patrick_l_h 00:22 UTC 08 Jul 2008 | Hi I am wondering what is the best and the cheapest way to get to New Ireland from papua new guinea. |
Laszlo 00:36 UTC 08 Jul 2008 | From??? New Ireland is in Papua New Guinea! Within the country, you can get there either by air or sea - boats go to Kavieng from Rabaul in East New Britain, which in turn gets boats from Lae on the mainland. | 1
patrick_l_h 03:14 UTC 08 Jul 2008 | Sorry I worded that wrong I know it is in Papua New Guinea. So is there a website I can go to to see how much flight or boats would cost? | 2
Laszlo 09:36 UTC 08 Jul 2008 | I believe Air Niugini's website shows some fares. I really doubt the shipping companies have websites, but the recent LP guide should have fairly accurate fares. | 3
hedstran 19:43 UTC 16 Oct 2008 | I just got back from PNG in September. The best way to get to New Ireland is through Port Moresby (actually it is the only way by plane, and a boat would be virtually impossible to schedule from the states ahead of time).. it costs around $200-300 RT via Air Niugini... the only airline that flies there. | 4
popeye1983 00:15 UTC 26 Oct 2008 | Actually - Airlines PNG also fly there on fixed schedules, or charter from North Coast Aviation from Lae or Rabaul... Generally the main carriers will get you to Kavieng, or the chartered aircraft will go anywhere you want in New Ireland | 5
