Airlines & Flights - Bali / Lombok

The following links will take you to the web-sites of most of the major airlines that fly into Denpasar, Bali and Selaparang, Lombok (please note, unless you have a prearranged stamped visa, you can not enter Indonesia through Lombok).

Perhaps you would like to fly in style with someone like Air Singapore, where even economy class passengers can enjoy leg rests, individual tv screens, complimentary champagne and haute cuisine. Or maybe you would prefer the exceptionally keen rates and friendly Indonesian service of Garuda. We even have listed the local seaplane company that can fly you to Flores or Komodo, or even your beach front hotel with a bit of a splash!!

Whatever your needs, there is an airline especially out there for you. And remember, if you are travelling from North America or Europe, you may want to find out what stopovers there are. These can be tiring if you just want to get to Paradise as quickly as possible. On the other hand, they can bring welcome relief to smokers, as most Bali flights are now non-smoking. Or they can be used to spend a few nights somewhere else en route, like Thailand or Singapore. Flights & Airlines

Airline Ticket Agencies

Now you know, perhaps, which airline you'd prefer to travel with, it's time to get the lowest fare! Many newspapers, especially weekend editions, carry a number of low cost ads. There are also Internet agents (often the same companies that advertise in newspapers), some of which are listed below. Normally, you can buy an airline ticket through an agent for a lot less money than you can through the airline itself. In most cases, there are no additional risks, providing the agent is a member of IATA, which guarantees your ticket / moneys paid. However, you should be aware tickets sold through agents often have much less flexibility if you decide you need to cancel or change it in any way - so ask the questions and be sure you are not going to change your mind!

Another point worth remembering is that agents may offer you a combination ticket. That is a ticket that uses 2 or more airlines to get you there (e.g. It is quite common for British travellers to be offered a British Airways flight to Jakarta via Kuala Lumpur, with a Garuda connection then on to Denpasar). Although baggage transfer is (hopefully) automatic, you may want to evaluate just how much time you will be spending on the ground etc. This aside, the savings a little flexibility on your part can attract, often speak for themselves! Now here are those ticket agents you were promised:
