Does Qantas Fly from Auckland to Fiji? The Route
Qantas flies from Auckland to Nadi through a codeshare with Fiji Airways, with a Qantas flight number (QF) on a Fiji Airways-operated aircraft (FJ). The direct Auckland to Nadi flight takes around 3 hours, crossing the Tasman Sea and the Pacific to the Fijian archipelago, and it is daily, with morning and afternoon departures from Auckland.

Qantas Auckland to Fiji Fares
Economy fares
A return Qantas Economy ticket from Auckland to Nadi starts at around NZ$350 to $600 in the cheapest 'Red e-Deal' fare bucket, rising to NZ$600 to $900 in the flexible 'Flex' Economy fare. The cheapest fares are usually 6 to 8 weeks ahead, outside the New Zealand and Fijian school holidays. The cheapest fare includes a carry-on only; the flexible fare includes a checked bag.
Business class fares
Business class on the Auckland to Nadi route costs from around NZ$900 to $1,500 return, with a recliner seat, a full meal and drinks service, a larger baggage allowance and Qantas Lounge access at Auckland before the flight. Business is the right choice for a special trip or a honeymoon, and the fare earns more Qantas Points and Status Credits than Economy.
Qantas Frequent Flyers earn Qantas Points and Status Credits on the Auckland to Nadi codeshare flight, with the earn rate depending on the fare bucket and your Frequent Flyer tier. A typical Economy 'Flex' fare earns around 20 to 30 Status Credits and around 900 to 1,500 Points one-way, while a Business class fare earns more. Frequent Flyers can also redeem Points on the route, with a one-way Classic Reward starting at around 18,000 to 24,000 Points in Economy and 36,000 to 48,000 Points in Business, depending on the season.
The Aircraft and the Cabin
The direct Auckland to Nadi flight is operated by Fiji Airways, so the aircraft is a Fiji Airways Boeing 737 or Airbus A320, not a Qantas aircraft. The 737 and the A320 are both narrow-body jets with around 160 to 180 seats in a two-cabin layout — Economy in a 3-3 layout and Business in a 2-2 layout — with a standard pitch of around 31 to 32 inches, a USB port at every seat and a shared overhead screen for entertainment. The Economy seat has a recliner-style backrest, and Business has a wider recliner seat with more recline and a full bar service.
The 3-hour flight is long enough for a full meal service in both cabins, with complimentary soft drinks, tea and coffee in Economy and a full bar service in Business. There is no seat-back entertainment on the 737 or the A320 (only a shared overhead screen), so download a movie or two before you fly, or bring a book. The flight crosses the Tasman Sea and the Pacific, so you usually see open water and the occasional reef or island on the approach into Nadi.
The Airports: Auckland and Nadi
Auckland (AKL)
Qantas uses the International Terminal at Auckland Airport (AKL) for the codeshare flight to Nadi. Qantas Club members and Business class passengers have access to the Qantas Lounge at Auckland before the flight. The morning departures are usually around 8 to 11 am local time, landing in Nadi in time for lunch. Allow at least 2 hours before an international departure.
Nadi International (NAN)
All Qantas flights arrive at Nadi International Airport (NAN), the main international gateway to Fiji, on the western side of Viti Levu. Nadi Airport is a 20-minute taxi or shuttle ride from the Denarau Island resorts and a 10-minute ride from the town of Nadi. Taxis are metered and plentiful, and most resorts run a meet-and-greet shuttle from the airport for a fixed fee.
If you are staying on Denarau Island, the Coral Coast or the Mamanuca or Yasawa islands, Nadi is the right airport — all the major Fiji resorts are within 3 hours' drive or a short boat transfer. Suva, the capital, is served by Nausori International Airport (SUV), around 2 hours' drive from Nadi, but Qantas does not fly to Suva, and most international flights (including Qantas and Fiji Airways) use Nadi. Once you land at Nadi, you are usually on the beach or at the resort pool within an hour.
