ICISUV

Which side of the plane to sit from Cicia Airport (Cicia) to Nausori International Airport (Nausori)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Rewa Delta's complex waterways and the coastal approach to the Suva region.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Cicia Lagoons

Vibrant turquoise coral reefs and white sand beaches surrounding the island immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Koro Sea

The deep azure waters of the South Pacific, often dotted with local fishing vessels.

🌿

Rewa Delta

Fiji's largest delta system featuring a maze of mangrove forests and winding river branches.

🏙️

Suva Harbor

A panoramic view of the capital city's coastline and the busy maritime gateway of Fiji.

🛶

Nukulau Island

A historic small islet located just off the coast near the entrance to the Laucala Bay.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing on the left side to capture the best photos of the Rewa Delta. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the vivid colors of the reefs and the lush green vegetation of Viti Levu without harsh glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Northern Lau Islets

Occasional sightings of remote islands such as Tuvuca and Mago to the north during the cruise phase.

⛰️

Medrausucu Range

Rugged, emerald-green mountain peaks that form the backbone of eastern Viti Levu.

🚢

Ovalau Island

Distant views of the island home to Levuka, Fiji's first capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

🚜

Nausori Farmlands

Aerial perspectives of the fertile agricultural plains and sugarcane fields during final descent.

💧

Wainibuka River

The upper reaches of the river system snaking through the inland valleys.

The right side is excellent for spotting distant islands in the Koro Sea and the dramatic volcanic topography of the mainland. If flying in the late afternoon, the right side will offer views of the sunset over the mountains, though glare can be an issue for photography.
