Fiji-HNL, HNL-LAX BF?
Do you guys know if the service from Nandi-HNL is businessfirst? I know the metal is a 738 but is the dining the BF? with Champagne?
I know HNL-LAX is BF dining and do they stock bubbly on that sector also?
Lastly, does anyone know what lounge CO uses in NAN?
ANZ i guess, but isnt it closed at 7am in the morning

Neither of the flights you mention are BF seats or BF dining. It's domestic first seats and dining. LAX-HNL is not BF dining. Big difference on both accounts, but better than the alternative - coach.

NAN-HNL in Intl. Business. Catering is different than for domestic F, and of slightly higher grade. Hard product is of course the same as domestic F.

I think it has to do with flight duration and nothing to do with intl business. I've done latin america in "intl business" 4 times in the last few months and it's the same food as, say, IAH-DEN.

a difference between "international business" and F is also lounge access.

There is a thread somewhere about which 737's have it which don't, and the few exceptions to particular aircraft missing it still. You can;t be assured that a particualr route ALWAYS has it as Co doesn't dedicate a particualr plane to a particular route.

There are personal TVs, but Direct TV will get reception only for a while before you're down to the video loop. The earplugs provided aren't that good, so you might want to bring your own noice cancelling plugs/phones if you have any.

ANZ website says the ANZ lounge only opens 3 hours prior to ANZ departures from Fiji....continental leaves 45 mins after the ANZ lounge opens.
Does this mean NO business lounge at Nadi for CO buz pax??

Yes, sorry Charlie. There will be no business lounge for you to use. If you have a bit of time in the airport (it's a terrible airport btw), you can pay to use the other lounge. It's really cheap - $15 or so. You can also sit outside that lounge and pickup their free wifi.

The NZ lounge in NAN is unremarkable so you won't be missing out too much.
