Port Moresby's Jacksons International (POM) runs one headline lounge: the Air Niugini Paradise Lounge, airside on Level 2 of the international terminal near the departure gates, with shower facilities and complimentary Wi-Fi - genuinely useful before the long hops to Australia and Asia. Access follows airline rules: Air Niugini business class, Executive Club members, and Qantas Gold or Platinum plus oneworld Sapphire and Emerald frequent flyers are admitted, and pay-at-door entry has been reported at roughly 100 to 150 kina (around 25 to 40 US dollars) - treat that as indicative and confirm at the desk. Independent programs are weak here: Priority Pass has been reported as of little practical use at POM, so plan around the airline route or the paid door rate rather than a membership app.
