Creator's Key Takeaways

I think Fiji Airways is hands down the best small carrier that I've flown in quite a long time

this rendang was one of the better dishes that I've ever had in the air

I'd happily fly them again and if I was able to get all a350 flights I'd be more than happy to try them from the US to Australia or New Zealand

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pay attention when choosing seats as rows are staggered and not all rows have the same number of seats
Consider bidding for an upgrade if you want a better chance at a business class seat on an A350
