Fiji Airways is amending its international check-in times to allow passengers time to comply with documentation checks required by most countries.

International flight check-in counters will open four (4) hours prior to departure and close two (2) hours prior to departure as of Wednesday 22nd December.

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

Customers and travel agents have been urged to take note of the two–hour prior check-in close out time, and plan travel to the airport accordingly.

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

Passengers have also been advised to familiarise themselves with entry and transit requirements of countries they are travelling to.
