Hotel & Tours Group

On 1st April Garuda Indonesia will commence operation of a daily service between Bali and Lombok.

The flight, GA436 will depart Denpasar, Bali at 1835hrs local time and arrive in Lombok at 1915hrs. The return flight, GA437, will depart Ampenan (Lombok) at 1950hrs and arrive in Bali at 2025hrs.
The flight will operate with a Boeing 737-300series aircraft with 16 Executive Class and 94 Economy Class seats, while a return fare from Bali to Lombok will cost a mere USD50.

Long considered Bali’s “sister” island, Lombok has been slowly growing in popularity with holiday makers seeking a beyond Bali option with a slower pace and a cultural difference. Until now, the lack of convenient and reliable access to Lombok from nearby Bali has inhibited this growth.

With the new service addressing these issues this “alternative Bali” is set to reach new tourism heights.
