Air Niugini staff travel & standby

Pre-listing is required on every Air Niugini flight, and staff travellers without a listing are refused travel.

• ZED e-ticket bought in myIDTravel and issued by Air Niugini (656 ticket stock): you are listed automatically when you book.
• ZED e-ticket issued by your own airline (not 656 stock), bought in myIDTravel or through your Staff Travel Office: you need to request a listing by email.

To list by email:

1. Write to [email protected]. The office works Monday to Friday, 0800–1700 POM local time (GMT +10), and is closed on weekends and public holidays.
2. Include your name, staff ID number and date of employment; ticket number; travel dates; routing; flight numbers; passenger details (passport details, relationship, and date of birth for children and infants); and your email address and mobile number with the country code.
3. Once you are listed, your travel itinerary and e-ticket(s) are emailed to you.
4. Print the itinerary and e-ticket(s) and bring them to the airport check-in counter together with your airline ID card and valid passport.
