Thinking about flying on Business Class on your next trip to Fiji? We recently flew on the A330-200 Fiji Airways Business Class product when travelling from Auckland to Nadi.

Even if you are travelling to North America, why not have a beach holiday stopover on your way back? With our Fiji Airways Business Class deal to North America, you're able to do just that! Often Fiji Airways is a bit cheaper then other airlines that fly to the USA so it's a great budget-friendly option.

After visiting the Strata Lounge and Qantas International Business Class Lounge, we were very prepared for the short-haul flight to Fiji. The flight was scheduled for 2.05pm and we were happy that the flight left on time. Keep reading to find out more about our flight on the Fiji Airways Business Class product.

Fiji Airways Business Class Boarding

Business Class passengers have access to priority check in, boarding and luggage, which made this experience so seamless! We were one of the first to board and were immediately greeted by friendly staff.

Once seated, staff were so attentive, always coming around and checking on us. We were excited to receive a welcome drink before taking off, this being a choice between champagne and orange juice.

A lightly fragranced hot towel was also provided upon arrival as well as a bottle of Fiji Water of course! All these services happened in increments, making it feel like we were always being attended to. We were provided with a menu and later asked what we would like to eat and drink for meal service.

These small details is what brought Fiji Airways Business Class travel to the next level and was much appreciated by us!

Fiji Airways Business Class Layout and Cabin

The seats felt reasonably wide onboard the A330-200 Fiji Airways Business Class product, and although a bit of a dated plane, the cabin was clean, comfortable and well looked after.

The Business Class cabin features 24 seats in a 2-2-2 configuration, meaning you do have someone sitting next to you. However, it felt quite private because there was a divider in the middle next to the head of the seat. Once laying down, there is also much more privacy because of that middle divider.

In our seat, there were charging ports, a cup holder, water bottle holder, as well as smaller storage compartments in front and under the cup holders. In front of us were two storage compartments, a bag hook and plenty of legroom.

The seat had controls to our left with plenty of positions to relax in. Since it was a short flight during the day, we mostly just had our foot rest positioned up. To be picky, we would have liked to extend our legs without having to move down.

We did get a chance to try out the angled bed. There was no bedding or extra pillows provided to us- only the small pillow and blanket we got at the start of the flight. It was spacious and roomy though, but for us we found the chair was a little hard- not as plush as we would have preferred.

Fiji Airways Business Class Amenities and Entertainment

Onboard were 15.4” monitors with entertainment available. There were noise cancelling headphones available with the TV too. It is good to note that the monitor was not touchscreen and everything needed to be controlled from the remote.

There was a limited variety of new movies and TV shows to watch but expected on this older model plane. Unfortunately, we did not receive any amenity kit on board either. We were disappointed by this, as the small details are really important.

Fiji Airways Business Class Onboard Dining

We were very happy about the entire onboard dining experience with Fiji Airways. The whole service exceeded our expectations and the food was pretty decent.

Before meal service they laid out our cutlery and napkins and handed us a drink that we had ordered at the beginning of the flight. They also gave us a little bowl of snacks that were like cheese crackers/chips which was a great addition.

On the menu was a side dish, three choices of mains, two desserts and three different bakery options. We opted for the Huli-Huli Chicken Kebab, the Fijian Purini for dessert and had the Couscous Salad on the side.

The meal itself was presented very nicely, however we did have to wait another five minutes until we got the bread roll - I chose a piece of garlic bread which was quite small and not as warm as I would have liked. Overall, the meal was tasty, fresh and packed with flavour! It was nice to be able to have a traditional Fijian dessert which was super delicious and high quality.

There were a range of different drinks to choose from as well- including alcoholic, juices, soft drinks, teas, and other hot drinks. A key difference we noticed about Fiji staff is that they do everything with a very personal touch.

After our meals came out, they were checking up on us and would take them away as soon as we were done. This meant we were able to pop our tray table away and relax almost straight away.

During meal service, staff served us more drinks and then brought dessert out at a time they thought suited us. This made for a much more personalised service which we enjoyed and appreciated.

Fiji Airways Business Class Summary

Our overall experience flying Fiji Airways Business Class on their A330 product was delightful. The check-in and boarding process went smoothly and it was lovely to be greeted onboard with their friendly staff. The onboard dining was really enjoyable and we were appreciative of the three different mains to choose from.

We would have liked to receive an amenity kit to make our flight a little more comfortable. This product is a little on the dated side but is great for a short-haul flight.
