Port Moresby - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?
The United States. The trip to post is between 36 and 59 hours from Washington, DC. The average itinerary takes three days. It is rather difficult to travel to and within this country. While there are many flights connecting the United States to countries with direct connections to Papua New Guinea (Australia, Philippines, Singapore, etc.), an overnight in one of those countries is usually required in either direction to make your connection. And the trans-Pacific flights are long. - Aug 2025
