Flew from Brisbane to Honiara and then on to Munda return. A320 flight to and from Honiara was on time, reasonable wine flowed freely, good food but no IFE (I had an iPad). Possibly the most under-utilised A320 in the world, 10 sectors a week or so. A 10 min walk literally on the road to the domestic terminal with a dodgy luggage trolley and a very hot and humid wait. They are very proud of their new Dash-8, however this ride to Munda was extremely hot. Despite them running one prop for 20 mins before we got on, the plane never cooled down for the 50 min flight. The safety cards proved useful as fans! This multi-stop island hopper flight tends to change its timetable at will - there was a large group going to Munda so we got dropped off first. Leaving, the plane arrived an hour early because the PM came to visit the area so we got to stop at 2 other airstrips on the way. Overall a good experience, generous baggage allowance for diving gear.

Brisbane-Honiara. Check-in a little slow but request for seat changes so our group could sit together handled without fuss. A320 has comfortable seats with good leg room but no IFE despite old style screens throughout the cabin being available. Catering is very basic and catering equipment is old and well used. Toilets clean but are old and smelly. Highlight was the crew who offered drinks throughout the flight, not just responding to requests but proactively out in the cabin for the whole flight. Recommend having breakfast before the flight and bring a book or iPad, but otherwise an enjoyable flight and cheaper than Virgin.

Brisbane-Honiara-Suavanao-Honiara-Brisbane. BNE-HIR-BNE. Nice A320 with more leg room than any other airline I've flown. Service was excellent, nice food, plenty of drinks. Flights on time. Smaller Twin Otter and Britten Norman Islander planes for the domestic flights, both small but comfortable enough, bit noisy though!

BNE-HIR-BNE. BNE connection is operated by Strategic Airlines. Service BNE-HIR-BNE excellent, like a party on board with plenty of food and endless drinks. Luggage allowance flexible. Punctuality quite good. Domestic no service on board - had only one cancellation (due to puncture on remote Island of Gizo). However, hotel and care quickly provided until next morning. Small aircraft on domestic routes noisy.
