Bring kina before you land: Wapenamanda typically has no exchange counters and just one sometimes‑spotty ATM in the tiny terminal. For better rates and fewer fees, withdraw in Port Moresby or at a bank in nearby Wabag, then carry small notes for taxis and markets.
Looking for duty‑free bargains? Wapenamanda doesn’t have any, so plan your spirits, perfume, and chocolate shopping for your connection in Port Moresby, where prices often beat city stores by 10–25%. On the ground here, expect only a small kiosk for snacks and essentials that opens around flight times.
Two small outlets keep you fed with Highlands coffee, pies, and simple plates—one before security, one in the departures lounge, typically open around flight times. Expect airport‑standard markups: coffee PGK 8–12, snacks PGK 5–12, and meals PGK 25–45, a bit higher than in Wabag or town.
Need a quick check or a bandage? Friendly staff in the compact terminal can help with basic first aid during daytime flight hours, while full-service pharmacies and clinics are a short road trip away in Wabag; basic help is free, medicines and tests are paid.
Small and straightforward, Wapenamanda’s terminal doesn’t have lockers, but staff can sometimes arrange short-term holding near the check-in desks, and local hotels will keep bags for longer stops. Bring photo ID, expect modest cash fees (around PGK 10–20 per day), and plan around flight-time opening hours.
Simple comforts and a calm pace: two small waiting areas—one before security and one in the departure hall—offer clean seating, a few power points and a kiosk when flights operate. There’s no dedicated business lounge or 24‑hour service, but it’s an easy, low‑stress spot to recharge between highlands hops.

Address
Wapenamanda Airport, Wapenamanda, Enga Province, Papua New Guinea
Wapenamanda Airport (WBM) is a small regional airport in Enga Province that opened in the mid-20th century and today operates from a single modest terminal serving domestic passengers. As the main airstrip for the Wapenamanda district, it plays an important role connecting remote highlands communities to larger hubs like Mount Hagen and Port Moresby via scheduled domestic flights and charter services. Ground access is by local roads with limited public transport and taxi options, so travelers often arrange transfers in advance. Not a major airline hub, it is served by Papua New Guinea carriers such as PNG Air and Air Niugini; fares are generally affordable for short domestic hops but can be higher than in larger markets due to limited competition.
