When traveling to Lombok, you have different options to consider: 1. Public Ferries: Lombok has two main ports for public ferries. Labuhan Lombok, located on the mid east coast, provides connections from Sumbawa. Tanjung Lembar, situated in the southwest, is Lombok's main port, handling small freighters, fishing boats, and combination vehicle and passenger ferries from Bali. - Alat Strait: Ferries from Pototano, Sumbawa to Labuhan Lombok operate 18 times per day. - Lombok Strait: Ferries from Padangbai, Bali to Lembar Lombok run once every hour. These ferries are crucial for road transport movement, allowing sea-borne passengers and private cars to travel to and from Lombok. However, disruptions can occur due to breakdowns or heavy seas. 2. Lombok International Airport: Lombok International Airport (IATA: LOP, ICAO: WADL) is located in south central Lombok, southwest of Praya. This airport offers modern and extensive facilities for both domestic and international flights. It can accommodate wide-bodied aircraft and has cargo facilities available.
