Travel time: 1-2 hours, depending on where you stayed
This is the moment when you realise that you should have stayed in Fiji way longer! Nevertheless, on your way back to Nadi International Airport, you’ll have the opportunity to check out anything you might have missed over the last couple of days, as you will be backtracking through already visited areas. Then, you’ll be able to catch your flight out of Fiji at Nadi International Airport.
Remember to arrive at Nadi Airport a couple of hours before your scheduled departure so that you have enough time to check in, go through security and browse the duty-free. With eateries like Burger King in the Departures Lounge, needless to say, we recommend getting food before you arrive at the airport (unless you plan to splurge on a VIP Lounge – find out more in The Complete Guide to Nadi Airport).

And it’s “sota tale” from Fiji!
