Quick summary
Fiji Airways’ 75th-anniversary sale ran 1-8 September 2026 for travel between 6 October 2026 and 15 August 2027, discounting Australia fares to Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Japan, the United States and Canada; Majuro was not listed. The saving the old version of this page claimed against Nauru Airlines cannot be reproduced from an airline, airport or government source.
The Nadi-Majuro leg is where the unknowns sit: its operating days and whether it can be ticketed as an Australia-to-Majuro through-fare are published only by the airline. Everything below reflects what sources said as of 8 October 2026.
Fiji Airways ran its 75th-anniversary network sale from 1 to 8 September 2026. The destinations discounted from Australia were Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Japan, the United States and Canada, with no Marshall Islands entry, as The Hill India reported on 1 September 2026. The previous version of this page promised travelers in Australia and New Zealand a saving for reaching Majuro through Nadi instead of flying Nauru Airlines. That comparison cannot be rebuilt from any airline, airport or government publication today.
That changes the task for anyone planning the trip. Cost is no longer something you can line up in a table here; it is something you establish leg by leg. Two facts govern an Australia-to-Majuro itinerary: which days the Nadi-Majuro leg operates, and whether it is sold as one through-fare. Both answers come from the airline, not from a comparison.
The information here holds as of 8 October 2026.
What is actually scheduled from Australia to Nadi?
Australia to Nadi is the easy half of the journey. Direct Sydney-Nadi flights take about four hours and direct Melbourne-Nadi flights about four hours fifty, on route data published in May 2026. Fiji Airways alone operates up to three daily flights on the Melbourne route.
Across carriers, the Australia-Nadi market averages about 21 direct departures a week, or roughly three a day across the whole market. That is capacity rather than scarcity. For a Majuro-bound traveler, the Australian departure rarely limits the itinerary: several daily departures leave room for a connection in Nadi.
The constraint comes after Nadi.
Which gateway you choose changes little in the air. Sydney is marginally quicker, Melbourne has the deepest single-airline frequency, and both feed the same hub. The difference in flight time is roughly fifty minutes you get back on the ground.

What entry and timing rules matter for a Fiji stopover?
Australian passport holders do not need a visa for stays in Fiji of up to four months, the rule in force when the route data used here was published in May 2026. The allowance makes a Nadi stopover a scheduling decision rather than a paperwork one. A single night on the way to Majuro and a two-week break both fit inside it, with no transit visa to arrange.
The calendar is the other half of the decision. Fiji’s dry season runs from May to September, when rainfall is lower and the trade winds hold; the wetter stretch from November lines up with the South Pacific cyclone season. The drier half of the year is also when Fiji-bound seats move fastest.
A stopover built into a long-haul multi-city fare is a different purchase from two separate tickets.
Which Fiji Airways baggage allowance applies to your fare?
Baggage is the one part of a Fiji Airways booking you can compare in full today. On economy fares, Lite includes no checked bag and limits carry-on to 7 kg; Value includes 30 kg of checked baggage. Comfort and Comfort Plus include two 30 kg checked bags.
The cabin ceiling, not the checked allowance, decides whether Lite works. Anyone traveling with dive gear, camera housings or more than a week of clothing is outside a Lite fare before reaching the airport. The gap between the families is 23 kg of checked allowance, which is the point of paying up. Carrying that cabin limit through a four-hour Melbourne-Nadi flight and an onward Pacific leg, with no option to check the bag if the cabin fills, is a constraint that only appears at the gate.
The allowance also travels with you. Because the Australia-Nadi and Nadi-Majuro segments sit inside one airline’s network, the fare family you buy governs the whole journey. Mix carriers on this route and each ticket carries its own limit.
What network change should US-bound travelers watch?
Fiji Airways suspended its Nadi-Dallas service from 7 September 2026 and continues its United States flying through Los Angeles and San Francisco, according to a report published on 1 September 2026. The Pacific island legs are untouched by the change. What changes is the long-haul reach of the Nadi hub.
For an Australian or New Zealand traveler treating Nadi as a way into the United States, that leaves a west-coast gateway only. A US destination in the middle of the country now needs its own domestic connection rather than a single long-haul arrival.
The suspension took effect a day before the anniversary sale’s booking window closed on 8 September 2026. Both September changes to the airline’s network advertising landed within 24 hours of each other, a timing issue for anyone still working from an older itinerary.
When the schedule decides more than the price
Confirm the Nadi-Majuro operating days and the through-fare with Fiji Airways before any money changes hands. Travelers on New Zealand passports should confirm their own conditions with Fiji’s immigration authority, because the sources used here cover the Australian rule only.
Checked-baggage travelers. If your gear weighs more than the cabin limit, the fare family settles whether the trip works before the schedule does, so read the allowance before anything else. Travelers weighing a low-cost Nadi option should compare what each Fiji Airways bundle includes next to a low-cost Nadi fare, not the headline number. The airline’s Australia fare pages do not give a business class figure, so that has to be confirmed separately. Less suited: carry-on-only travelers, who would buy allowance they never use.
Stopover builders. Decide whether the stop is a night or a fortnight before you search. If it is part of the plan rather than a night in transit, see how Fiji Airways handles a Nadi stopover on long-haul multi-city fares before weighing that against holding two separate tickets. Less suited: travelers connecting straight through Nadi, who gain nothing from the stopover rules.
Travelers continuing to the United States. Build the onward US leg separately in your planning. Less suited: travelers whose US destination sat on the old Dallas routing, who now need a domestic connection of their own.
The next date to watch is the airline’s promotional calendar, whose last sale covered travel to 15 August 2027.

Questions? Answers.
Can Australia to Majuro be booked as a single Fiji Airways ticket?
Fiji Airways did not list the Marshall Islands among its Australia destinations in its September 2026 anniversary sale, and no current source publishes an Australia-to-Majuro through-fare. Whether your dates can be ticketed as one journey or only as separate Fiji and island legs has to be confirmed with the airline at the point of booking, since that answer decides how the trip is protected.
Do I need a visa for a Fiji stopover on the way to Majuro?
Australian passport holders do not need a visa for stays of up to four months, the rule standing when the route data used here was published in May 2026. That is long enough that a stop is limited by your leave rather than by immigration. New Zealand passport holders should confirm their conditions with Fiji’s immigration authority, since that rule is the one the sources cover.
How much checked baggage comes with a Fiji Airways economy fare?
Lite includes no checked bag and caps cabin baggage at 7 kg, Value includes 30 kg, and Comfort and Comfort Plus include two 30 kg bags. The published tables do not carry a business class figure, so that allowance has to be checked separately before a gear-heavy trip is booked.
Is Fiji Airways still flying between Nadi and Dallas?
No. The service was suspended from 7 September 2026, and Fiji Airways continues its US flying via Los Angeles and San Francisco. A Nadi stopover on the way to the United States now arrives on the west coast only.
Is the September 2026 Fiji Airways sale still available?
The anniversary sale ran from 1 to 8 September 2026 for travel between 6 October 2026 and 15 August 2027, and the booking deadline has passed. Fares purchased now are outside that promotion, so its travel window is the period the airline’s own pricing was built around rather than a discount you can still claim.
