Join Fiji Airways Tabua Club for dining, cruise and other discounts in Fiji
It has been nearly a year since Fiji Airways started flying from Vancouver and while most points & miles enthusiasts are using Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan to earn and redeem points for these flights it is still a good idea to join Fiji Airway’s own program called Tabua Club. If you are travelling to Fiji (even if it is not on Fiji Airways) you can enjoy dining and cruise discounts in Fiji simply by being a member of Tabua Club. Here are examples of some the discounts you’ll receive by showing your Tabua Club membership card:
- 10% discount on food and beverage at any one of the Jacks of Fiji restaurants
- 10% discount when dining at Tanoa International Nadi and Tanoa Plaza Suva
- Captain Cook Cruises – 10% Discount on the Sunset Dinner Cruise
