Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Nandi to Los Angeles. The LAX arrival on the right side delivers a genuinely spectacular view of the Los Angeles Basin and the Santa Monica Mountains that is hard to beat. The Nadi departure on the left is excellent for the Mamanuca Islands, but the right side at LAX is the more memorable and sustained visual experience during the critical descent phase.

During takeoff from Nadi International (NAN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Nadi's primary runway 02 means a northward departure, putting the left side facing west over the Mamanuca Islands and the Fijian reef systems. You get a clear view of the island chain scattered across the lagoon before the aircraft turns northeast toward the Pacific. Notable sights include: Mamanuca Islands chain, Nadi Bay reef flats, Viti Levu's western coastal lowlands, Yasawa Island group on the distant horizon.

When landing at Los Angeles International (LAX), sit on the Right side for the best views. LAX's primary arrival runways 24L/24R mean aircraft approach from the east over the Los Angeles Basin, putting the right side facing north over the city grid, downtown LA skyline, and the Santa Monica Mountains. The left side faces south over the ocean and less distinctive suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Downtown Los Angeles skyline, Santa Monica Mountains, Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles Basin urban grid.

The flight from Nadi International (NAN) to Los Angeles International (LAX) takes Approximately 10 to 10.5 hours.

The route crosses the central South Pacific Ocean, passing north of French Polynesia and the Tuamotu Archipelago. The flight then traverses the North Pacific high-pressure zone, a largely featureless open ocean expanse. Approaching North America, the route crosses the California coastline near Point Conception or the Channel Islands area, with the Channel Islands occasionally visible on descent. The entire mid-flight section is open ocean with no land features visible.
