# Flights with AirNiugini @ Better aborad in advance or once in PNG? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea
iker_vit 07:52 UTC 05 Jun 2014 | Hi all, I am asking this question because I am thinking about booking in advance one flight or two for the time I arrive in Port Moresby on Sept. 1st. Is it worth it to book flights in advance from outside PNG or better and cheaper once in PNG directly in Port Moresby's airport? Thanks and cheers, Iker |

majordom 21:23 UTC 05 Jun 2014 | air niugini and airlines PNG both take internet bookings (or use a good agent) and usually the earlier you book the cheaper they are - there is little point booking in person and not worth risking there being no tickets or only very expensive ones (especially around big festivals) | 2
majordom 21:28 UTC 05 Jun 2014 | actually it can be better to book with an agent - if you fly with air niugini intl then they can usually ensure you get a domestic ticket code which gives you the higher international baggage allowance | 3
dvpfig 21:30 UTC 06 Jul 2014 | My advice is to book in advance and online, it will be cheaper. Both Air Niugini and Airlines PNG have offices at airports or in cities, but I could find better prices online on the two flights I tried to book directly at them. Besides, once you are in PNG, it will be very hard to find a reasonable internet connection to book your tickets online. /Daniel | 4
