South Pacific flights using classic rewards

[Wanderlust_tim]

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there are any destinations in the South Pacific to or from Nadi/Suva that need to be called up to search for? A friend is getting married in early July which clashes with school holidays - so classic flight rewards are a bit sparse and paid fares are a bit extreme. I'm based in MEL, hoping to be in Fiji from 8-10 July but more than happy to take a convoluted route (excluding the USA) to and from if i can unlock something that is perhaps not accessible through a multi city search.

Grateful for any and all advice you can share.

Just buy a cash ticket on the outbound.

On the 6th of July MEL-NAN direct on JQ is $295, 7 July MEL-BNE-NAN on VA is $463 and on 8 July MEL-NAN on VA is $318. None of these are extreme prices really given the length of flights involved.

That being said who doesn't love a challenge.

MEL-BNE and BNE-NAN searched via multi city on the 7 July Qantas Website. Currently 23,000 Qantas points and $169.39 taxes oneway.


The much crazier MEL-SYD-BNE-APW-NAN is all available as a classic reward (oddly no MEL-BNE direct). Need to search multicity MEL-APW on 6 July and APW-NAN on 7 July. You get to hop around the major cities, a fun 737 red eye flight and a full day in Apia - much more fun!

The following will currently set you back 29,000 Qantas points and $308.11 for the oneway MEL-NAN

On the return, could buy a cash fare NAN-OOL, the 11th of July is $456 which is not bad then can get a classic reward from OOL-MEL (currently only JQ via SYD on those dates).
