Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.

PNG isn't covered by most international roaming bundles, so an eSIM or local Digicel/bmobile SIM is worth arranging in advance if you need reliable data — don't plan around the terminal Wi-Fi.

Insider tip

Coverage is limited and connections are reported as unreliable in both terminals. You need to get login details in person from the NAC Information Desk in the departures lounge (bring your boarding pass and ID/passport), so it's not a quick self-service connection.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.
