Fiji Airways' short Boeing

Sunday afternoon I took these photos of Fiji Airways' Boeing 737-7X2, DQ-FJF, departing Wellington. This angle really shows off the short fuselage of the -700 series aircraft, especially compared to the -800 series machines that Jetconnect and Virgin Australia fly into Wellington.

According to the Seat Guru website, Fiji Airways has only configured this aircraft with 118 seats [including 8 business class recliner seats] which would likely make it one of the lowest seat-count aircraft conducting regular international passenger flight to/ from New Zealand. By comparison, Fiji Airways -800 aircraft are configured with up to 170 seats.
