Travelling from Solomon Islands to Denpasar or JakartaCountry forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Solomon Islands | ||
Hello, could anyone advise me what is the cheaper way to travel from Solomon island, is it trough PNG(Honiara-Port Moresby-Vanimo) then landcrossing to to Indonesia and taking a plane from Jayapura or flying from Honiara to Darwin or to any other Australian city and from there to indonesia?

The only Australian city you can fly to direct from Honiara is Brisbane. Fares can go as low as $200 - $250 Pacific Blue online (maybe also Solomon Airlines now). | 1 | |
The overland routes are worth it for the experience, but are very time-consuming and could easily cost more than flying. If in doubt, fly! | 2 | |
Travelled overland from Honiara to Jayapura this year and yes, it is exactly as Laszlo says..... If your aim is to get cheaply to Indonesia, fly. | 3 | |
