When is the cheapest time to fly to Fiji

If you don’t mind the odd tropical shower, flying out between November and April tends to save you a fair bit. That’s the wet season, but honestly, there’s still heaps of sunshine tucked in between the rain clouds. Prices usually spike up when Aussie school holidays roll around (think December, January, July and September) so, if you're eyeing a bargain, steer clear of those busy patches.

How early to arrive at the airport

Since it's an international flight, try to arrive at least 2 to 3 hours before your flight, just to keep things smooth and stress-free.
