The CHEAPEST way to cross the Pacific: Fiji Airways economy

Join me for the journey home from the South Pacific as we fly Fiji Airways from Nadi (NAN) to Los Angeles (LAX) aboard their flagship Airbus A350-900. Before heading to the airport, I share a look at the Sofitel Resort (including their unique remote airport check-in service!) and a word of warning about renting cars in Fiji—specifically a $30 USD cleaning fee you’ll want to avoid. At Nadi International Airport, we tour the Fiji Airways Premier Lounge, checking out the buffet, bar, and shower facilities before boarding. I give a full tour of the A350 economy seat, legroom, and in-flight entertainment system on this 10.5-hour flight. Finally, I break down exactly how I booked this flight using 31,000 Qatar Avios and the current cash prices that make this route a steal. Stay tuned until the end to see if we make our incredibly tight 38-minute connection at LAX with separate tickets! ✈️ Flight Stats: Airline: Fiji Airways Aircraft: Airbus A350-900 (DQ-FAJ) Route: Nadi (NAN) to Los Angeles (LAX) Flight Time: 10hr 21min Seat: Economy Cost: 31,000 Qatar Avios (Transferred from Amex) vs. ~$373 Cash 📝 Topics Covered: Sofitel Resort & Remote Check-in Fiji Rental Car Warning (Cleaning Fees) Nadi International Airport (NAN) Overview Fiji Airways Premier Lounge Review (Food & Shower) Boarding & A350 Cabin Impressions Economy Seat Tour & Legroom In-Flight Entertainment (Tail Cam!)
