Northern Air

Maximum weight: 7 kg

The context in a few words

Northern Air is one of those carriers from Fidji that locals know well. The network is contained, the fleet modest, but the carry-on policy stays close to industry references.

for 7 kg: well within norm. No upside surprise, but no nasty ones either, provided your declared bag matches what passes under the gauge.

On the ground, posted rules and counter practice don't always align. Northern Air keeps the dimensions ambiguous and 7 kg as the upper bound, and gate agents typically allow 1–2 cm of leeway before routing to hold. Don't bank on it — tolerance evaporates the moment the flight fills up.

On this kind of carrier, aircraft can be smaller — turboprops or regional jets. Overhead bins follow suit: a slightly oversized bag may be redirected to the hold at the foot of the stairs, free of charge but with a delay on arrival.

On personal item: Northern Air doesn't always formalize a separate allowance from cabin baggage. At boarding, a small handbag is generally tolerated, but bulky items are best packed in the main suitcase. A visible laptop sleeve may be flagged as a duplicate if the agent is strict.
