Air Niugini off to Bali

For those interested Air Niugini are about to commence a regular 737 service in between Moresby and Bali. Could be a money spinner if the fares aren't over inflated.

Jollys for Pollies (thieves), otherwise a waste of time I suspect

Hopefully it will fly several times a week, that will fit my needs nicely. I assume Garuda will also be starting up a DPS-POM vv service.

Would that be the Q400ER or Q400LR?

Q400 to Bali? It's a long way from POM.

Bryan Grey was thinking of an Air Niugini route POM-DRW-DPS way back when. He was always ahead of his time... even getting into submarines!!!

It's only once a week on a Monday night.

And if the airfares are anything like they charge to Singapore and Manila, I don't think there will be too many takers !!

DPS-POM

That would be convenient, but waiting on the price.

Now the people smugglers don't have to use dangerous flimsy boat transport. Now we cross the Indonesian border into PNG then hire a "tinny" and drop onto Horn Is. If you have the cash to fly to Indonesia, why not just keep going in comfort?

Those being sent to PNG and found genuine, but "pushed in" get a PNG passport and just catch a flight to Cairns.

This announcement brought to you by the commonwealth government. (or whatever he calls himself).

Can't get a bite.

Doesn't it seem strange all this Garuda/ Air New Guinea stuff gets highlighted 24 hours after our PM makes an announcement about Indonesian people smuggling. If you get a job, good for you, but think outside your playpens before you get too excited.

The first post was 18 JUL so even conspiracy theorists get a leg in here.

If London is the Kangaroo Route maybe this could be the "Rudd Route"

Unfortunately, too true !!
Frank, what's the bet the people smugglers are already organizing tinnies in Daru.

I have a 12' DeHavilland with 9.9 Johnson going for $150,000.00 if anybody is interested. Get in before the rush!

On a separate note, is Garuda code sharing with Air New Guinea and who do they code share with? Just asking because Kev was a bit short on detail.

Kina 999.00 return.
Probably more money in a one way ticket.

Cheapest return AUD514.80 and cheapest oneway AUD253.30.

Just don't try going into Indo on a one-way. Works half the time but I suppose a fist full of USDs either end will smooth the way.

IATA fares issue in USDs ex other countries selling ex PNG and indeed Indo as the local currencies are deemed to be too dodgy.

It may be a clever plan by the Baldrick of Australian politics, or is it Kevin Blackadder?

Ship asylum seekers direct from Benoa Harbour to Port Morbid - Damn!! I'm giving him ideas!!

Cheapest possible fare in Kina including taxes sold locally there is PGK1114.20.

Best all

Re the Rudd Root

Has anyone out there ever been canvassed re these opinion polls. I read and watch with interest all these new approval figures for this idiot, and everyone I speak to can't stand the guy, or more importantly have never be contacted for their view on who they would support as preferred PM or primary vote etc.

These BS figures are so misleading.

Sorry for the thread drift.
