Impressive three (3) class aircraft

[Clivem]

Off to Fiji this Friday ...... as part of the trip mid next week I'm flying from Nadi to Nausori Airport on an ATR.
The next leg of the journey is the one I'm impressed by
Nausori Airport to Bureta airstrip on Ovalau Island for business and back the following day

I just received a picture of the 'Northern Air' aircrafts three (3) class cabin , -

Row 1 = 'F'
Row 2 = 'J'
Row 3 = 'Y'


I'm wondering if anybody is missing the bench seat out of their early 1970's Holden ute ??

No window in F? I'd be asking for a refund :mrgreen:

Hard to say from photo, BUT F window might be forward facing ?

 

[robd]

Is there a separate door for each row, or does Y & J just clamber over to get to their seat?

 

[Clivem]

Their other 'MAIN' fleet aircraft doesn't look any better .........



This one may be 'trip report' worthy ....... does anyone have a spare Saint Christopher medallion I can borrow ?

But you have to look past the captain... :shock:

It's actually four class since the photo was taken from row 4 (or row 1). Enjoy, not too many BN Islanders around these days locally.

Gee F / J / PE and Y .... outstanding.

Just not sure how to take the ' not to many BN Islanders around still ' comment but .........

Should be a hoot !

Is there priority boarding for the flight?

 

[rogerkambah]

Is there priority boarding for the flight?

Y would have to board first, followed by PE, J, F!

 

[Gredgy69]

Just wondering how the flight attendant gets the trolley to economy??

More time in the F lounge I hear you say?

Is that cabin one or two persons wide?

Two, islanders are a ten seater.

 

[Clivem]

Northern Air Islander Fleet - Base Nausori Airport about 20~30 min north of downtown Suva
Two BN Islanders DQ SSS or DQ JJS
Seat : 8 PAX
Speed : 125kt
Weight : 2994kg – 6600lbs
They weigh PAX and bags .....love it ! .......... Flying with a couple of pretty beefy Fijians so that might not be a good thing !

I will be sure to knock out a trip report on this one being sure to cover off on the vitals ....... Recognition at check-in / Priority boarding / Wine selection / Did they get the salmon just right / Were priority tagged bags first at the 'carousel' ? yada yada

Strangely they don't appear to be part of either the Star or One World ...........Maybe their going the VA 'partnership route'

Really looking forward to your trip report Clivem, my dad is originally from Levuka and I have never been there. Just reading the posts in the lead up to your journey has almost inspired me to go. Am sure the trip report will get that inspiration over the line and turn it into a reality.

Aren't there F seats on the QF A380s that don't have windows?

 

[TomVexille]

Aren't there F seats on the QF A380s that don't have windows?

And most other A380s... but that ruins the joke

I was thinking more just demand a refund from <insert preferred A380 carrier> when you don't get a window in F......

Service is done like they do at the baseball. Your inflight snack just gets tossed to you.
