What is Fiji Airways policy on hand baggage?
On Fiji Airways flights, passengers are allowed one carry-on bag (two carry-on bags in Business Class), with a maximum weight up to 7 kg (15 lbs) and one small personal item such as a laptop or purse.
What is Fiji Airways policy on checked baggage?
On flights to/from the US and Canada, Fiji Airways applies the Piece Policy to checked baggage (free baggage allowance and excess baggage fees). On all other Fiji Airways flights, the Weight Policy applies to checked baggage.
When connecting from a Fiji Airways international flight to a Fiji Link domestic flight, and vice versa, the international baggage allowance will also apply to the domestic flight if both sectors are ticketed on the same ticket. If ticketed separately, the baggage allowance shown on each ticket will apply.
No single piece of checked baggage may exceed 30 kg in weight and/or 277 cm (109 in) in total dimension (length + width + height).
