## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Treat Aiome as a remote bush strip; bring all your own essentials, as there's nothing available on site.
- _Quiet_: The chance for unobstructed photography of the Ramu Valley is a highlight—just step off the plane and snap away.
- _Time_: Weather here is unpredictable. Plan a buffer day for flights and avoid cutting it close with international connections via Port Moresby.
- _Local_: Engage with impromptu markets if they appear—it's a chance to buy local handicrafts and fresh produce.
- _Money_: Carry PNG kina in small notes for any local transactions, as there are no ATMs.
- _Avoid_: Heavy or hard-sided luggage can cause problems; expect strict weight enforcement on small aircraft like Cessnas.
- _Time_: Remember that runway conditions can delay or cancel flights—always be prepared to wait out bad weather.
