Flights to Fiji

Highlights of Fiji

Fiji is definitely your typical island paradise, with everything that you would come to expect from an archipelago that encompasses right around 300 islands. The tepid waters of the Yasawa Group of islands offer up swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, surfing or simply playing or relaxing in or near the water. The Mamanucas Group features partying and cruising in lively resorts, or secluded hideaways for lovers. Travel to Kadavu to remote villages where you can dive or snorkel along the vibrant Astrolobe Reef. The Yanuca and Bega Islands are a surfer's paradise where you can 'ride it rough' at the world-class Frigates Passage. Regardless your destination, Fiji's natives will shout out a hearty 'Bula!' Loosely translated, that means 'cheers' or 'welcome' but all summed up, it is merely Fiji--style, splendor, restorative charm, repose, white sands and a vacation like no other!

Getting to Fiji

There are two major international airports in Fiji. The Nadi International Airport is situated close to Denarau Island and accommodates close to 96% of all air travel to the Republic of Fiji. Located on the west side of the main island of Viti Levu this air terminal offers a number of services to travelers, such as duty-free shopping, massage parlors and fine dining. The Nausori International Airport is the second major airport terminal and is located on the eastern side of Fiji's main island. With only a short distance to Fiji's capital city of Suva, this air terminal operates both international and domestic flights and offers similar amenities to Nadi International.

Airports

There are 14 regional airports that also offer service on commercial airlines and another 12 that service the island's domestic routes. You can fly within easy commuting distance of just about any location that you choose.

Airlines

Air Fiji is the main domestic carrier operating within the islands, though many of the international carriers also offer domestic hops among various destinations. Flights are cheap, but Fiji is one of the easiest archipelagos to navigate by boat, hitching, bus or tram, by car and motorcycle, or bicycles, so explore your options.

More Money-Saving Tips

Tours are definitely your best option for significant savings. Many tour agencies are available which specialize in Fiji vacations. You might want to read some travel blogs and even ask questions of posters to find what agencies people have been happiest with. Then, be specific when letting the tour agency know what you want. Decide in advance how important a 5-star hotel might be in comparison to a 3-star. Let the agency know the ages of the parties that will be traveling and if there are any physical limitations. Any information that you can give to an agency will work to your benefit. There are also very specific health regulations in place when traveling to Fiji. You will want to check with your travel agent or local customs office for any questions or concerns you may have about current vaccination requirements before traveling. There are also strict regulations in place regarding plant life and animals. Typically, the Republic of Fiji will quarantine any foreign animal or plant life including seeds or related matter to avoid the introduction of disease into the country unless there is a valid permit presented. Plan ahead for a worry and stress-free vacation experience.

In Closing

Fiji is the place to let your cares go! Unless you plan on being separated from your traveling party, leave your cell phone at home or in the hotel and don't even think about logging on to your laptop! This is the 'take me away from it all' vacation and you should have no distractions, nor any possible way for the boss to reach out to you.
