Fiji flight sale: Cathay Pacific from London to Nadi via Hong Kong for from £689
January 31st, 2010
Book one-stop flights from London Heathrow to Nadi, Fiji on new Cathay Pacific/ Air Pacific codeshare route. Flights cost from £689, travelling via Hong Kong.
Travelling to the South Pacific from the UK
Of all the parts of the world to get to from the UK, the South Pacific is usually the most expensive. This is mainly because the low populations of the Pacific islands can’t support many flights, and partly because it’s about as far away from the UK as you can get.
Direct flights to the South Pacific?
Because of the distance (all flights take 22 hours or more), there are no direct flights from the UK to the South Pacific, and there are very few one stop flights. Most of these are via Los Angeles with Air New Zealand.
Cathay Pacific codeshare agreement with Air Pacific
However, Hong Kong-based airline Cathay Pacific has just started an intriguing new codeshare arrangement with Fijian airline Air Pacific. This codeshare means that passengers can book a one-stop flight from London Heathrow to Nadi, Fiji going the Asian route .
Quickest way to get from UK to Fiji
The flights go via Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong to Fiji leg is with Air Pacific. This represents the quickest way to get from the UK to Fiji – and it’s currently the cheapest as well. Cathay Pacific is selling flights from London to Fiji for a frankly unbelievable £689.
Cathay Pacific Fiji flight sale: Terms and conditions
