All journeys in Papua New Guinea start and end in the capital city of Port Moresby at Jacksons International Airport (POM). Many connect through this airport throughout their Papua New Guinea adventure as aerial travel is the only way to traverse the country from the coastlands to the highlands. Fortunately, one of the world’s most awarded hotels is just a two-minute drive from POM.
