Arriving in Papua New Guinea
The flight from Cairns to Port Moresby threw us off guard. The 37-seat Dash 8 turboprop smelled like the third world, a blend of accumulated body odour with a whisper of chemical toilet.
But we were surprised when they handed us our headphones for the in-flight movie: a huge wireless, noise-cancelling Sennheiser beast. The sound quality was excellent and it muffled most of the propeller drone.
