How to book flights Bali to Lombok?

Hi again !

I decided to spend a few days in Lombok but can't find flights between Bali and Lombok. Garuda seems not to allow me to book it online...

Can anyone please tell me how should I do?

Thanks in advance

Everyone I know who has done it has booked from Bali, or has had their Lombok Hotel buy tickets for them. Bob and Karen found that Qunci Villas would book the tickets for them. Your Bali hotel could probably make the arrangements for you as well. I don't think Garuda flies this route, it's some of the smaller airlines that do.

When we went to Lombok, we flew from Singapore to Lombok non-stop on Silk Air.

Garuda does now fly between Denpasar and Mataram. It's a relatively new route for them. The Merpati flights are more frequent.

I concur that asking your resort (on either end) to make your reservations is the simplest approach. Just be aware that flight schedules change dramatically so it's difficult to plan too far in advance. If you ask your hotel to purchase a ticket for you, make sure that you understand the penalities for cancellation or change.

After I posted here I discovered Merpati has flights with better schedules than Garuda, for 50 euros r/t and it seems I can book them online.

Isn't this a better option? My only problem is that I don't know if the airline has safety records.... Has anyone used them?

I've lived in Indonesia for 15 years and have never heard of a problem on the Bali-Lombok route.
