Cheap Flights from Jakarta to Port Moresby Starting at $412

Jacksons International Airport (POM) is Port Moresby’s main international gateway and the country’s busiest airport, serving a mix of regional carriers and occasional long-haul flights; it typically handles both full-service and national airlines and can be pricier than smaller domestic-only fields. Located roughly 8–10 km north of the city center, travel time by taxi or rideshare is commonly 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually ranging from modest flat rates to slightly higher amounts for airport pickups; some hotels arrange transfers. Ground links are limited to taxis, hotel shuttles and rental cars, so expect basic but functional facilities with straightforward immigration and baggage handling. Pros: convenient for international connections and central access; cons: services can be utilitarian, and options for public transport are sparse, so budget travelers should plan transfers in advance.

Jakarta is served primarily by Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK), the country’s main international gateway and a busy hub for full-service carriers and major low-cost airlines alike. Located about 20–25 km northwest of central Jakarta, CGK typically takes 30–90 minutes to reach by car depending on traffic; airport rail and shuttle services generally take 45–60 minutes, while taxis and ride-hailing fares can vary widely. For domestic and some low-cost flights, Halim Perdanakusuma Airport (HLP) lies closer to the city — roughly 10–15 km southeast — with transfers often taking 20–50 minutes and usually costing less in fares. Soekarno–Hatta is usually perceived as the better-equipped international hub with more lounges and amenities, but can be crowded and affected by heavy traffic to and from the city; Halim can offer quicker access for eastern and rescheduled domestic services, though facilities may be simpler and flight options more limited.
