Nausori airport, 16 km north-east of Suva, serves Fiji's capital: a city that is different and more institutional than Nadi, with ministries, embassies and the campus of the University of the South Pacific rather than beach resorts. The transfer into the centre takes 30-45 minutes by taxi (official taxis wait outside arrivals) or by public bus, caught on Kings Road just steps from the terminal. There is no real hotel area near the runway: those arriving in Suva practically always stay in the city, which is also where most restaurants and offices for business travellers are found.
