Lombok Flights and Tickets: The Complete Guide to Routes and How to Book

Information as of August 2026

This guide reflects information as of August 2026. For the basics of the island as a whole, see our complete guide to Lombok; for the route comparison from Bali, see how to get from Bali to Lombok. This article goes one step further and focuses only on how to buy your flight ticket. Routes, baggage rules and fares change, so always check each airline’s official website right before you book. Airport-side information is in our Lombok International Airport guide.

Quick guide: which kind of ticket to choose first

Tickets to Lombok fall into four broad patterns. In every case you change planes somewhere on the way.

← Scroll the table sideways

Option	Route	Final flight to Lombok	Best for
Via Bali (connect in Denpasar)	Your departure airport → Denpasar (DPS) → Lombok (LOP)	About 50 minutes to 1 hour (varies by aircraft)	People who also want to see Bali, or who feel nervous about connecting for the first time
Via Jakarta	Your departure airport → Jakarta (CGK) → Lombok (LOP)	About 1 hour 45 minutes	People who want a full-service airline, or who have other business in Jakarta
Via Kuala Lumpur (low-cost carriers)	Your departure airport → Kuala Lumpur (KUL) → Lombok (LOP)	Flight time not confirmed in our sources	People keeping costs down, or travelling light
Via Singapore	Your departure airport → Singapore (SIN) → Lombok (LOP) (Scoot nonstop)	About 2 hours 45 minutes	People who want to keep it to a single connection, or who want a stopover in Singapore

* As of August 2026. Always check official websites for the latest information.

Where this guide says “final flight”, the times are official flight times for that last leg only. Your total journey time and fare depend on where you start, so we haven’t given a single figure. Fares vary widely with fuel surcharges, exchange rates, season, airline and how early you book, and there is no officially published list price. Please check the exact fare on each airline’s official site right before you book.

On the Singapore route, Scoot’s official website lists the SIN–LOP flight time as about 2 hours 45 minutes (as of August 2026). Add your flight to Singapore and the connection wait, and you have a workable estimate for the whole trip.

Fares on domestic sectors (such as Denpasar–Lombok) can differ several times over depending on season and airline. That is a rough impression rather than a figure confirmed against official sources, so check the actual price on each airline’s booking page.

Routes and airlines serving Lombok International Airport (Praya Airport)

Lombok International Airport (LOP, commonly known as Praya Airport) is in the south of the island and handles both domestic and international flights. Routes change often at the airlines’ discretion. The following is what we could confirm in route data as of August 2026. Before you book, check each airline’s website or the airport’s official site (lombok-airport.co.id) for the latest.

Domestic flights (within Indonesia)

← Scroll the table sideways

Route	Main airlines	Notes
Denpasar (DPS, Bali)	TransNusa, Wings Air	Flight time is about 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the aircraft. Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air and AirAsia Indonesia were previously listed as serving this route, but we could not confirm them in the August 2026 route data
Jakarta (CGK, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport)	Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Batik Air, Citilink, Super Air Jet, Pelita Air, TransNusa	The route to and from Lombok with the most airlines (as of August 2026). Flight time is around 1 hour 45 minutes
Surabaya (SUB)	Citilink, Lion Air, Super Air Jet	Used for access from East Java
Yogyakarta (YIA)	Super Air Jet	Often used when combining Lombok with a trip around Java
Others (Labuan Bajo, Bima, Sumbawa, Waingapu (WGP), Tambolaka (TMC), Banyuwangi, Balikpapan, Makassar and more)	Wings Air, Super Air Jet, Lion Air	Routes used for touring eastern Indonesia. They open and close often, so always check the current schedule before you leave

* Information as of August 2026. Always check official websites for the latest.

Jakarta has two airports: Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) and Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP). In the August 2026 route data, Lombok flights are mainly at CGK. Domestic services do sometimes switch airports, though, so always check the airport code (CGK or HLP) on the booking screen. CGK and HLP are separate airports in the same city, and moving between them means crossing Jakarta.

International flights

← Scroll the table sideways

Route	Main airlines
Kuala Lumpur (KUL, Malaysia)	AirAsia, Batik Air, Lion Air
Singapore (SIN)	Scoot (nonstop flights available)

* Information as of August 2026. Always check official websites for the latest.

AirAsia officially announced a Perth (Australia)–Lombok route in June 2019. However, we couldn’t confirm any Perth flights in the August 2026 route data. Lombok’s international routes open and close from time to time, so always check whether a route is actually flying a few weeks before you travel.

Realistic connection patterns to Lombok

For most visitors, reaching Lombok means connecting somewhere. The four realistic gateways are shown below.

Figure: Four ways to connect to Lombok (LOP)

* Flight times shown are for the final leg into Lombok (as of August 2026). The KUL–LOP flight time is not stated in our sources, so we have left it out. Routes change, so check each airline’s official site before you book.

① Via Bali (connect in Denpasar)
Once you reach Denpasar (DPS), you connect to a domestic flight to Lombok on TransNusa or Wings Air. Many people spend a night in Bali before moving on, and this is the route with the lowest hurdle when connecting feels daunting.

② Via Jakarta
Jakarta has the widest choice of airlines to Lombok: Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Batik Air, Citilink, Super Air Jet, Pelita Air and TransNusa all serve the route (as of August 2026). It suits people who have business in Jakarta, or who want to travel on a full-service airline on a single ticket.

③ Via Kuala Lumpur (mostly low-cost carriers)
From Kuala Lumpur, AirAsia flies nonstop to Lombok (KUL–LOP), and Batik Air and Lion Air are also listed on the route. Using low-cost carriers keeps fares down, but baggage and through check-in need the care described below.

④ Via Singapore
Scoot flies nonstop from Singapore to Lombok (SIN–LOP). In an official release dated 9 April 2026, Scoot announced that it would increase Singapore–Lombok from 4 to 10 flights a week from June 2026. Because the Singapore–Lombok leg is a single flight, this is the route that most easily keeps you to one connection, and it is also easy to build in a stopover in Singapore.

All of these patterns have one thing in common: the international leg and the domestic leg are often bought from different airlines, on different bookings (except where one international ticket covers the whole trip, as with Scoot’s nonstop in ④). That leads straight into the next section, on through tickets versus separate purchases.

Through tickets versus separate tickets: what’s the difference?

Even for the same connection, how you buy it changes the risk considerably.

With a through ticket (one booking reference)

• Your bag can often be checked through to the final destination (Lombok) at your departure airport
• If your first flight is late and you miss the connection, the airline is likely to look after you under “passenger protection”, such as rebooking you on a later flight or arranging a hotel
• This applies only to airline combinations that have an interline or codeshare agreement

If you buy separately (for example, an international ticket to Denpasar and a Denpasar–Lombok domestic ticket booked separately on different sites)

• You collect your bag and check it in again yourself at the connecting airport, which means allowing time for moving between terminals, immigration and re-check-in
• If the first flight is delayed or cancelled, the airline has no responsibility for the next flight on a separate ticket. If you miss it, you buy the next flight again at your own cost
• You have more freedom in mixing fares, and it is often cheaper

Figure: How a through ticket and separate tickets differ on baggage and delays

* Our rule of thumb is to allow at least 3 hours for a connection, and ideally an overnight stop. The right connection time varies by route, airport and time of day.

So if you buy separately purely because it is cheaper, you take on the risk that a single delay leaves you unable to reach Lombok that day. Delays from weather or aircraft rotations are not unusual on Indonesian domestic flights, so we suggest allowing at least 3 hours for the connection and, if you can, avoiding a same-day connection by staying overnight. This is our own rule of thumb, and the right connection time varies by route, airport and time of day.

Baggage rules differ by airline on Indonesian domestic low-cost carriers

The low-cost carriers commonly used on domestic and short-haul international flights to Lombok each have their own free checked baggage rules. The assumption that “even low-cost carriers give you about 20kg free” no longer holds in Indonesia today. If you book on old information, you may face unexpected extra charges at the airport.

Figure: Free checked baggage on domestic budget flights is 0kg or 10kg

* Based on what we could confirm from airline websites as of August 2026. US$ figures are approximate, using US$1 ≈ Rp17,800 (September 2026). Exceptions exist by fare type and route, so always make a final check on the booking screen.

Airline	Free checked baggage (standard economy fare)	Cabin baggage	Notes
Lion Air	10kg	7kg	Applies to bookings bought or changed on or after 17 July 2025. 10kg on both domestic and international flights (Lion Air official release)
Wings Air	Effectively none (0kg); assume so	7kg	Lion Group officially states that “routes operated only by propeller aircraft have no free checked baggage allowance (0kg)”. Wings Air flies ATR propeller aircraft, so the safe approach is to book assuming checked bags are paid
Super Air Jet	About 10kg as a guide	About 7kg as a guide	It was reported to have made a similar change at the same time as Lion Air, but we could not confirm the kg figure on Super Air Jet’s own official page. Always check on the booking screen
AirAsia (Indonesia domestic, QZ)	Not included in the standard fare (0kg). Prepaying 20kg costs Rp259,000 (about US$14.50)	Check on the booking screen	Confirmed from AirAsia’s official domestic fee table (updated 20 July 2026). Buying after booking or at an airport kiosk raises the price of 20kg to Rp285,000 (about US$16)
AirAsia (international)	Not included in the standard fare; you must buy extra	Check on the booking screen	AirAsia officially says higher-tier products such as Value Pack include checked baggage, but the kg figure could not be confirmed on the official page
Batik Air	Varies by fare class. Check on the booking screen	Check on the booking screen	The official help page defines the free baggage allowance (FBA) only and gives no kg figures by fare class. Note that the cheapest fares may include no checked baggage at all

* Airline routes and baggage rules can change. Always make a final check on the booking screen.

The above is what we could confirm as of August 2026; promotions and individual routes may be exceptions. Before you complete a booking, always check the screen that shows the baggage allowance for each fare type.

Extra baggage is reliably cheaper if you buy it when you book than at the airport. On AirAsia’s Indonesian domestic flights, prepaying 20kg costs Rp259,000 (about US$14.50), whereas the same 20kg bought after booking or at an airport kiosk costs Rp285,000 (about US$16) (AirAsia official fee table, updated 20 July 2026). With Lion Air group airlines, you can buy prepaid baggage in 5kg steps (5 to 30kg) up to 6 hours before departure, and weight beyond the free allowance plus prepaid allowance incurs separate excess charges (Lion Air official). Excess-baggage rates at the airport counter differ by route, and no single flat rate is published on the official pages. If your trip involves diving gear or souvenirs that tend to add weight, choosing a fare with baggage from the start usually works out cheaper overall.

* US$ figures are approximate, based on US$1 ≈ Rp17,800 (September 2026).

Choosing where to book: airline websites, local OTAs and Google Flights

① Each airline’s official website
You may be able to combine connecting flights into one booking, and it is easier to get help rebooking if there is a delay. Low-cost carriers’ sites are often in English and Indonesian only. Paying on an airline website can involve 3-D Secure verification and similar steps, so do it when you have plenty of time.

② Local OTAs such as Traveloka
Traveloka is one of the largest booking sites in Indonesia, with a wide range of domestic low-cost carriers. Its terms and refund handling follow Indonesian consumer protection standards. Enquiries can take time when something goes wrong, so book with time to spare, and always save the payment-complete screen and the confirmation email.

③ Google Flights
Useful for comparing prices and schedules, but you can’t buy on it. You are passed on to the airline’s site or an OTA to complete the booking. The practical approach is to treat it as a tool for finding cheap combinations.

Whichever you use, the keys to avoiding mistakes are to make the name on the booking match your passport exactly and to check the fare type (whether baggage is included) on the confirmation screen before you pay.

Figure: Five steps from booking to boarding

1

Compare your options

Compare prices and schedules on Google Flights or similar. You can’t buy there, so you will end up on the airline’s site or an OTA.

2

Check the fare type (is baggage included?)

On the confirmation screen before paying, always check whether checked baggage is included in the fare.

3

Match the name to your passport

Even one letter out can cause trouble.

4

Pay

Payment on overseas sites can involve 3-D Secure verification and similar steps, so do it when you have time to spare.

5

Save the confirmation email and payment screen

Keep them in case you need to contact support, especially with local OTAs, where enquiries can take time.

When fares are high and when they’re low

Fares on domestic and international flights to Lombok are not constant through the year. What follows is a tendency, not a fixed price.

• Dry-season peak (July–August, and the year-end holidays): More overseas travellers arrive at this time, and fares tend to climb unless you book early.
• Around Lebaran (Eid al-Fitr, Indonesia’s biggest homecoming season): Demand on Indonesian domestic flights concentrates, and fares tend to spike and flights sell out. For Lebaran in March 2026, it was reported that the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) responded to rising fares on major routes by adding extra flights on congested routes. Lebaran follows the Islamic calendar and moves about 11 days earlier each year; in 2027 it is expected to fall around early to mid March, but check the Indonesian government’s holiday announcement (SKB) for exact dates. If you plan to travel in this period, booking earlier than usual is essential.
• Weekdays in the rainy season (December–March): Outside the peaks above, this is generally considered a relatively easy time to find seats.

Prices are only a guide, and we can’t be definitive. We recommend comparing several dates and several sites right before you book.

Rainy season
Relatively easy to book

* Prices are only a guide and we can’t be definitive (as of August 2026). We recommend comparing several dates and sites right before you book.

What to do if a flight is delayed or cancelled

The safe approach is to plan on the assumption that Indonesian domestic flights are prone to delays caused by weather (squalls and strong winds) and aircraft rotations.

• When you notice a delay: Check the latest status on the airline’s app, the web check-in screen or the airport departure board. Notifications by SMS or email may come, but depending on the contact details and country code you registered they may not arrive, so check for yourself rather than relying on alerts.
• If a cancellation or long delay means you miss your connection: With a through ticket, ask the airline’s counter to arrange a replacement flight. If you bought separately, contact the airline for the sector you missed directly; if there is a seat, you may be able to rebook for a fee, and if not you will have to buy a flight for the next day or later.
• Refunds and compensation: How delay and cancellation compensation works on Indonesian domestic flights differs by airline, so don’t assume you will be compensated. We suggest building a schedule that does not tie an important commitment (your first night’s accommodation, a booked tour) directly to a same-day connection.

Figure: Three steps when a flight is delayed or cancelled

How to think about minimum connection time

“Minimum connection time” (MCT) is the shortest time an airport or airline officially sets, below which it does not guarantee a connection. On a single booking (a through ticket), the system will generally not sell you a connection shorter than the MCT. If you buy separately, though, that guarantee doesn’t apply at all, so you have to build in more time than the MCT yourself.

Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) in particular has separate terminals for international and domestic flights, so you need to allow for the time between terminals. If you connect to a flight from Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP), CGK and HLP are separate airports, so the trip crosses Jakarta and the time it takes varies greatly with traffic.

As a guide, allow at least 2 hours for a connection within the same airport, and at least 3 to 4 hours when changing airports. This is our own rule of thumb, not an official MCT, so check the actual time required with the airline.

Things to be aware of, and downsides

• Delays and cancellations on low-cost carriers tend to cluster in busy periods, and replacement flights can be full
• On the cheapest fares, checked baggage may not be included at all, and buying it at the airport is expensive
• With local OTAs, enquiries can take time when something goes wrong
• After you land at Lombok International Airport, allow roughly another 1 hour 10 minutes by road to reach our village in Sekotong (it varies with road conditions and time of day). For onward transport from the airport, see our Lombok International Airport guide, and for costs, our guide to Lombok’s costs and prices

Which one suits you

• Nervous about connecting for the first time, or want to enjoy Bali too → via Bali (connect in Denpasar)
• Travelling light and putting cost first → low-cost carrier via Kuala Lumpur
• Have other business in Jakarta, or want the reassurance of a full-service airline on one ticket → via Jakarta
• Want to keep it to one connection, or stop over in Singapore → via Singapore (Scoot nonstop)
• Whichever you choose, the common defences in busy periods (dry-season peak, around Lebaran) are to book early and leave generous connection times
