DOMESTIC AIRFARES ON AIR NIUGINI

All Air New Guinea domestic fares are priced the same, regardless of the destination. These fares can be used to access all resorts and/or live-aboards within PNG except Tufi Resort. Changing planes while transiting Port Moresby on the same day is still classed as one flight. A one-centre holiday will require 2 domestic flights, a 2-centre holiday 3 domestic flights and so on…

All Air Niugini domestic flights are economy class only.

All Milne Bay Air domestic flights are economy class only.

PORT MORESBY STOPOVERS/AIRWAYS HOTEL

International arrivals from and departures to Singapore do not always connect conveniently with domestic flights within Papua New Guinea. A day room at the Airways Hotel may be a pleasant way to relax before or after a long haul flight. On making your booking we can advise whether a day room may be required.

• 01 January – 31 December 2006: £70/day(Twin or Single)

Certain destinations within Papua New Guinea cannot be accessed on the same day and a stopover in Port Moresby may be required. This particularly applies to Tufi. Again, we will advise you of this at the time of booking.

Prices include return airport transfers and are on a room only basis.

HOTEL-BASED DIVING

We offer a suggested 5-night package at each resort, to which you may add additional nights if you wish. We would recommend approximately 7 – 8 nights as a maximum in each resort; a 2-centred holiday is ideal within a 2-week period. We have shown diving as a separate add-on price; a discount has been offered for those wanting to do a 5 day diving package. Additional day’s diving above the 5 days is on a pro rata rate.
