Welcome to the PNG Air Airport Transfers page. If your itinerary involves connecting flights—domestic-to-domestic, international-to-domestic, or via other airlines—this guide explains how transfers work, baggage handling, check-in requirements, and the steps you should follow at airport terminals. Use this information to ensure your connection is smooth and stress-free.
PNG Air Domestic Transfers
If your onward flight is also with PNG Air, your checked bags will usually be tagged through to your final destination during the initial check-in. This means you will not need to collect your baggage when transferring between domestic flights.
Upon arrival, simply proceed from the arrival exit at the international terminal, turn right, and follow the covered concourse (approximately 300 metres) to the domestic departures entrance.
From there, pass through security and continue to the check-in counters for your next flight.
International Connections
When arriving on an international flight and connecting to a PNG Air domestic service, please inform our staff of your international arrival when you check in. Depending on airport regulations, you may need to collect your baggage from the international arrivals area and recheck it at the domestic counter before your next flight.
Procedures can vary by airport, so it’s best to confirm baggage handling details with our team during check-in to avoid delays.
Other Airlines to PNG Air
If you arrive on a non-PNG Air flight and connect onward via PNG Air, you will need to collect your checked baggage at your point of transit (if required) and recheck it with PNG Air. Once your bags are checked and you have your new boarding pass, proceed through security to your departure gate. Please ensure you allow sufficient time between flights for baggage retrieval, check-in, and security screening, as these steps can take longer during busy travel periods
Tips & Important Notes
- Connection time matters — always allow enough buffer time for baggage collection, customs, security, and check-in
- Notify staff of your entire itinerary when checking in, especially for international + domestic combinations.
- Confirm baggage handling at check-in: whether your luggage will be transferred automatically or must be collected and rechecked.
- Keep onward flight documents accessible to present to staff during transfer.
- For unusual routing, tight layovers, or special assistance, contact PNG Air Customer Service in advance.
