See previous comments. Didn’t take this flight because my other flight was so delayed. Ending up on two other flights as a result and was more than a day late.
Entertainment was not good. Seems like liquor should’ve been advertised only beer and wine was even though I saw others getting liquor didn’t realize I could. And the food to me could’ve been a little bit.
Business class Seats on the A350 from Nan to YVR were wonderful. The flight crew was okay but could do with better training. Toilets were clean but ran out of paper towels towards the end of the flight. The food/menu and the wine offered really needs considerable improvement. Dinner options were either Bolani, a beef sandwich (even this could be made much better), or paneer butter masala. Unfortunately, if you are not a fan of Fijian food, there isn’t much choice. Dessert was either turmeric ice cream or fruits but unfortunately, they were out of fruit! So the only option was turmeric ice cream. I’m not certain how many passengers like turmeric but I am not one of them. They need to cater to a more diverse group of people. Perhaps they need a new chef? The movies& tv shows were mostly older so I didn’t find that interesting either. It was however, fun to view the plane’s exterior cameras as we take off and land. The best thing about this flight are the business class seats.
Better connections, much better cabin crews, much cleaner aircraft than Qantas, American and probably others.
Fiji Business Class was value for money. Would do again for a long haul flight.
1.5Hrs to get from plane into terminal. Long wait. Flight to NZ 1 he late
Staff was very helpful, polite, efficient. Food was excellent. Business class seat very comfortable.
We recently flew on FIJI AIRLINES, what a breath of fresh air! From their customer service at the ticket counter/ Baggage check to the flight attendants on the plane! When I bought the tickets they were the least expensive too! I took a picture of one of the flight attendants scoop up a very fussy baby and walk her around the plane, to give her parents a break. I would love to submit, but don’t know how. Meals were great, also complimentary beer and wine was a pleasant surprise!
The business class seat was not very comfortable . Fortunately it was a short flight
check-in at sydney was a bit disorganized. one well-dressed woman appeared to be in charge, staring at others who were not ready and checking in passengers. one person at business class check-in, was sarcastic and only mentioned the gate assignment, no bother to mention the lounge access etc... the crew on board was stellar. so polite, helpful and respectful. the meals were great, endless beverages, and the a350 is spectacular with the seat/bed, amenity kit, television, bedding, headphones. first time flying fiji airways- honolulu- fiji-sydney, and sydney-fiji-los angeles, all in business class. their fares are much more affordable than other carriers. hopefully, one day, they will use a widebody aircraft from honolulu- fiji, since it is a nearly 7-hour flight and the 737-max 8, although comfortable, would be better with a widebody plane.
- Many airports in Australia and New Zealand have no place to sit at the gate - Boarding was a little disorganized but pretty fast - Interesting food served on board. Why a New Zealand airline had 3 choices for lunch and 2 of them are Mexican and the last one was Macaroni and Cheese? - Flight Attendants are nice and helpful. - Neither of the USB charging ports for the two of us are working? Our phone drained of charge after 13+ hour flight so when landing we cannot call anybody for pickup. - Internet service was free, but connection was so bad that nothing seems to get through - Beside Internet, other entertainments were excellent
We got to experience Premium Economy from Sydney to Auckland and it was a great experience wiht Air New Zealand. The crew was friendly and helpful.
I was not even on that flight and did not even book a ticket. Kayak did a phenomenal job
Great entertainment options on the screen. uSB A and C chargers. Free WiFi! Crew were excellent.
Check in crew member was very helpful, nice and excellent service👍
Lost my luggage and brought someone else luggage to my airport.
The issue was with getting our boarding pases. There were issues with our arrangements that were made through Kayak. I am sorry to say that we will not use you again because of this. The flight itself was good and the flight attendants excellent.
Economy was much nicer on the Air New Zealand planes.
At Coolangatta International it is difficult to hear voice boarding announcements when away from screen announcements.
Boarding instructions on one leg of my journey were not well communicated at the gate (Melbourne to Auckland)
They need to get in-house entertainment, also the charging stations did not charge anything, kept cutting off. So battery life was not long.
I liked the refreshments as the flight was short and the free WiFi. The seats were comfortable.
Overall, it was a very good experience. I would have given it a 10/10, especially based on our flight from SFO to Melbourne. The cabin crew on that flight were wonderful and incredibly attentive. They took extra care when setting up our beds so we could sleep comfortably without being disturbed. Dinner was served promptly and smoothly. I woke up quite late, when the flight was already preparing for landing, and the crew still made sure I was taken care of. They brought me English tea in a proper cup, and when it was time to prepare the cabin for landing, they thoughtfully transferred it into a takeaway cup so I could continue enjoying it along with some breakfast. Those small, thoughtful gestures made the long flight feel much more comfortable and special. The service from the SFO to Melbourne crew was truly excellent.
Loved the food and beverages available, spacious economy class, excellent entertainment
Helpful staff when I felt unwell. Qantas need to have an audio/music channel so you can listen to various music/.artists
Hard to move and get out of my seat when the passenger in front is in recline position.
Flight was 2.5 hours late leaving. We spent 50 minutes of that sitting on the plane with no explanation. They did reduce the time in the air so we arrived a little less late which was something. The cheese and crackers were okay but the wine was terrible.
Not great. The inflight entertainment was all on an app, and I did not want to watch a film on my phone. Also, the range of options of films was limited.
We were upgraded and after just a short delay in attending to a safety check we were on our way. Would definately fly Qantas International on their Dreamliner again.
Traditional economy class. Not a full flight so spare seats. Food and drinks were good
