Which side of the plane to sit from Labasa Airport (Lambasa) to Nausori International Airport (Nausori)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Koro Sea island chain, including Koro and Ovalau islands, and a spectacular approach over the lush Rewa Delta.
Labasa Sugarcane Fields
Vibrant green patches and the winding Qawa River visible immediately after takeoff from Vanua Levu.
Koro Sea Reefs
Breathtaking coral formations and varying shades of turquoise water as the plane crosses the open sea.
Koro Island
A prominent volcanic island known for its lush vegetation and rugged coastline passing mid-flight.
Ovalau Island
The site of Levuka, Fiji's first capital, often visible nestled against steep volcanic cliffs.
Rewa Delta
An intricate maze of river channels and mangrove forests during the final approach into Nausori.
Choose the left side on morning flights to have the sun behind you. This side provides the best perspective of the island-hopping route across the Koro Sea. Look for the small sand cays and reef systems that dot the ocean between the two main islands.
Vanua Levu Interior
Rugged, forested mountain peaks of the southern Vanua Levu peninsula during the climb.
Savusavu Peninsula
Aerial views of the 'hidden paradise' and the deep waters of Savusavu Bay to the west.
Makogai Island
A beautiful island surrounded by a rich marine reserve, visible during the middle of the flight.
Bau Island
The tiny, historically powerful chiefly island located just off the coast of Viti Levu.
Nakauvadra Range
The distant, misty silhouettes of Viti Levu's northern mountain ranges as you approach the mainland.
The right side is excellent for viewing the mountainous terrain of Fiji's interior. In the late afternoon, the light hitting the Viti Levu highlands can be particularly golden, though you may face some glare from the setting sun over the sea.
