| How To Get To Fiji From Denver |
Buckle Up, Buttercup: Flights are Your Only Option
There's no magic portal between Denver and Fiji (although a waterslide straight to the beach would be pretty sweet). Flights are your only way to go. Brace yourself for a journey – we're talking over 10,000 kilometers of Pacific Ocean between you and that hammock.
Pro Tip: While there aren't any non-stop flights, you can snag a decent connection with just one or two layovers. Think of it as a bonus vacation to stretch your legs and maybe grab some duty-free souvenirs (because who doesn't love a questionable-looking lei from LAX?).
Choosing Your Fiji Gateway: Nadi or Suva?
Fiji has a few airports, but the two main contenders for your Denver escape are Nadi (NAN) and Suva (SUV).
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
- Nadi: This is the more tourist-heavy option, think beach resorts and day trips to nearby islands. It's also the closest international airport to the main tourist areas.
- Suva: Suva is Fiji's capital city, with a more local vibe. Flights here might be slightly cheaper, but you'll likely need to factor in some extra travel time to get to the beachy bits.
Don't sweat it too much, both airports will get you to your final Fiji destination eventually. Just picture yourself with a cocktail in hand – the specific beach will come soon enough.
Battle of the Benjamins: How Much Dough Will This Fiji Flight Cost?
There's no sugarcoating it, flights to Fiji aren't exactly budget-friendly. Prices can range anywhere from $500 to a cool $1,500, depending on the time of year, airline, and number of layovers.
Here's the good news: Keep an eye out for deals! Airlines often have sales, and you might be able to snag a bargain if you're flexible with your travel dates.
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
Remember: The cheapest flights tend to have the most layovers, so factor in the extra travel time when making your decision.

Fiji Bound! Here's What to Pack (Besides Your Swimsuit)
- Comfy Clothes for the Plane: Trust us, looking fly in the Denver airport won't matter much when you're crammed into an airplane seat for 20 hours. Pack loose layers and comfy shoes.
- Fijian Essentials: Sunscreen, a hat, a reusable water bottle (Fiji is super eco-conscious!), and a swimsuit that doubles as shorts (because who wants to check a whole separate bag?).
- Entertainment: Download some movies, podcasts, or audiobooks for the long flight. Unless you secretly enjoy staring at the back of the seat in front of you for hours.
Bonus Tip: Pack a Fijian phrasebook to impress the locals with your "Bula!" (hello) and "Vinaka!" (thank you).
