Texans in need of an island escape will soon have a direct link to the one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the South Pacific: Fiji. Starting December 10, 2024, Fiji Airways will fly directly between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Nadi International Airport in Fiji, a 13-hour journey.

Fiji Airways currently only operates three non-stop routes between the US and Fiji: Los Angeles to Nadi, San Francisco to Nadi, and Honolulu to Nadi. The addition of a fourth direct route will allow more US travelers to explore the country of Fiji and its 350 islands.

Nadi International Airport is Fiji’s largest airport and the main international port of entry. While there is another international airport on the main island of Fiji (Viti Levu), Nausori International Airport mostly covers domestic flights to and from the other 13 airports of the archipelago.

While home to the largest airport in the archipelago, Nadi, located on the western side of the main island, is not the capital or the biggest city in Fiji. Suva, located on the south-eastern coast, is.

To celebrate the new direct route between the US and Fiji, Fiji Airways has launched special return airfares from $699. Bookings for the new route are now available on Fiji Airways’ website.

With Fiji Airways also flying directly to cities in Australia, New Zealand, as well as to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo, among others, Nadi International Airport makes for a great connecting platform for US travelers. Introductory fares for those who wish to travel from Dallas to Australia and New Zealand via Nadi start at $899.

Earlier this summer, Fiji Airways joined American Airlines AAdvantage travel rewards program, allowing rewards members to use their points to book a trip to the South Pacific, or further afield.

Fiji Airways will become a member of the global airline alliance Oneworld in 2025. The Oneworld alliance currently has 14 members. Airline alliances such as Oneworld allow travelers to easily create single itineraries that include multiple member airlines.
