Access - Fiji Airways

[its_dunks]

Hi Team!

Hope everyone is doing well.

Just hoping someone can clarify for me as I can’t seem to find direct info for my question.

I am flying Fiji Airways from SYD - LAX. I booked a FJ flight number.

I am a Gold Qantas flyer and wondered if I get any lounge access at either of the legs of my flight (Syd, Nadi, LAX)

I am travelling with my wife and kids so hoping I can jag something to help!

Any assistance it appreciated

What class of travel?

If whY, unfortunately probably nothing ex-SYD but I believe you’ll get lounge access in NAN. Probably nothing in LAX.

If booked with QF codes, you’d be guaranteed QF J lounge in SYD as a QF Gold.

Economy class I’m afraid! Sounds like I should book a ticket at The House in Sydney. LAX is where I was hoping to get something on the return leg

Unfortunately FJ as a Oneworld “Connect” member is a real letdown (if not out right confusing) particularly when it comes to lounge access policy.

You are at least entitle to priority checkin and boarding.

Ok, thank you for your help. I’ll look into a purchase for The House. I think 3hrs at the airport with kids would drive me nuts so will be worth it! Thank you

I think it’s about $60 per adult and $40 per child which is well worth it IMO

I know this thread is old but just wondering if it is indeed possible to access the FJ lounge in NAN as a Gold QF flying an FJ economy flight.

2x adults, 2x 17 year olds, only 1 QF gold


ETA, cost to enter lounge is FJ$135 each!

Basically Zero chance with that number of people.

Official policy is only 1 guest (the included child guests is only applicable at Qantas operated lounges). Additionally unless the flight is QF marketed and FJ operated then you aren't eligible for access.

The lounge is apart of priority pass and whilst nice not worth over AU$90 per person. I paid ~AU$54 via dragon pass last year although it now seems dragon pass has been removed.

To save a few bucks, sign up for Dragonpass through MyRegus - DragonPass is still accepted. https://www.fijiairways.com/en-us/experience/fiji-airways-premier-lounge/

DragonPass is still accepted.

Are you sure about this, Nadi has disappeared from my dragon pass app and the dragon pass website.

Thanks for this info.
I've set up the Dragonpass, can't see Nadi unfortunately, but could be useful for elsewhere

When I was passing through last month, it indicated Priority Pass and Dragonpass were accepted, but they might have changed it since then.
