With the Fijian Government’s announcement that the nation will reopen for tourism, Virgin Australia will resume flights from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to Nadi from December 16th through December 18, 2021.
On Monday (October 11, 2021), Virgin Australia announced that following the reopening of Fiji to tourists, the carrier will advance the resumption of their international schedule from December 23rd to December 16, 2021. Virgin Australia will offer up to double-daily return flights from Sydney to Nadi from December 16th, and up to daily return service between Melbourne and Nadi starting December 17th. Flights between Brisbane and Nadi will be on offer up to three times weekly starting December 18, 2021. Celebrating the relaunch of service to Fiji, Virgin Australia is offering one-way fares from AUD $289, inclusive. The carrier also plans on resuming flights to Bali and New Zealand in 2022.
In today’s announcement, Virgin Australia Group’s spokesperson said,
“We’re pleased to bring forward the resumption of our Fiji services to better align with the start of the summer holiday period, making it easier for travellers to get to their destination in advance of the festive season. We know Australians are excited to finally be able to travel overseas again which is evident by the strong booking demand we’ve experienced for our Fiji flights since the Federal Government announced the roadmap to re-opening Australia to the world earlier this month.
“Our inaugural short-haul international service to Nadi will depart Sydney on 16 December 2021 and will be a significant milestone for the relaunched Virgin Australia and New South Wales residents who have spent many of the past few months in lockdown. Initially, we’ll operate daily return services to Nadi from Melbourne and Sydney and three weekly return services from Brisbane. We’ll increase our Sydney-Nadi services to double-daily from 23 December 2021 to give travellers even more opportunity to experience a tropical holiday for the festive season and summer holidays.
“Virgin Australia Fiji services are on sale now at virginaustralia.com, with fares starting from $289 one-way inclusive of taxes, Velocity Frequent Flyer Points and up to double Status Credits. And like all Virgin Australia fares, our international flights include full flexibility for travel to 28 February 2022, so our customers can book with confidence knowing they can change the date of travel if they need to.”
The introductory AUD $289 fare is based on a one-way Economy Lite ticket from Sydney to Nadi booked on the airline’s website. Virgin Australia’s new Fiji flights will be the first international flights operated by the new relaunched airline. All flights can be purchased using Future Flight Credits and travel credits. For added peace of mind, the carrier offers booking flexibility to change or cancel travel to travel credit without fees through February 28, 2022. Changes must be made prior to travel dates and a fare difference may apply.
