Cheap Flights to Fiji

When to fly to Fiji

Peak Season:

The weather is good throughout the entire year, even in the wet season. Peak season is determined more by the departing country. For Fiji flights from Canada, prices tend to rise around the Christmas time and during winter.

Off Season:

Discounted rates for hotels can be found in February and March – still a pleasant time to visit.

Fiji is blessed with blue lagoons, stretches of white sand beaches bordered by coconut palm trees and a stunning mountain backdrop. Along with the colourful reefs, appealing to scuba divers and snorkelers, it is not hard to see why travellers book flights to Fiji year after year to enjoy this tropical paradise. 

Overview

Fiji comprises 322 islands and has one of the more developed economies of all the Pacific islands. The country’s main source of revenue is tourism, but unlike some other high-tourist islands, Fiji caters to all budgets. Travellers can book Fiji flights and hotels that range from top-of-the-range five-star resorts to budget hostels catering to the backpacking generation. But wherever you end up staying, the charm of Fiji is the same: a calm and laidback atmosphere, friendly people and a culture that combines influences from Polynesia, Micronesia, China and Europe.

Fiji climate

Fiji’s warm tropical climate is tempered by trade winds cooling down the islands to a comfortable range. The highs in the summer average a temperature of 31 C and the winter is only a bit lower. It rains throughout the year, but April, May, June and October are considered the dry months.

Getting around Fiji

The fastest way to travel between the islands is to catch a plane. Domestic Fiji flights are available from the national carrier, Air Fiji, which has about 65 departures every day to 15 islands, and Sun Air. Most domestic flights depart from Suva.

Ferries and other boats also offer many services between the islands. Travel is slow, but usually relaxing and it’s a great way to the see the country.

To travel within an island, the cheapest option is to take a bus. Roads are often filled with potholes, suspension on the buses is bad and they often have no windows. Unsurprisingly, buses have become known as “rattlers”. You can normally just hail a bus when you see one and it will stop and take you on to the next town. There are no “express” routes, so if you’re travelling a long distance, be prepared to stop everywhere along the way.
