Good to know

  • Nadzab Airport is about 40 km from Lae city — allow around an hour for the road transfer into town.
  • Morning flights are popular with business travellers; mid-day departures are often easier to get seats on.
  • Domestic checked baggage allowances are usually smaller than international ones — check the allowance shown on your fare before you pack.
  • Weather in the Markham Valley can cause afternoon delays, so book an earlier flight if you have a same-day connection.
