Air New Zealand to Suspend Service between Los Angeles and Nadi, Fiji

January 23, 7:02 pm ET EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Air New
Zealand said today that it will suspend flights between Los Angeles
and Nadi, Fiji operated by the airline three times per week, effective
April 26, 2008.

Instead, Air New Zealand will expand its code-share agreement with Air
Pacific from four services per week to six services per week. All six
code-share services will connect from and to Air New Zealand’s London
services to ensure the flow of Northern Hemisphere tourism into Fiji.

Air New Zealand Group General Manager International Airline Ed Sims
said today the code-share agreement with Air Pacific announced last
year was working well.

Air New Zealand currently operates services on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, code-sharing the other days of the week. Its last Monday
service will be April 21st, the last Wednesday service will be April
23rd and the last Friday service will be April 25th. The expanded
code-share service will begin with Air Pacific operating a Wednesday
service from April 30th and a Monday service from June 2nd.

The new arrangement means that Air New Zealand code-share services
between Los Angeles and Nadi will operate every day except Fridays.

Air Pacific operates Boeing 747-400 aircraft on this route with a
capacity of 28 business class and 452 economy class seats.

Flight and vacation essentials can be booked on AirNewZealand . com or
by calling 1-800-262-1234 in the USA and 1-800-663-5494 in Canada. Air
New Zealand is a member of the Star Alliance network.

AW: Air New Zealand to Suspend Service between Los Angeles and Nadi, Fiji

There is not much difference between an Air New Zealand 747 and an Air
Pacific Jumbo. Air Pacific partly belongs to QANTAS and has no bad
reputation.

My only flight with Air Pacific was a long time ago (AKL-NAD), and I only
remember that the airline had stunning black beauties as flight attendants.

And, like Qantas, unlimited (subject to sobriety) free
drinks in coach. Good food too.

Used them BNE-NAD return in 2005.

Bula:-)

This is somewhat of a problem for many however many do 24 hr stopover
and take the next day's flight out or stay a couple of days before
continuing on.

On certain days, Air Pacific flies direct from NAN to Christchurch
thus avoiding the Auckland-Christchurch connection.
