On November 1st, Fiji Airways enhanced connectivity for its Economy passengers, offering free full-flight messaging Wi-Fi. Previously, Economy customers were limited to 15 minutes of messaging Wi-Fi.

Flights can last hour after hour, and it’s nice to keep in touch with friends and family, firm up plans for arrival, or say goodbyes after a fun trip. That isn’t always possible for Economy passengers, who must pay for Wi-Fi, with many opting out of the cost. Now, Fiji Airways’ complimentary messaging Wi-Fi lets everyone stay connected throughout the flight.

Business class passengers will continue to experience free full-flight browsing Wi-Fi. The airline will also make browsing and streaming more economical for others, with value-focused plans beginning at $7.95. 

The new service follows Fiji Airways’ excellent performance in the recent APEX Official Airline Ratings. The carrier received the Five Star Major Airline Award for the third year in a row. It also was awarded for Best Entertainment in the APEX Passenger Choice Awards 2024. The accolades highlight the airline’s commitment to providing Fijian hospitality in the skies over the South Pacific and beyond.

A spokesperson for Fiji Airways commented: “At Fiji Airways, we believe that the journey should be as enjoyable as the destination itself. This initiative reflects our commitment to listening to our passengers and turning their feedback into innovative solutions that enhance the travel experience from start to finish.”

Airplane landings are a hectic time, when the pilot focuses on a smooth touchdown, and passengers must remain fastened in their seatbelts. Even after the wheels meet the tarmac, the seatbelt sign can stay illuminated, ensuring everyone’s safety before arriving at the gate.

Even then, some travelers still unbuckle and stand up before the seatbelt sign is off, inconveniencing the crew who must repeat their safety announcements. To address the issue, commercial airlines landing in Türkiye must document and report rule breakers to the Turkish Directorate of Civil Aviation, which may issue a fine up to $70.
