Auckland will first see the bird on 2 April followed by Brisbane on 21 April.
Is anyone planing on being on the inaugural AKL service?
Air Pacific has released details of its A330 schedules today, with passengers catching a glimpse of the new bird from April this year.
New Zealand – Fiji

- Brisbane will be the first city in Australia to see the A330 on April 21st, with the A330 flying there five times a week until July
- Sydney A330 flights start on June 8th. Weekly flights by A330 and B737 aircraft will increase from 13 to 14 in September, offering customers a double daily every day of the week and up to 17 flights a week during the peak season.
- The first Melbourne A330 flight will be in December. Combined A330 and B737 frequencies will increase from 5 to 6 in the December peak period.

A330s to Los Angeles and new B737 departure times to Honolulu

In addition, during peak travel periods, weekly flights will increase to 8 flights a week.
- Honolulu (via Apia) B737 flights will now depart Nadi at 13:35, instead of the current departure time of 20:50

The schedules look good -- and I would seriously consider Fiji Airlines for a trip next year (LA/Brisbane and then Auckland/LA with a layover in Fiji) EXCEPT from what I've seen on various web sites and Facebook, customer service and schedule dependability are not close to up to snuff. I would hope to see that change.
