This flight is for the carrier’s Economy Sale fare, which offers most of the same benefits as the airline’s Economy and Economy Flexi fares; it allows passengers one full-size carry-on bag and a checked bag. This ticket and Economy fare types are nonrefundable, but ticket changes are permitted up to 24 hours prior to departure for a $100 fee, plus any change in the new fare price.

Honolulu-based fliers could also get a Fiji Airways deal for the same week for $598. Both of these flights are for the Economy Sale fare type, so the same fare rules apply.
