Updated on July 18, 2025 | Tim Haig
July 18, 2025 — Fiji Airways started flying to Dallas-Fort Worth on December 10, 2024, ramping up its mainland US service as it adopts AAdvantage as its frequent flyer program and becomes a full-fledged member of oneworld.
This 13-hour nonstop flight saves DFW passengers at least 4 hours of travel time versus connecting in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
The service to Nadi solidifies DFW’s position as a major Oceana hub, with nonstops to Honolulu (American), Auckland (American), Sydney (Qantas), Melbourne (Qantas), and seasonal service to Brisbane (American).
