Recent Traveller Feedback
Flew Nadi to Sydney on Value fare with a 55 x 40 x 23 cm rollaboard weighing 6.8 kg plus a laptop bag. The gate agent weighed the cabin bag on the scale but did not check the personal item separately. It fit under the seat without any issues. The 7 kg limit is strictly enforced at Nadi airport so I packed light to stay well under the limit.
I booked the cheapest Lite fare from Auckland to Nadi and brought a rolling carry-on plus a backpack. At the gate they pulled me aside and said my carry-on was too big for the Lite fare allowance. I had to pay NZD 130 right there to check it into the hold. It was way more than if I had just upgraded to Value fare or added a bag online ahead of time. Now I always double check what is included in the fare before booking the cheapest option.
130 NZD
Travelled with our 8 month old on a domestic Fiji Link flight from Nadi to Suva. We gate checked our collapsible stroller right at the aircraft door completely free of charge. It did not count toward our regular baggage allowance at all. The staff were very helpful with families. We were on Value fare so we also had one 15 kg checked bag included.
