Fiji Airways Baggage Allowance: Fares, Carry-On, Sports Gear and Island Transfers

Your baggage allowance depends on the fare brand and cabin, and it's shown on your e-ticket. The cheapest Economy fare, Lite, includes a carry-on bag but no checked bag.

Many Fiji holidays also include a boat, seaplane or small domestic flight, and those can have tighter limits than the international flight.

This independent guide is not the airline's baggage service. For fares, cabins and stopovers, see the Fiji Airways flights guide.

Allowances can vary by route and change over time, and frequent-flyer status can add to them. The allowance printed on your e-ticket is the one that applies.

Lite works for a short trip if you can genuinely pack within the cabin allowance. For a Fiji holiday with several outfits, toiletries or sports gear, compare the fare plus baggage against a ticket that includes it, in both directions, for everyone travelling.

Fiji Airways lists a 7kg carry-on allowance in Economy, with a higher allowance in Business. Check the dimensions and personal-item rules for your ticket too.

Tell us about sports equipment before booking. We check its packed weight and dimensions, whether it counts within your allowance, and any handling charges on every flight and transfer.

• A surfboard accepted on the international jet may not fit the small aircraft taking you to your resort.
• For dive gear, flag cylinders, dive lights and batteries so the specific carriage requirements can be checked.
• Use suitable protective packaging.
• Compare bringing everything with hiring equipment locally.
• Paying an extra-bag fee doesn't guarantee an oversized item can travel.

A domestic plane, seaplane or resort boat can have different weight, size and handling limits from your international flight. Check each operator before payment, including whether excess luggage can travel with you.

An international allowance may apply to eligible Fiji Link domestic flights issued on the same international ticket, but that doesn't automatically extend to a separate domestic ticket, charter or seaplane.

Pack to the tightest allowance where practical. If you need to leave a larger suitcase on the mainland, arrange storage and collection in advance. Keep medication, documents and a change of clothes accessible.

When does a fare without a checked bag make sense?

They work for a short trip if you can genuinely pack within the cabin allowance. For a Fiji holiday with several outfits, toiletries or sports gear, we compare the fare plus baggage against a ticket that includes it, both ways, for everyone travelling. A cheaper ticket becomes a false saving when the luggage you need makes it more expensive overall. Check island-transfer allowances separately too.

Does Fiji Airways weigh carry-on bags?

We'd pack as though your carry-on will be weighed. We can't reliably say how often checks happen, and we wouldn't promise they'll overlook an overweight bag.

Weigh it fully packed and check dimensions, including wheels and handles. Confirm the personal-item rules too; don't assume a laptop bag gives you extra weight. Sort out excess baggage before departure rather than risk repacking at the gate.

Can I bring a surfboard, golf clubs or dive gear?

Tell us about the equipment before we book. We check its packed weight and dimensions, whether it counts within your allowance, and any handling charges on every flight and transfer. A surfboard accepted on the international jet may not fit the small aircraft taking you to your resort.

For dive gear, flag cylinders, dive lights and batteries so we can check the specific carriage requirements. Use suitable protective packaging, and compare bringing everything with hiring equipment locally. Don't assume paying an extra-bag fee guarantees an oversized item can travel.

What's the most common baggage mistake on Fiji trips?

Packing for the international flight without checking the final island transfer. A domestic plane, seaplane or resort boat can have different weight, size and handling limits. We check each operator before payment, including whether excess luggage can travel with you.

Pack to the tightest allowance where practical. If you need to leave a larger suitcase on the mainland, arrange storage and collection in advance. Keep medication, documents and a change of clothes accessible.
