From 31st March 2019, Qantas is launching new direct flights from Sydney to Fiji. This will meet the growing demand from customers and making it easier to holiday in Fiji. This Boeing 737 aircraft service will operate 4 times a week to Nadi. Qantas will offer a checked baggage allowance plus inflight entertainment and food and drink will all be included as part of the fare. Business class option is available. These flights will add to Jetstar’s direct service which operates four times a week. The Qantas flight will add more than 75,000 seats on this route annually. Customers can now fly 6 days a week to this popular holiday destination.
Alison Webster Qantas CEO said “Fiji continues to be an incredibly popular holiday destination for Australian families, couples and adventure and luxury travelers, with a number of new luxury properties having opened up on the islands in recent years, we have built flexibility into our network to respond to growing demand where we see it. In this case, its’s a return to Fiji after almost 20 years, a short four-hour hop from Sydney, helping extend the summer for Australians year-round.
