Asked for water before dinner was served, didn’t get it. Dinner served but no drinks was asked or served with dinner. When asked if I wanted my seat made for bedtime, asked for water again. This time I got it. Filled the breakfast form but was still asked what I wanted. Comparing this experience with Fiji air flight from LA to Melbourne. Worse was missing my flight connection to Baltimore since Fiji air opted to wait for a passenger that couldn’t pass security. Instead of leaving at 9:40 pm, we left at 11. So spent overnight at a hotel for next day’s flight. Another expense!

What is good to know if travelling to Tonga?- Tipping is not expected in Tonga, although Tongans will not be offended if visitors wish to reward good service.
- Tonga is a very traditional society – Sunday is the day of rest, after all – and it’s best to keep covered up. Knees should be covered and men should only go shirtless on the beach.
- Located just west of the International Dateline, Tonga is the first Pacific nation to see the sun each day.
- There are some important archaeological sites on Nuku’alofa such as the Ha’amonga ‘a Maui, a megalithic monument, and the langi, royal burial tombs.
- Ota ika is a seafood speciality. It’s raw fish marinated in lemon and coconut cream. Lu pulu is another popular dish. It’s corned beef and coconut milk in taro leaves cooked in an underground oven.
- Eua Island, 40km off Tongatapu’s south coast, is a great place to go hiking. It has the largest tracts of virgin rainforest in Tonga.
- The best beaches are to be found on the Ha’apai Islands, but there’s much more to do here than just top up your tan. There are scuba diving, snorkelling or, between July and November, watching the Humpback Whales.
- Vava’u, composed of 72 islands (just 20 inhabited), is a popular place for yachties to moor. It’s sea-sports paradise with scuba diving, game fishing, sea kayaking and whale-watching (July to October) on offer.
- Most northern, the Niuas – Niuatoputapu and Niuafo’ou – are isolated volcanic islands, where the traditional customs and culture thrive.
