Jasmin’s Fijian Holidays flying Fiji Airways
Watching the clock tick down before Fijian holiday s begin is very exciting. You’re already dreaming of that big BULA welcome, the cocktails you’ll have around the pool, the shining Fijian sun and all the adventures to come!
Jasmin’s Fiji Airways Experience
One of Spacifica Travel’s own, Jasmin, and her partner recently visited Fiji on their own Fijian holidays. While she has many Fijian tales to tell, all holidays start with getting there! Their chosen Fiji holiday packages included flights with Fiji Airways, which travels direct from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne daily, and Adelaide twice a week. Discover Jasmin’s Fiji Airways journey below.
Bula! Brisbane International Airport
There is something special about the moment you open the boot of your Uber and drag your luggage out… The wheels of my luggage “Calvin” hit the pavement of the international drop off area and it stirs the butterflies in my stomach. Like a smack in the face, I am in holiday mode. I start swagger walking through to the terminal as if I have nowhere else to be. Wearing an outfit that shows everyone I am being comfy/sensible for my flight ahead but stylish enough to say “where is the bar”. The line-up of people at the Fiji Airways desk is filled with smiles. Some desperately needing that first holiday out of Australia and others going to see family after such a long time. “BULA!” calls the super friendly check-in person. I wave my bag off and then go through the security check area. Not sure if it was my stupid grin or my inability to walk through the body scanner without dancing but I was tagged for a swab check. The friendly lady was quick to send me on my way and before I knew it, I was in the duty-free area. I’m not sure about everyone else but when I enter the duty-free area, I am rushed with endless ideas of all the things I want. Then those wants are slowly convinced to be needs and I walk away with perfume, alcohol, and a cigar (I don’t even smoke!). But my receipt says I saved so much, which means I made money right?
At this point my travel buddy/partner and I are starving so we head to the only place that offers a view of our transport to our destination, The Windmill & Co Bar and Bistro. With no hesitation we are eating eggs benny with a mimosa. After getting my hit of vitamin c from my beverage, we head to Gate 86. We heard like sheep on to the aerobridge that will take us to our aircraft.
