Fiji Airways review by Shaun 2016-01-09

Here are the issues you'll find with flying with FJ long-haul: - Pitch is miserable - 31" compared to around 34" on NZ A320. With the seat reclined in front of you your tray table will definitely be in your lap. - Seat seems to be an Airbus base product. The cushioning is incredibly thin and I guarantee you your butt will get sore and you won't find a comfortable seating position. - The pilots are hyper-sensitive to turbulence and the seat belt sign. I'm more than aware of turbulence and the correlation with safety however it was over the top. And on each occasion the cabin crew must be seated. - Fiji prides itself on island time. However this can be used in-flight to mean wait for ages to get anything. We were in row 28 and there was no separate beverage service - instead you had to wait 2 hours for a drink and dinner. - Catering very poor. No choice aside from chicken curry or vege. Portions small, no dessert, one drink. - During the flight I went to find some water. Down in the galley there was one attendant and she was having a nap. - Breakfast is served a ridiculously early time of around 3 hours prior to arrival. Full lights on, you have no choice but to wake-up.
