Consequences of Ditching Last leg of an Itinerary

[drcam]

Haven't booked yet.
@Forg, it's my mum and dad, not my kids, so you will have to pretend to be 80.

Not sure why the OP mentioned possible action by FJ? They’re not even touching this ticket?

Apart from operating the NAN legs, sold as a codeshare but operated by Fiji, CX don’t sell QF operated flights as they don’t have the rights to.

That makes sense… although the OP says the NAN-SYD-NAN are operated by Qantas

I can see the fare on Skyscanner for random dates but can’t look deeply at the moment on the CX website - I’m out and about, but is the return “stopover” free?

If you can get two free or cheap stopovers in SYD, then that’s a cracker - if you don’t mind going to Fiji twice.

Nest it with a seperate SYD-NAN return (points or pay).

Yes it’s a cracker

The masterclass on 6 Sept was given a briefing on this

Aside this one ticket idea, it was noted a Travel agent might be able to add 2 extra holiday trips for very little extra

The other benefit was once the first flight is flown, the price is Locked in !

That’s what I’m seeing.

Edit: although there might FJ options I didn’t see in my nano-second search.

I think the long layover at end makes this a safe bet. You booked via CX website?

Very difficult to book via CX. For maximum utilization of the fare, one really needs to book using a competent travel agent.

Your luggage will be through checked to NAN

The OPs original post mentions there will be months between the 2nd last flight HKG-SYD and the last flight SYD-NAN. Yes the bags would connect if the time between flights was 24 hours or less but in this case Sydney airport won't be holding the bags for a couple of months to load onto a flight to Nadi.

Curious as to what you mean. Isn't it locked in once you pay for the ticket? Just bought this ticket for 2p, but to another US city instead.

changes made to the ticket before departure will usually trigger a reprice to the current fare in the day you make the change.

Ahh, but changes after your first flight is supposed to be the same price? Mine has higher fees for making changes after the first flight.

No it’s actually not
Something I didn’t know

Until you fly the first sector, it can be reprice.d if you make changes

Yes thanks. I did know that but didn't realise that it's the same price if you fly the first sector, as thought most fares have steep penalties for changes after the first sector. Thanks again.
