If you missed the Korean Air/Delta deals a few days ago, you may want to consider this deal. If booked under Expedia, you can possibly travel from Singapore to Nadi on Fiji Airways’ Business Class and continue your journey to Los Angeles on Economy Class from SGD980 / USD722 R/T. This deal comes on top of 28,752 Alaska Miles too – by now you should know just how lucrative Alaska Miles is.
Details of This Deal
If you search the flights and play around with the dates under google flights, you will see the following:
When you further proceed to book the tickets, Expedia will show you exactly the same cabin class while Fiji Airways will show you Economy Class for both sectors.
While the layover may be long, Fiji has a lot to offer! You can use this opportunity to do a short holiday in Fiji – a trial trip before you make a decision to do a long holiday in Fiji next time.
Things to Note
- Travel period: Scattered across July 2019 to May 2020 at the point of writing.
- Booking Code: I (Singapore – Nadi), R (Nadi – Los Angeles). Booking must be made under Expedia to get this deal.
- Words of advice: It is at the airline’s discretion as to whether to honour this fare. I would advise against making any non-refundable plans right away. Nevertheless, some users on FlyerTalk have claimed that they were able to book the ticket through Expedia and make a seat selection in both the Business Class and the Economy Class.
What is The Business Class Product Like?
The operating aircraft types are dependent on the route that you have chosen. The Singapore sector is likely to be the Airbus A330 while the Los Angeles sector could be the A330 or the A350.
Where Should I Credit This Ticket?
Check out where to credit. These tickets should book into fare code I for Singapore sector and R for Los Angeles sector.
Hi,
I am taking the flight to LA next week, and would also like to find out more about the flight review.
Appreciate if anyone has any.
Thanks! : )
Hi Alvin,
the closest info I can get is from here

Enjoy
Anyone flew on this? any trip review? 😀
Hi Danny,
some recent pictures from both legs can be found here
https://verdienter-urlaub.de/flug/fiji-airways-erfahrungen/
SIN-NAN is currently operated by the FJ A330. Even it has the rather dated 2-2-2 angled-flat seats, it was quite comfortable. Since Jan 2020 the NAN-LAX leg is operated by the brand new A350-900 XWB which is even in Y OK.
In C and even Y the FJ crew couldn’t have been friendlier.
Nice surprise was the lounge in Nadi, big fail is this oneworld connect scam with more exceptions than benefits – irritating and frustrating.
How the business class seat looks like? anyone can share?
thanks
Hi Dong,
Actually I am not too sure as well. I will try to reach out to Andy to see if he knows. He is the reader who pointed out that the Business Class is an ex Air Seychelles Product. In the meantime, you may want to refer to see:

Seems to only work when doing same day turn in LAX. I do need to find a way home from SIN in January so look like this should work for me. Just won’t show up for the return. Though I’m not sure I’m ready to lock myself into the itinerary this far in advance. Last time I did that better mistakes came up.
Thanks for sharing this deal, managed to book for December 2019.
Just FYI, based on the aircraft tail numbers and seatmaps on Fiji Airways, the SIN-NAN sectors are operated by ex-Air Seychelles A330s (DQ-FJO and DQ-FJP).
These 2 planes still have the Air Seychelles hard product, configured as JC18Y233 with only 3 rows of Business class in 2-2-2 for total of 18 seats.
The Air Seychelles hard product looks quite dated compared to Fiji business class.
Hi Andy, Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi, I searched the fares on google flights and the results showed a mixed cabin flight as stated in the post.
However the same search on expedia with the same dates returned booking code R for all flight sectors.
Does that mean the fares are gone?
Hi Alvin,
Most probably. Give it one last shot by playing around with the dates.
