Buckle Up, Buttercup: Flights to Fiji
Forget months at sea on a leaky schooner – flights are your chariot to Fijian bliss. Melbourne offers a bunch of airlines vying for your patronage, so you can snag a deal that won't leave your wallet weeping kava (a local drink, not a medical condition). Direct flights take around 5 hours, which is about the same time it takes to watch every episode of Friends twice (because why not?).
Pro Tip: Be a comparison champ and scope out deals on websites like Skyscanner or Google Flights. You might just score a bargain that'll leave you with extra Fiji Dollars for all-important lovo (a Fijian feast) binges.
Nadi or Bust: Gateway to Fijian Adventures
Nadi, Fiji's international airport hub, will likely be your landing zone. From there, you can catch domestic flights to other islands, hop on a ferry, or – for the truly adventurous – try your hand at Fijian hitchhiking (though we recommend sticking to taxis for this one).
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
Fun Fact: Nadi boasts a giant ginger statue – because why not have a giant root vegetable greet you upon arrival?
