A stunning bay near Port Moresby with turquoise waters and small coastal villages visible immediately during climb.
Coral Sea Atolls
Keep an eye out for isolated reef structures and remote atolls scattered throughout the vast Coral Sea.
Mamanuca Islands
The world-famous resort islands of Fiji, featuring white sand beaches and incredible reef clarity during the descent.
Viti Levu Coastline
A low-altitude view of the Great Sea Reef and the lush agricultural plains near Nadi as the plane aligns for landing.
This side is essential for the iconic Nadi arrival. Most flights approach from the west, placing the Mamanuca Islands directly outside your window. For morning flights, this side is ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for the reef colors.
