Fiji’s international airline service provider Fiji Airways has amended its international check-in times to take into account documentation checks now required in this COVID-travel time.

The amendment encourages travellers to check-in early and ensure compliance to the numerous documentation checks now required by most countries.

From December 22, 2021, Fiji Airways international check-in counters will open four hours prior to departure, and close two hours prior to departure.

“The new check-in times are designed to minimise delays and allow ample time for the increased documentation checks now in place,” the airline stated.

“Customers and travel agents are requested to take note of the two-hpur prior check-in close out time and plan travel to the airport carefully.

“Travellers not checked-in on time will be denied boarding and rebooked on to the next available flight.”

According to the airline, it has a travel ready hub on its website to assist travellers plan and prepare for every step of their journey.
