- Separate tickets, self-transfer: if the economy flights are delayed or cancelled, the business ticket is not protected or rebooked for you.
- Bags: recheck and re-check-in at Nadi; allowances differ per ticket (economy ticket may exclude a cabin or checked bag).
- Business ticket is sold under a different airline name than the one flying it; booking and check-in may reference the ticketing airline.

These are separate tickets. If your first flight is late, the airline on the next ticket generally doesn't have to rebook you.
4 more checks are summarised above but not explained here. The full Hack Shield checklist, with bags, entry rules, waits and what to do if your first flight is late, is part of Pro.
Hack Shield is general information based on the flight times we hold. It is not a guarantee, travel advice or insurance, and Kaviqa does not check visa or entry rules for you.
