Get in
By plane

Lombok International Airport, (Bandara Internasional Lombok) (BIL), IATA: LOP, ICAO: WADL is the only current operational airport in Lombok.

Airport identifier code LOP/AMI
Please note that the IATA code LOP was only formally listed for the Bandara Internasional Lombok in the last week of November 2011.

Up until that time the airlines serving Lombok were all booking and ticketing flights to and from Bandara Internasional Lombok using the previous IATA code AMI, from the now closed Selaparang airport immediately to the north of the city of Mataram/Ampenan.

All flights, however described or ticketed are all most certainly going to the same airport, Bandara Internasional Lombok, regardless of how it is described in the booking systems or on the tickets.


The new airport is located near the city of Praya on Jalan Raya, Tanak Awu Lombok Tengah in central south Lombok and is approximately 40 km south of Mataram, and 55 km southeast of the established Senggigi tourism precinct of West Lombok

    Bali (IATA: DPS) is only a short distance by air (flight time 25 min) with several daily flights by both turboprop and jet powered aircraft. Tickets usually cost Rp 200,000-300,000 for a single journey unless very heavily booked.

Garuda airlines reintroduced services between Bali and Lombok in 2009.
Wings Abadi code share with Lion Air and recommenced Bali to Lombok flights on 6 September 2010 after an extended absence from the route.
Passengers bags may be offloaded without notice by Trigana airlines if the aircraft is over capacity.
Trans Nusa provide services from Bali and onward routes to other destinations in West Nusa Tengara.
Indonesian Air Transport (IAT) provide daily services from Bali to Lombok (operating for Trans Nusa).

There are daily connections to Java including Jakarta (CGK) (flight time 1 hr 50 min-2 hr ) and Surabaya (SUB) (flight time 55-60 min). The direct flights to either Jakarta or Surabaya are a good alternative to the much longer bus/ferry trip via Bali.

Flights to Surabaya are provided by Wings Air (the regional feeder affiliate of Lion Air)and Batavia and are often much cheaper (less than Rp 300,000) than to Jakarta (more than Rp 500,000).

Flights to Jakarta are provided by Lion Air (direct), Garuda (direct), and Batavia (with a scheduled stop in Surabaya SUB).

Flights to the east include services to and from Sumbawa (SWQ) and Bima (BMU)). Eastward bound services are often disrupted and scheduled flights may change or be cancelled at short notice. Some of the eastward destinations may offer slightly better flight frequencies if you fly to Bali first. In December 2011 Sky Aviation introduced scheduled services from Lombok direct to Flores. Sky Aviation suspended operations in April 2014 and did not continue as of yet (August 2015).

International flights are currently limited to direct services from Singapore (SIN) 3 times per week, Perth (PER)4 times per week and daily from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) in Malaysia directly and a different airline with a technical stop in Surabaya in East Java and limited seasonal charter services by Nordwind Airlines to Novosibirsk-Tolmachevo in Russia.

The Perth service is operated by Jetstar. PER-LOP flight number JQ112 Departs PER approx 0930hrs LOP-PER flight number JQ111 departs LOP approx 1410hrs. Flights operate each Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Approximate flight time is 3.5 hrs.

The Singapore service is operated by Silk Air. These flights are code shared with Garuda Airlines and Malaysian Airlines, (flight time 2 hr 45 min) arriving in Lombok on Friday, Thursday and Saturday evenings. The flights arrive and depart at the International terminal.
Garuda offer one-stop connections from Kuala Lumpur (KUL), the Garuda Airlines service is code shared with Malaysian Airlines and is via Jakarta. These flights arrive and depart at the LOP domestic terminal.

AirAsia has 2 daily flights from Kuala Lumpur i.e. AK308 and AK306.

Do

Traditional massage. Local Sasak women offer massage services within the main tourism areas and especially on the beaches in Senggigi and Mangsit. These massages are strictly traditional and therapeutic in nature and are often delivered at the beachside on a primitive platform set up for the service or on a more substantial Beruga possibly inside the grounds of a Hotel. Therapeutic and remedial massage is practised across the island for a wide range of ills and traditional Sasak practitioners are in great demand by people from all walks of life in Lombok.

Snorkelling. There are several good sites between the Gili Islands. If lucky, you can spot and swim with turtles.

Surfing. The area around Kuta is a surfer's paradise.

Scuba Diving. There are several accredited dive centres in Lombok and they provide a wide range of services and packages.

Trekking. There are several good treks around the island, including multi-day hikes up Mount Rinjani Senaru a 3726 m volcano. There are several short treks to see water falls and other island attractions. There are many reputable suppliers of Rinjani climbing packages and services. Adequate forward planning is essential for Rinjani climbs. Rinjani last erupted in May 2010 and the last major eruption was in 1994. Most of the trekking adventures starts either from Sembalun or Senaru

Fishing Charters. Charters either with professionally organised boats or for the intrepid more informal arrangements with local perahu operators on the beaches of Lombok are available for day trips or longer but be cautious that the boats are carrying suitable safety gear and other equipment required for the trip and your personal requirements. Local people are often lost at sea after falling into the water from their perahu whilst fishing.
