Fiji Airways makes global adventures more accessible than ever for Canberrans
There’s nothing that brings down the holiday vibe more than that pre-dawn drive to Sydney Airport. But what if we told you that your next international adventure could start right here in Canberra?
Yes, really! Fiji Airways now offers direct flights from Canberra Airport to Nadi three times a week, and from there, the world is literally your oyster. Hello, rejuvenating long weekend or school holiday adventure!

That easy four-hour direct flight to Nadi is just the beginning – there’s a world of destinations just a short tropical stopover away. From there, you can jet off to North American destinations including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, and Vancouver, or head to Asian hotspots like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.
Imagine starting your US adventure in California, hitting the slopes in Vancouver, or exploring the vibrant streets of Singapore—all without the hassle of interstate transfers.

And of course, there’s Fiji itself. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a romantic getaway, or a solo adventure, those pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters are calling.
For the ultimate travel experience, design your flights to include a Fiji stopover at either end of your journey. A week skiing in Banff followed by recovery time on a Fijian beach? Absolute heaven.
Full-service flying
Your holiday begins the second you step onto the plane at Canberra Airport.
While many of us have become accustomed to budget airlines (where a bottle of water costs as much as your ticket), Fiji Airways offers a refreshingly complete experience. It’s no surprise they were named “Best Airline in Australia and Pacific” for the second consecutive year at the prestigious Skytrax 2024 World Airline Awards.
Enjoy in-flight entertainment, meals, and warm Fijian hospitality from the moment you board. Your holiday truly begins the second you step onto the plane.
The Canberra Airport experience
Enjoy a little retail therapy at Canberra Airport before you head off.
Flying internationally from Canberra is delightfully civilised (you can even pre-book your parking for stress-free departing at Canberra Airport!).
After clearing security, treat yourself to some pre-flight shopping at Merchant, where you’ll find local treasures like The Canberra Distillery gin (might we recommend the HerCanberra French Earl Grey Gin?), Bison Homewares, and Jasper & Myrtle.
For beauty indulgences, Amuse Beauty Studio offers luxury brands including Jo Malone, Tom Ford, and MAC.
Need a pre-flight bite? Choose from Asian delights at Noodles XO, all-day dining at cityhill, pub fare at Airport Taproom, or grab-and-go options at Baker’s Cut.
Then head up to level three for international departures – just turn left and take the escalator next to Noodles XO. After passport check and security screening, browse CBR Duty Free without the crowds of bigger airports.
Start your holiday early with a drink in the international lounge, where uninterrupted runway views create one of the most relaxing pre-flight experiences you’ll ever have.
