Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dallas-fort Worth to Nandi. While the right side wins at DFW departure, the left side delivers the more dramatic payoff: the stunning Mamanuca Islands approach into Fiji is genuinely one of the most beautiful airport approaches in the Pacific. The left side also tracks the Hawaiian Islands chain if the routing passes near Hawaii, and catches the sunrise over the central Pacific on this westbound overnight flight.

During takeoff from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Right side for the best views. DFW's primary departure runways (17C/17R heading south, or 18L/18R) mean a right-side seat gives you a clear view over downtown Dallas, the skyline, and White Rock Lake as you climb out. Departures heading southwest toward the Pacific will bank left, swinging the right side toward the city core. Notable sights include: Downtown Dallas skyline, White Rock Lake, Trinity River corridor, Texas Stadium area (Arlington).

When landing at Nadi International (NAN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Nadi International typically uses runway 02 for arrivals from the north, meaning the aircraft approaches from the south over the Coral Coast. A left-side seat faces east toward the Viti Levu highlands and the lush interior mountains, while also catching the Mamanuca Islands scattered in the blue water to the northwest on the approach turn. Notable sights include: Mamanuca Islands chain, Viti Levu central highlands, Nadi Bay, Coral Coast reef line.

The flight from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) to Nadi International (NAN) takes Approximately 10.5 to 11.5 hours depending on routing and winds, typically operated via a great circle route passing south of Hawaii.

The route crosses the Gulf of Mexico briefly before tracking over open Pacific. Depending on the exact routing, the Hawaiian Islands (Oahu, Maui, the Big Island) may be visible on the left side from 35,000 feet as low dark landmasses in the ocean. The International Date Line is crossed roughly 3,000 miles east of Fiji. The final descent passes over the Lau Group or Lomaiviti Group of Fiji's outer islands before reaching Viti Levu.
