I did some Qantas reward searches months out in the future and found numerous LAX/SFO - NAN options on the days they operate the flight. Good info because that's on my bucket list.

Please read the Wikipost regarding FJ awards to NAN etc. These awards can’t be seen on aa.com, and often enough AA personnel can’t see them. Mindpearl (AA contractor in Suva, Fiji operating as AA Australia and New Zealand) can See and book - or put the award on hold somit can be completed with Flights to LAX or SFO (or HNL if you reside in the Islands).

I've had no issue booking FJ awards using AS miles, and did so this past October for two seat in J LAX-NAN-SYD. I'm looking to book a similar trip in December (with AA miles this time), but it seems that availability (both for Y and J) just dries up past Dec 9th. Has anyone had this issue - perhaps they block all awards for the Christmas/holiday season?

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried/been able to book something like NAN-AUS/NZ- PPT as one award, flying with FJ from NAN-AUS/NZ and then Air Tahiti Nui from AUS/NZ-PPT?

The routing must be sold as an unconstructed ticket by the prevailing carrier. You must not exceed MPM (Maximum Permitted Miles). |

It long ago Fiji Airways (Air Pacific in those days) had more capacity, as they were using Boeing 747-400s leaded in from Singapore Airlines. Those routes are now operated by Airbus A300-200s (and one -300). In my opinion, reduced capacity has hurt Award availability.

US AAdvantage department seeing FJ Space Again
Just booked my first trip to Fiji. Burning AS miles out, AA miles back. Thought I would add that I called the regular US based AAdvantage department to book, and they had no trouble seeing the FJ award space (which I initially found on using AS site). So it looks like that issue with having to call AA's Australian line for them to see the award space may be over.
Unfortunately no J space was to be found. Doing the SFO gateway and still no J. Going to paradise on miles, so can't complain. Still, at 6'6'' I hope I can score an exit row. |
