Thanks @Mwenenzi - this is a Global Explorer DGLOB34 ticket, and I'm following/posting on the OneWorld forums. My question was about BA being unable to book this routing and NAN being 'blocked' in some capacity, and whether any of our forum residents might know why that would be as BA's booking advisor simply says it's not possible.

Mwenenzi

Is FJ operating a flight on the day that is open to a cash booking (as a test)?
From what I have read on the OW forum booking with BA will have a lot of "carrier surcharges" where the same route with a different airline (like AA) will not
I suspect BA have not booked many of these OW tickets with FJ.

Please advise how to book LAX-NAN-LAX using AA miles in Business? Only economy options show up on the website

Mwenenzi

This is the BA forum, so way off the topic of this thread
AA forum has dedicated thread---->FJ / Fiji Airways (ex-Air Pacific) and AA, miles, awards, etc. (consolidated)
FJ and/or AA may no be offering business class awards at the time you want

With NZ relaxing quaratine requirements soon i'm looking at sunny winter break ideas, and wondering if there's any possibility to use Avios on Fiji airways yet? cheers!

Mwenenzi

offish topic
Does "winter" mean northern or south hemisphere winter?

Do not be too hasty. 10-14 days* self isolation will be required for a long time [~Oct? _ time line not clear] (*depending on the rule at the time)
.*Link 1 * and *Link 2*

pogonation

Just wondering if anyone knows if tier points can be earned on FJ? I can see that next to 'Earn mileage rewards' and 'Redeem mileage rewards' here there are * saying they will be available at a future date however there is no star next to earning tier points. I am guessing this is an oversight however it would be great if someone knows the exact score at the moment?

That said the link you provided does say " Earn frequent flyer status points " under the **ed entries you refer to

yet the BA tier point calculator does not mention FJ British Airways - Collecting Avios

so i am now as confused

Quote messaging myself.
I called BA today to try to book CHC-NAN, lots of space showing up via AA's search tool.

The phone agent told me FJ is not a BA partner, and I can't make avios bookings on FJ.

I scrolled back up this thread, avios redemptions should have been possible from 2018 onwards but hey ho

Have a trip coming up with Fiiji Airways, and I am BA Silver. As a Sapphire, do I get access to preferred seating on Fiji Airways free of charge?

Bullswood

Have you tried just selecting seats on FJ website Manage Booking? As far as I'm aware, free selection except first 4 rows of A350 economy extra legroom for which charge applies regardless. OW status doesn't get you much under the odd "OW Connect" relationship - no lounge access SYD or NAN if in Y, for example.

Hi all

I’ve been reading this thread back since 2018 and wondering if there’s been any updates. Also referring to this article from a third party website which seems to have a table taken from the Oneworld website.

Has it been ascertained if you earn BA TPs for flights with FJ? I have a booking from LHR - NAN with AA. The flight to LAX is booked with AA and the flight to NAN has an AA flight number.

I would obviously get BA TPs on the leg between LHR and LAX but would I get them on the flight from LAX to NAN? Would I even get AAdvantage loyalty points if I removed my BAEC number?

jerry a. laska

No changes.

No TPs LAX-NAN. You can earn AA miles if you credit to AA but a better question for the AA forum.

Thanks for prompt reply.

Very disappointing given certainly my interpretation of the 2018 documentation implies that it will generate TPs - and indeed BA includes LAX to NAN on its own site!
