Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Adelaide to Nandi. While takeoff favors left seats for Adelaide Hills views, the landing approach over Nadi Bay and Fiji's reef system is more visually rewarding and dramatic. Right seats capture the approach descent over the lagoon and coastal features, making the overall journey more scenic from the right side.
