GARUDA AIRLINES

Certainly one of the best companies to go to Lombok from Bali. Their website is very easy to use and you will be able to easily access schedules, fares, and book your flight. As with all flights, we advise you to book a little in advance to get the best prices. Also many flights to all Asia from Jakarta in particular.
GILI BOOKINGS

PELNI
Read moreYou can go directly to the port to buy your tickets the same day (a good hour in advance anyway...) or the day before. The ferry leaves every day at 8am for Sape on Sumbawa. It will take you 8 hours to reach your destination.
From Sumba, at the port of Pelabuhan Waekelo, ferry departures are on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, we advise you to check timetables and any changes a few days in advance... Many things can change for incomprehensible reasons...
