
I was also very impressed with Fiji Airways' service. In a few weeks, I'm heading again to Brisbane and decided to take the same flight because of how comfortable it is.
Hi Jaychel! Thanks for this awesome video, very helpful! I’m planning on booking a vacation package to Fiji in May, we’d be flying your exact flight, from LAX to NAN at 11.55pm. Ive been having some issues trying to get in contact with customer service who haven’t replied to my multiple emails for info. I read some bad reviews about the airline and was starting to get worried so I found your video and it helped. I’m still on the fence, and don’t know what to do. In your opinion, is it worth taking the plunge and booking with them?
Hi Cristy! Overall we had a really good experience with Fiji Airways and we really loved Fiji. With the good deals going on right now we would highly recommend taking the trip over there :) It was our favorite tropical vacation we have ever taken. While the actual flight experience was really pleasant, the scheduling and customer service was as you mentioned a little challenging. We were initially supposed to fly out of San Francisco, but that flight got canceled and so we had to re book to LA which involved waiting on hold for quite some time. We weren't really told why it was cancelled, but we suspect it was because there was not enough demand for a Thursday flight out of SFO. In the end everything worked out great though. In my opinion since you are going over the more typical tourist season you shouldn't have any problems. We know quite a few people that have gone with the deals on the Fiji Airways website and have had a great experience :)
Great Video...I am going to Fiji in about 3 days and got some carry on baggage questions. During boarding, did they weigh your back pack? and for economy, is it strictly 1 carry on item? Please let me know. Thank You.
For the flight to Taveuni, they weighed us each with our backpacks on and truly allowed only 1 item! With such a small plane they needed to ensure that the plane’s weight was evenly balanced 😊 They didn’t weigh our carry ons for the large commercial flight from LA to Fiji.
Hi Jenny! They did not weigh our carry on for this International flight, but did when we flew on the smaller planes within Fiji. We also brought a personal item which we put under the seat in front of us! 🙂
Thanks for the details I needed. I’m planning for my 50th birthday in October and Fiji Airways keeps “calling my name”… I saw a video of their business class and my knees do not like to be in the same position for too long without pain!!! 😖😖😖 I’m still working out which supplements that works best for me…
Guys is it really safe to fly via FIJI airways from LAX to Melbourne Austrailia?It has a layover in Nadi and then to Melbourne.I don’t know much about the airline just wanted to make sure that it’s safe.Can someone plz help me and guide me.Where can I book the flight from?Thank you
@@JaychelAdventure thank u for the reply.Another quick question if there is a transit of more than 8 hrs will the airline give u a hotel to stay or that’s on the passenger
I have watched all the videos in the Fijian series. videos were best. i am from Bangladesh. i suggest you for travel Bangladesh. maybe, you are from America. you know. Bangladesh are very love American. you told in video. you was travelling LA to Fiji. please, visit our Bangladesh. you will enjoy our country. also, we bengali are very friendly. a lot love for Americans from Bangladesh❤❤❤
Hey Steve!! We were worried about that as well. We didn’t run into any issues with either Fiji flight! They didn’t weigh our carry on and they fit normal sized carry ons in the overhead bins! The smaller propeller plan was a little different though

Thank you so much for your comment Saifullah! That is so kind of you and definitely motivates us to keep making videos🙂
Can’t wait to do it again!
So exciting! We're headed to Fiji next week!
Yay!! Fiji really Is paradise!! Have a wonderful time!!
@@JaychelAdventure Thanks!
I’m so excited!!! We are going next month from Australia!!
YAY!! You’re going to have a blast 💚
Very good insight on Fiji Airways..... going to Fiji in June via Fiji Airways through San Fran
We flew back through San Francisco! It was a smaller plane but still a great flight!

We are glad you enjoyed the video! :) That sounds like an awesome trip! I agree it will be interesting to compare the 787-9 vs A350!!

Beautiful plane and cozy cabin ambience. Short but informative. Well done!
I enjoyed the video. My wife and I are planning a trip there for the Spring of 2023.
This was good. Thanks
Thank you!! Appreciate that 😃🙂
Great video and commentary. I may look to use them after seeing your video. Thanks.
Great to hear!!
Nice review!
Thanks Simon!!
For your seats, were you able to recline at all?

Great video
Thank you for show casing our national Carrier and we love any feedback to keep improving! Vinaka
Agreed with your review . They quit using the cardboard food boxes and the food was nothing to write home about but the service is great.

Bula!
BULA friend!!!
Do you remember what the headphone jack was like in the A350? Was it a single or double? Thanks!
How was the seat recline space sitting in front of the lavatory? Was it normal like the other ones or limited?
Oh great question! From my memory - yes! I think we had full recline
Hi how much is allowed luggage or how much is the luggage fees?
Did the seats on the last row fully recline?
Did the airlines weigh your carry on bags? Did you also take a personal item?
Hi Jenny! They did not weigh our carry on for this International flight, but did when we flew on the smaller planes within Fiji. We also brought a personal item which we put under the seat in front of us! 🙂
I from fiji😗😗fiji is nice co
Did you book a window and aisle hoping for an empty middle?
Not this time! We just booked in the back and got lucky 😊
Nice

Happy 50th!! 🥳🎉 hope you enjoy celebrating in Fiji!!
@@JaychelAdventure 😃 Thank you! I think that I won’t want to leave… 😬
@@commonsensecorner7275 we talk about moving to Fiji probably every week 😂 literal paradise!!
@@JaychelAdventure That settles it for me then!!! 🤪🤣🤣 I’m actually getting ready to watch your video again to take notes this time. 👍🏽
ONE HOUR to check in??? Glad I'm only bringing a Backpack 🇫🇯
Saves time for sure!
LAX is my Home airport. 1 hour is ridic. Guess 2 yrs ago things were crazy busy after Covid tho
@@camselle we were definitely in the post-COVID flood when travel was opening up!
How much round trip from Sydney to SAMOA
Not sure! Google flights is a good resource for that.

Definitely a safe and reliable airline to travel on 🙂 you can book through google flights or directly from Fiji airlines website! Best of luck!!
@@JaychelAdventure thank u for the reply.Another quick question if there is a transit of more than 8 hrs will the airline give u a hotel to stay or that’s on the passenger
@@eliasayaz5654 that’s usually on the passenger!

Any issues with carry on bags. Heard a 15# weight limit. Any info?

The food they served looked awful! Like a budget airline.
