There is no sea route between the other countries. If you are going to or through Solomon Islands, Solomon Airlines is the best provider - they also code-share with the other regional airlines. There are flights from Port Moresby to Honiara, then Honiara to Port Vila, and Port Vila to Nadi. Fiji is a regional hub, and there are fights from there to most parts of the Pacific. | 2
scuba_safari_sid 07:01 UTC 29 Jan 2013 | Once a week on a Friday Air Niugini flies Port Moresby, Honiari, Nadi amd on Saturday Nadi, Honiara, Port Moresby. It's the only connection. www.bestofpng.com can help you with tickets and any arrangements you might need to make in PNG. | 3
ozziegiraffe 09:50 UTC 29 Jan 2013 | Looks like Solomon Airlines is not operating between Port Moresby and Honiara at present. However,once you are in Honiara, you also can fly on Air Pacific or Air Vanuatu, to Vanuatu and Fiji. Tmtable here | 4
