# Travel Query: Philippines to PNG Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea
fogaldo 13:14 UTC 21 Feb 2007 | Hello from Dali in China Im planning to travel from the Philippines to PNG in April / May 2007. Can anyone recommend method of transport e.g boat or flight (inc. flight company). Many thanks |
Laszlo 13:34 UTC 21 Feb 2007 | I think Air Niugini flies from Manila to Port Moresby directly - they are the one ones. It won't be cheap. There are no boats, but you may be able to cut costs by going overland from Indonesia. It would be time-consuming if done the cheap way though. | 1
fogaldo 14:30 UTC 21 Feb 2007 | I checked the site, but they dont do any flights from the Philippines. I was planning to travel Indonesia and Malaysia after PNG. So I guess I could mix that itinerary up a bit. Thanks. | 2

cgusto 12:38 UTC 28 Feb 2007 | There is the flight from Manila to KK in Malaysian Borneo with Air Asia which cheap. You could do Borneo (Malaysia and Indo) and make your way using Pelni in Indo and eventually get to Papua and go overland from Papua (Indo) to PNG. You would could do Indo variety of ways I think. Check out the Pelni site that someone made which is in Indo branch that tells about routes and timetables. Figure out where you want to see and just have to eventually make way to Jayapura. this would take long time as Laszlo said though and if want to travel in Indo maybe best to get two month visa in home country or could try in Manila. Other option would be doing flight from Davao to Sulawesi and then boat from here to Jayapura (Papua) and then overland to PNG. I have never done this but from what I have read I think it would be possible although take awhile | 4
