Suggestions

If you are travelling interstate, it may be a good idea to arrive the day before your International flight (International flights to Port Moresby depart from Brisbane, Cairns and Sydney).  Sometimes there is not enough time to catch both Domestic and an International flight on the same morning.  Our treks need to run to our date and time schedule, if you miss your flight to Papua New Guinea you will miss your trek.  Unfortunately we are unable to delay trek departure.  Something to think about!

Wear your boots on the plane and bring essential items in your carry on luggage.  Bags do go missing; bags can be left back in Australia.  If you have got your boots, medical supplies and some personal items with you and your bag goes missing, then you still have your basic requirements to trek.
