hi all, just want to post my experience with Fiji airway and why you should NOT fly with them.
A few days ago my wife and I left Hawaii to go to Fiji as our last leg of a 5 week honeymoon. Get to the check in gate and notice everyone is having to put their carry on bags into the dimension box and not 1 bag is fitting in.
We get to the counter and like everyone else our international size carry on didn't fit in. Upon closer inspection not even normal domestic carry on would fit into this tiny dimension box.
The hit us with $120 USD PER BAG fee as it now had to be checked cause it didn't fit.
While waiting in the lounge I took some photos and did some measuring compared to a Hawaiian airline domestic dimension box using my boarding pass as the comparison.
There was an extra 2-3cm of space on the Hawaiian domestic box compared to the international Fiji box.
Not 1 passenger got through without having to pay extra for their carry on, everyone was very angry.
Upon more research Fiji airway dimensions for carry on offer 1cm less length and 3cm less depth than Qantas, American airline and British airway which is completely unfair.
Do NOT fly with Fiji air unless you are happy to pay through the nose with bullshit fees.
Worst thing is, we fly home to Melbourne om Friday with Fiji and will cop it again.
