Is FJ a good option for travel to avoid high surcharges? Thanks.

If you're crediting to AAdvantage (guessing from your profile) you'll regret it when you see your earnings. That would be the same as booking an AA code on a RTW, and earnings are dismal.

If that's not important then I don't have the answer as I personally won't use an FJ code on a RTW since they joined AAdvantage. The good thing is that on their Asia-Fiji routes there are better codes available on all of them. I don't know if that's the case from Fiji to North America.

I would say the Fiji lounge is mid, but their location in the middle of the Pacific along the great circle routes between North America and Oceania makes them a great option for not detouring too far while travelling between the two.

Any updates on booking FJ? Started looking at this for my next RTW. Got stuck on timing. Thinking Spring/Early Summer in Europe, Summer/Fall in US then Winter for Fiji/Aus?

Anyone have a routing/timing that they prefer? An event that they try to work in? Thanks.
