For those who don't know, Air Niugini is the national airline of Papua New Guinea. Its a small airline that calls on a very limited number of ports. Papua New Guinea is a country peopled by tribes who were still in the Stone Age until not too long ago. Bigot that I am, I might be forgiven for expecting a third rate airline, with third rate staff and service, in short a smaller version of Air India. Instead, I found an extremely efficient airline, which always reaches the destination before the scheduled arrival time. Every time I took the airline, they seem to be reaching earlier and earlier. The cabin crew of Air Niugini are exceptionally friendly and pleasant. Even the food isn't all that bad! It's a pity that they only fly to Singapore, Manila, Brisbane and Sydney, and occasionally to Japan because if they flew to India, they would give Air India a run for their money.
