Search flights from HNL to NAN
Waianae Range
The dramatic, jagged peaks of Western Oahu as the aircraft turns toward the Southwest.
Johnston Atoll
A rare glimpse of this remote, isolated coral atoll located roughly 750 miles from Hawaii.
Yasawa Islands
A stunning chain of volcanic islands appearing like emeralds in the sea during the descent.
Mamanuca Islands
The picture-perfect island group known for its world-class resorts and sandbars.
Nadi Bay
The final glide path over the shallow, reef-filled waters just before touchdown.
The Right Side is highly recommended for afternoon flights, as it will be in the shade for most of the journey southward. The highlight of this side is the descent into Nadi; usually, planes approach from the North, which places the stunning Yasawa and Mamanuca island chains directly in your window view. Look for the distinct 'Castaway' island (Monuriki) among the Mamanucas.

Honolulu Skyline
Panoramic views of the Waikiki waterfront and downtown high-rises immediately after takeoff.
Diamond Head
An aerial look at the iconic volcanic crater that defines the south shore of Oahu.
Pearl Harbor
Historic views of the harbor, Ford Island, and the USS Arizona Memorial.
Equator Crossing
The invisible transition from the Northern to the Southern Hemisphere over the open Pacific.
Viti Levu Reefs
Intricate turquoise coral formations bordering the eastern side of Fiji's main island.
The Left Side is ideal for morning departures from Honolulu to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. During the approach to Nadi, keep your camera ready for the sudden transition from deep ocean blue to the vibrant turquoise of the Fijian fringing reefs. If the flight path takes a southerly route, you might spot the remote Line Islands of Kiribati.
