Nadi is served by Nadi International Airport (NAN), the main international gateway to Fiji and the larger of the country's two international airports. It handles the vast majority of Fiji's international tourist traffic arriving in NAN, offering connections into Nadi from across the Pacific, Australasia, Asia, and North America, alongside domestic flights to NAN from other Fijian islands.
The most frequent and affordable flights to Nadi are from major hubs in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States into NAN. Key departure points to Nadi include Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL), Brisbane (BNE), Auckland (AKL), Los Angeles (LAX), and Hong Kong (HKG) to NAN. The airport also offers important connections to Nadi from other Pacific Island nations like Tonga, Samoa, and Vanuatu. Domestically, NAN receives flights from Suva (SUV), the capital, and numerous smaller island airports to Nadi.
The market into Nadi is competitive on major routes. Fiji Airways, the national carrier, uses NAN as its hub, operating a wide network from across the Pacific and from long-haul destinations into Nadi. Major airlines like Qantas, Air New Zealand, Virgin Australia, and Korean Air compete on routes from their respective hubs to NAN. Domestic service into Nadi is provided by Fiji Airways' subsidiary and other small regional airlines.
To secure cheap flights to Nadi, book international arrivals from Australia, New Zealand, or North America into NAN 3-6 months in advance, especially for peak seasons (June-August, December-January) to Nadi. Use Fiji Airways' hub status at NAN to find competitive fares from other Pacific Islands to Nadi. For domestic arrivals into Nadi from other Fijian islands, book inter-island flights to NAN several weeks ahead as capacity is limited. Flying into NAN mid-week can offer savings on long-haul routes to Nadi. Nadi is the most convenient airport for accessing the main tourist areas of Fiji, but for arrivals heading to Suva, consider flying into Nausori Airport (SUV) near the capital if fares and schedules permit, then ground transport.
