Anyone going to NAN should post a picture in official Fiji attire.

Never seen you get so excited when someone posts they're going to EDI. :)

I guess I've seen too much Israeli twitterspace recently. You should see some of the posts/memes. It's so recent and then you get an Air Fiji deal.

And when last did you have the Duke of Edinburgh visit Israel wearing a kilt (along with his security detail).

How did you do that?  AS doesn't let me route that way. They only let AKL-NAN-LAX but not CHC



It wont even let me choose calendar with that routing.

Also AS upon booking states that "A $12.50 USD nonrefundable fee per person, each way, will be collected for awards booked on a partner airline."

Nice! How long stopover in NAN?

Back before COVID, I had JFK-LAX-NAN-stop-WLG ticketed for just 40K AS, as AS had a sale on Fiji awards. Unfortunately had to be cancelled due to COVID.

JFK-CAI in MS J 77W
Stopover for 23h 05m in Cairo, Egypt
CAI-TLV in MS Y BCS3

70,000 AC Miles = 4.59 CPM.

Too bad they don't fly their 787 from JFK. They fly it from IAD, but those schedules did not work.

Good for you! What time of year?  These have become almost unicorns. Did you see any other available dates?
