NAN Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Nadi International Airport.
What to Expect
Nadi Airport (code: NAN) has a small, recently renovated, single terminal with about a dozen eateries and shops and a duty-free store. WiFi is available to help pass the time. Additional comfort can be found through fee-based access to one of the airport’s first-class lounges. See Airport Lounges below for locations and rates.
Sleeping in Nadi Airport
Past reviewers suggested that sleeping options may be better landside than airside. They mentioned that there are some couches at the airport but noted that they are outdated. We have had no traveller reports since the renovations were completed, so if you have recently been to this airport, please help fellow travellers by writing a review. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below or read some traveller reviews for more tips.
Good to Know
We have received reports of duty-free items being confiscated without reason or otherwise stolen from checked bags.

In this guide we may refer to locations as “landside” and “airside”. Landside is the public area of the terminal located in the non-secure zone, before security. Airside is the secure area of the terminal that you must reach by going through security.
Airport Hours
The airport is open 24 hours.
Rest & Relaxation Zones
A reader tells us: “There are large daybed type lounges throughout the international airside. Go through the Prouds duty free store to find a smaller, slightly hidden, lounge where you can sleep on the daybeds uninterrupted.” (July 2019)
Take precautions even when sleeping in the rest zones. In December 2019, a traveller at another airport reported that money and credit cards had been stolen from their bag even though the bag was right beside them. Protect and lock your bags as you would sleeping elsewhere in public.
