@Matt D,
NAN-JFK is 7980nm, just under the 8100nm range for the A359.
So theoretically yes, but I would be surprised if there was enough demand to sustain this route.
I'm booked on NAN-LAX in early February. Keeping my fingers crossed that they put the new A350 on the route by then!
Unfortunately, our SYD-NAN flight is on a 737Max8, so we may not even make it to Fiji 🙁
@DJ
Ditto, except I’m booked in business on AKL-NAN and NAN-LAX in early March! Keeping my fingers crossed as well for the A350! I sent an email to Fiji expressing hope that they would jettison their two 737MAXs.
SO CLOSE!! We fly back on Fiji Airways Business NAN to LAX in about 3 weeks. Looking forward to the flight but looks like we missed the potential of getting the shiny new planes by a few months. 🙂
Surprised they're not following Air Tahiti Nui and installing a premium economy- seems like a market which could benefit from it.
How is AS's award availability for Fiji Airlines.
I think Fiji Airlines is an American Airlines partner for redemptions, isn't it?
@beachfan,
I booked my March, 2020 AKL to LAX in Fiji Business using Alaska miles. Availability is very spotty but possible with some flexibility in dates.
@beachfan searching for 2 seats from LAX - NAN, not a single flight shows any availability until EOS. So I would say slim to none is more accurate.
Is Fiji airways an official Oneworld connect partner with AA yet? I haven’t seen any updates but they were supposed to join up with AA at the end of 1st quarter 2019.
I would not be surprised if we ask see one of these on the HKG-NAN route. This is along with the West Coast flights one of the longest routes they operate.
Just looked and Alaska is showing Business class award space on the A359 in late March both from LAX to NAN and from NAN to SYD....
So tempted for 55,000 miles + $143.60 😀
