Good to know

  • Flights to Wamena usually leave in the morning — mountain weather often closes in by afternoon, so early departures are the most reliable.
  • Baggage limits on highland routes are strict and extra kilos can be expensive — weigh your bags before leaving for Sentani.
  • Sentani Airport is about 40 km from Jayapura city, near the town of Sentani itself — plan your transfer the night before an early flight.
  • Seats to the highlands sell out around holidays and festival season in the Baliem Valley — book as early as you can.
