Search flights from SYD to SUV
Eastern Suburbs
Stunning views of Bondi, Bronte, and Coogee beaches immediately after takeoff from Sydney.
Beqa Lagoon
Vibrant coral formations and the mountainous silhouette of Beqa Island during the descent.
Suva Harbour
A clear view of Fiji's capital, its shipping port, and the historic Grand Pacific Hotel.
Namosi Highlands
The rugged, mist-shrouded volcanic peaks of the interior visible in the distance during the approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the reefs. As you approach Nausori, the plane often flies parallel to the southern coast, providing a perfect view of Suva. Ensure you are seated several rows behind the wing to see the Beqa Lagoon reefs clearly.

Sydney Harbour
A chance to see the Opera House and Harbour Bridge if the aircraft departs towards the north or west.
Tasman Horizon
Deep blue oceanic vistas where the Tasman Sea meets the South Pacific.
Rewa River Delta
The intricate, winding waterways of Fiji's largest river system just moments before touchdown.
Viti Levu Coastline
The lush, tropical green periphery of the main island as the plane turns for its final approach.
Choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On afternoon flights, this side is shaded, making it easier to photograph the Rewa River delta without glare. Keep an eye out for the transition from deep ocean blue to the bright turquoise of the coastal shelf.
