Virgin Blue Loves Expansions: This Week It's PNG

Australian-based budget airline Virgin Blue is exploding its flight coverage and has just announced a deal that's going to see low cost carriers flying into relatively untapped market Papua New Guinea.

In a slightly confusing collaboration with Pacific Blue and Airlines PNG, Virgin Blue is offering four return flights a week between Brisbane and Port Moresby, starting from November. They're starting out with sale fares of A$249 ($200) and the regular budget price will stay under A$300 (one-way).

That's cheap enough to see a lot more tourist interest in Papua New Guinea, we reckon. Bring on Elvis and the giant rats: We're off to PNG.
