What Days Does Qantas Fly to Fiji? The Routes
Qantas flies direct to Nadi International Airport (NAN) in Fiji from three Australian cities — Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. The Sydney to Nadi route is the shortest and most frequent, with daily departures year-round and a flight time of around 4h 30m. The Brisbane to Nadi route is also daily, with a flight time of around 4h 40m. The Melbourne to Nadi route runs around 3 to 5 days a week — usually on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday — with a flight time of around 5h 50m, and the schedule changes with the season.
Qantas also codeshares with Fiji Airways, so a day with no Qantas flight from Melbourne may still have a Fiji Airways flight number (FJ) on the same aircraft. The codeshare means you can book the flight through Qantas with Qantas Frequent Flyer earn, even when the aircraft is operated by Fiji Airways. If you need a day that the Melbourne to Nadi route does not operate, you can connect through Sydney or Brisbane on a Qantas domestic flight and then take the direct Qantas flight to Nadi.

The Airports: Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Nadi
Australian departures
Qantas uses the International Terminal at Sydney (SYD), Brisbane (BNE) and Melbourne Tullamarine (MEL) for the flights to Nadi. Qantas Club members and Business class passengers have access to the Qantas International Lounge at all three airports before the flight. The morning Qantas departures are usually around 8 to 11 am local time.
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, whatever day you fly.
