1 review and 5 photos of FIJI AIRWAYS "Their baggage policies are a pain and they don't open checkin very early, which can be a pain since I assume a lot of people are n Brisbane on a layover. They wouldn't check my bag all the way through because I had a layover of most of a day. They insist upon reviewing every carry-on bag, although they were okay and let me shift things around.
After my fight from Australia to Fiji I give it two stars, but the much longer flight from Fiji to the US gets it an extra star at another locatio. The shorter flight was on a plane without individual screens and they Reid to make everyone watch the original Ice Age, which was made in the ice age, in movie years. The lifts were on almost the whole time even though it was a redeye. The staff were friendly and helpful in the limited way I saw required. They gave us a meal even though the flight left at midnight. Surprisingly, based on what id heard, we arrived early.
The longer flight was on a bigger plane with seat screens. The staff were again fine to good. They gave everyone a toothrbush.
The food overall is about average--better than the terrible (like Alaska), worse than the pretty good like Asiana or New Zealand.
Their technology is garbage. I couldn't select seats online and had to call. I couldn't check on my reservation or check in online and I had to call.
Oh, and it's annoying that they actually weigh every carry-on. People need to carry electronics with them, and electronics are heavy. Spare batteries must be carried on rather than checked, and those are heavy."
