Fiji Airways review by Michael 2015-11-04

What can we say for a little Pacific airline that has no experience in flight crew training and reservations. They have not changed a bit from the days when they were air Pacific. They were lucky to survive financial hardship in 1993 from Qantas who had taken over this pathetic airline. I booked on the YBBN/NFFN flight QF398 and found they wanted to charge me $39.00 dollars for a window seat. My God being a Qantas club member doesn't worry them a bit. Their service is crap like the food. As for reservations very poor. Because Qantas code share with this airline FJ pax get the option over QFA pax and if you not a QFA club member you will get charged a window seat. What rubbish I have being flying them since 1993 to and from Fiji. Never again, I will use Virgin or ANZ. Qantas should operate their own aircraft. EDITORS COMMENT: I don't understand why full service airlines charge for seat selection - Qantas do it for international flights too . For the emergency exit, sure, but for standard seats it just isn't right.
