Does Qantas Fly to Fiji From Brisbane? The Route
Qantas flies direct from Brisbane Airport (BNE) to Nadi International Airport (NAN) in Fiji, with a direct flight time of around 4 hours 40 minutes, daily departures and a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A330. The route crosses around 2,830 km (1,760 miles) northeast over the Coral Sea, and Fiji is 2 hours ahead of Brisbane, so the clock-time difference makes the journey feel a little longer than the 4h 40m in the air. The morning Qantas departure from Brisbane lands in Nadi in time for lunch, and the afternoon return lands back in Brisbane in the early evening.
Qantas also codeshares with Fiji Airways, so you may see a Fiji Airways flight number (FJ) on the same aircraft as a Qantas codeshare. The codeshare means you can book the flight through Qantas with Qantas Frequent Flyer earn, even when the aircraft is operated by Fiji Airways. The direct Qantas flight is the fastest and most convenient way to reach Fiji from Brisbane; if you prefer to connect through Sydney, Qantas also offers Brisbane–Sydney–Nadi routings, but the direct flight is the one to take.

Qantas Brisbane to Nadi Fares
Economy fares
A return Qantas Economy ticket from Brisbane to Nadi starts at around $400 to $600 in the cheapest 'Red e-Deal' fare bucket, rising to $650 to $850 in the flexible 'Flex' Economy fare. The cheapest fares are usually 6 to 8 weeks ahead, outside the Australian 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 Qantas Brisbane to Nadi costs from around $1,100 to $1,700 return, with a recliner or lie-flat seat (on the A330), a full meal and drinks service, a larger baggage allowance and Qantas International Lounge access at Brisbane. 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 Brisbane to Nadi route, with the earn rate depending on the fare bucket and your Frequent Flyer tier. A typical Economy 'Flex' fare earns around 25 to 30 Status Credits and around 1,000 to 1,200 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
Qantas uses a mix of Boeing 737 and Airbus A330 aircraft on the Brisbane to Nadi route. The 737 is configured with Economy and Business class cabins, with a 3-3 layout in Economy and a 2-2 layout in Business. The A330 is wider, with a 2-4-2 layout in Economy and a lie-flat Business class in a 1-2-1 layout — the A330 is the more comfortable aircraft on the route, and it usually operates the peak-season flights. The Economy seat has a standard pitch of around 31 to 32 inches, with a recliner-style backrest, a USB port and seat-back entertainment on the A330.
The 4h 40m 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 seat-back entertainment on the A330, but the 737 has only a shared overhead screen, so download a movie or two before you fly if you are on the 737. The flight crosses the Coral Sea, so you usually see open water and the occasional reef or island on the approach into Nadi.
The Airports: Brisbane International and Nadi
Brisbane International (BNE)
Qantas uses the International Terminal at Brisbane Airport (BNE) for the Brisbane to Nadi flight. Qantas Club members and Business class passengers have access to the Qantas International Lounge at Brisbane before the flight. Allow at least 2 hours before an international departure, as the queue at passport control and security can be slow in the morning.
Nadi International (NAN)
The Qantas flight arrives 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 from Brisbane, 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.
