5 Tips for Saving Money on Flights in Fiji
Flights are not exactly the cheapest way to travel in Fiji, so here are a few tips to help you shave off a few cents.
- If using Fiji Airways, book your international and domestic flights together to get the international baggage allowance for the whole way.
- Always enquire about child fares, especially for helicopters where children under three years old often get to fly for free.
- Book your domestic flights in Fiji through private browsing so airline websites will not use your browser information to increase their prices.
- Consider taking a flight one way and taking the ferry back, for example, to get the flight experience while reducing travel costs.
- Look out for domestic flight sales, especially in the summer season in Fiji.

To get to those hard-to-reach places, a charter flight or seaplane transfer can be an excellent way to get between the islands of Fiji. While planes can land anywhere there is an airfield; seaplanes can take you to the front of your waterfront resort (although you might have to get your feet wet). In terms of an intimate flight experience, planes and seaplanes offer cheaper prices than helicopters while also offering the option to go further to more remote islands if booking a private charter.
