No, but it's probably the best. I've flown Air Niugini from Cairns to
Moresby 20 or 30 times. Not a bad flight. And you can find worse
places than Cairns to be in transit.

Be sure to get a codeshare which are operated by Qantas. Baggage
delivery on Air Niugini is hit or miss. We had ours randomly unloaded
from an internal to PNG AN flight when they decided the plane was
overweight.

You may have had bad luck, but I've used Air Niguini many times and
never had a problem. Can't say the same about Qantas.
