Flying USA-PNG: The facts on fares
1 refer to Mr Roger Sykes’ letter in PIM April ’B4.
I do believe if Mr Sykes would have checked with the airline or his travel agent, he would have found an agreeable airfare. There are also 30 U.S. tour operators who have on going scheduled tour programs to suit all interests whether it be diving, voyaging, four-wheel drive adventures or as a general tourist, at various price levels.
Papua New Guinea offers much to the world traveller. It is one of the few remaining areas of the world for those seeking a unique travel experience. Air Niugini is available to help any person who would like to visit.
Air Niugini just received, at the International PATA conference, the Gold Award for its four color Adventure Country In formation Brochures on Papua New Guinea, and special men tion for its in-flight magazine Paradise.
The following airfares are available from the USA to Port Moresby. Some restrictions ap ply as is normal of promotional airfares to other world destina tions. Basically, they follow the APEX rules. All are under the lowest price of SUSIBOO Mr Sykes quotes. 1. California to Caims; high $1530, shoulder $l3BO, low $llOO plus $A266 Caims to Port Moresby. 2. California to Port Mores-
by via Brisbane or Sydney: high $1530, shoulder $l3BO, low $1353. 3. California to Nadi to Port Moresby; year round $1350. 4. California to Nadi to Auckland to Port Moresby and choice of either Hong Kong or Singapore at $l2OO one way. 5. Pending approval Califor nia to Auckland to Port Mores by at $1530 high, $l3BO shoul der, low $1353. 6. Honolulu to Port Moresby
for round trip approximately $llOO.
Air Nuigini and the newly established tourist office have a great interest in the promotion of Papua New Guinea. Our office is continually promoting through films, mailings, advertising and workshops for travel agents and the general public. Hopefully the next visit Mr Sykes makes to Papua New Guinea, he will contact our office for update information.
