Savai'i Island
Magnificent views of Samoa's largest volcanic island and the Apolima Strait shortly after departure.
Yasawa Island Chain
A stunning string of volcanic islands and white sand beaches visible during the descent into Fiji.
Mamanuca Islands
The quintessential Fijian view of tiny resort islands and coral lagoons during the final approach.
Wallis and Futuna
Occasional distant views of these remote French Pacific territories depending on the specific flight corridor.
Denarau Island

Upolu Barrier Reef
Vibrant turquoise reefs surrounding the coastline of Upolu immediately after takeoff from Faleolo.
Sabeto Mountains
The rugged 'Sleeping Giant' mountain range visible as the aircraft aligns for the runway in Nadi.
Nadi Town
