Stillwater Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Relaxed this flight out of Port Moresby/Jacksons will be, as it is not heading towards a bushstrip. And with an airliner instead of these all-terrain-props. However, the PNG scenery is always worth a visit! Just as the Great Barrier Reef along the Queensland coast is. Though... not in all seasons... ... and maybe better not in January. Landing in Cairns is stressless in all weather conditions, ... ... but why did they assign Cebu Pacific Airlines to "Domestic"? Perhaps this is the way to bypass Immigration controls even without carrying a tennis racket. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Always love flying into Cairns, nicely done Gerold. The weather does indeed look a little on the grey and wet side, but then that can make things more interesting, right? Another fun leg of your adventure with some great screenies!

Landon Thank you Landon. With an airliner I accept this grey & rainy conditions, while I would think of a little manipulation for a low&slow flight. And it would also be nice to have the option to manipulate weather in real life travels as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If t´s a controllable winter and everything works as needed, snow is fine. But if infrastructure collapsed, and you´d need to move, then it´d be awful. Keep my fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
