The trip
- Business: NAN → HNL → LAX
- Economy: MEL → NAN
- 2 stops · 7 h 50 min in Nadi (separate tickets), 1 h 30 min in Honolulu
- 28 h 44 min total travel time.
Before you book
- 2 separate tickets. Each stands on its own: if one is delayed, changed or cancelled, the airline on the other ticket doesn’t have to rebook or help you. Bags and check-in are handled ticket by ticket.
- Separate tickets, self-transfer: if the economy flight is delayed or cancelled, the business ticket is not protected or rebooked for you.
- Bags are not carried through: collect and re-check them in Nadi; allowances differ per ticket. The economy ticket includes no checked bag.
- Fiji: you pass Fiji immigration in Nadi to re-check. Check entry rules for your passport.
- Business on the Honolulu to Los Angeles flight is Alaska Airlines' domestic front cabin, smaller than the Fiji Airways long-haul business seat.
- USA: ESTA or visa needed, including for the Honolulu connection.
- Check entry and transit rules for every stop for your passport.
Hack Shield
Standard checksLong wait (7 h 50 min) · Re-check bags · Entry rules: Fiji
These are separate tickets. If your first flight is late, the airline on the next ticket generally doesn't have to rebook you.
4 more checks are summarised above but not explained here. The full Hack Shield checklist, with bags, entry rules, waits and what to do if your first flight is late, is part of Pro.
Hack Shield is general information based on the flight times we hold. It is not a guarantee, travel advice or insurance, and Kaviqa does not check visa or entry rules for you.
