Mount Kimbe
Visible immediately after takeoff, this dormant volcano provides a dramatic farewell to the New Britain landscape.
Solomon Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses from New Britain to the Papua New Guinea mainland.
Mount Victoria
The highest peak of the Owen Stanley Range, often rising majestically above the cloud layer at 4,038 meters.
Kokoda Track
Views of the steep, jungle-clad ridges and valleys where the historic and grueling trek winds its way toward Port Moresby.
Port Moresby Skyline
A clear view of the city's central business district and the growing urban landscape during the final approach.
To see the Owen Stanley Range clearly, book a morning flight; by noon, the peaks are often obscured by thick tropical clouds. The left side is essential for spotting the highest mountain peaks on this route. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Popondetta.

A striking volcanic peninsula stretching into the Bismarck Sea, featuring several distinct calderas and craters.
Mainland Rainforest
Dense, untouched primary rainforest stretching across the northern slopes of the mainland's mountain ranges.
Knife-Edge Ridges
Sharp, dramatic mountain spines that characterize the rugged and inaccessible interior of the country.
Fairfax Harbour
The large, protected natural harbor that serves as the gateway to the Port Moresby industrial and shipping zones.
Papuan Barrier Reef
Beautiful turquoise coral reef systems visible along the southern coast just before landing at Jacksons International.
