Cafe Society Arrives….
I need to be upfront and state that the departure lounge at Port Moresby’s domestic terminal is not my favorite place in Papua New Guinea.
The general rule of thumb when visiting PNG is to get through Port Moresby as quickly as possible and on to your final destination. There is not much to see in the national capital and accommodation, which was always expensive, now borders on plain extortion…
So, unless you intend to go by boat, this means you have to fly and pass a few hours in the domestic terminal.
Internal air travel can be unreliable & the main carrier Air Nuigini (www.airniugini.com.pg) seems to suffer a disproprtionate amount of flight delays & cancellations, although in fairness my last two trips have happened without a single issue.
But I have spent many an hour waiting for delayed flights in the domestic terminal and this is the reason I have developed somewhat of an aversion for the place…
So it is with great delight that I am able to bring you the exciting news that cafe society has arrived with a bang at the domestic terminal!
No longer do you have to choose between hunger or a dodgy meat pie and Nescafe at five in the morning as you wait for your early morning departure.
You can now select a capuccino or latte to accompany your half decent sandwich as you wait for your flight to be called.
