The wet season happens between November and April. Expect high levels of humidity and regular rainfall if you book cheap flights to Suva during this period. However, keep in mind there’s no such thing as a bad time to book flights to Suva – Fiji is a year round paradise. The extra rainfall really emphasises the beauty of the rainforests and waterfalls across Fiji. Fewer tourists travel to Fiji during the wet season, so you can find hotel rooms for a bargain.

Dry season takes place during the other half of the year, between May and October.

Lock in your hotel early for the best rate if you’ll be holidaying on flights to Suva at this time. Consider travelling on return flights to Suva at the very beginning or end of dry season to benefit from the nice weather outside of the busiest peak time.
