April’s weather forecast for the region is starting off with rain, and the rest of the month isn’t looking so hot either. That’s why news of Fiji Airways increasing its services in Vancouver has got travellers ready to pack their bags.
The national airline of Fiji announced that Vancouver services will increase to three flights per week starting on June 16 and lasting year-round, with additional flights being added during peak travel periods.
Fiji Airways also revealed that it was expanding its codeshare partnership with British Airways to include the Nadi–Vancouver route, giving passengers more ways to get to the South Pacific country’s main transportation hub.
