 Jakarta airport is a city; arriving by hotel bus you get on triple lane roads and at terminal 3 there are entrances for every company and GARUDA is at the last one.
Entrance is large and spacious, and at the Garuda desks check-ins are fast and the staff is very friendly.
Security checks are also fast and the staff is very friendly and professional.
Upon entering the gate area, everything is very spacious and clean with presence of various stores and eateries.…

 Entering the gate area, everything is very spacious and clean with presence of various stores and eateries.
The restrooms are very clean and the staff is really efficient and as soon as you finish using the restrooms they come and clean.
Along the glass windows you can see the planes connected to the fingers.…

After we finished boarding, pushback was made at 11:07 a.m. and after some waiting we took off at 11:20 a.m.


Takeoff was normal with no problems, although I no longer remembered how noisy the 737 was on takeoff and climb. Arriving at cruise altitude nothing to report.


Inevitable is the presence of the in-flight magazine and shopping catalog.

 The service is as always good and we get the meals we chose when we purchased our ticket right away.
They even bring us ice cream….…


The choice of drinks is not much and there is no presence of alcohol, only still water ..no gas


The seats on the 737 are really comfortable!!!
On landing some turbulence due to some clouds present over LOMBOK airport.
I didn't remember turbulence for such “small” planes anymore !!!!
We land at 1:58 p.m. LOMBOK airport has only one runway that also serves as a taxiway, so when we get to the end we turn around to go back to a junction that brings us to the finger at 14:03.


LOP airport has only one runway, and after landing the aero turns back and turns right on the siding to get to the finger where we stop.

Airport is tiny, but quick baggage claim and screening.

Presence of cab stands and phone and internet services.


As soon as you leave the 'airport we are in the presence of the usual crush of cab drivers who want to take you somewhere, but we had someone waiting for us.

  • Ciao, Berry,

    Grazie per questo Flight-Report.

    Guardando la data, pensavo fossi andato per l'evento MotoGP. Ma sei andato un mese dopo? Lombok è uno dei miei posti preferiti in Indonesia, soprattutto perché è la patria del mio piatto di pollo alla griglia preferito al mondo: il famoso Ayam Taliwang.

    Non hai foto del pasto a bordo? Com'era?

    Spero tu abbia passato un bel momento a Lombok. E grazie ancora per aver condivisio!

    • hi,

      I don't have any pictures of the food, I usually don't take them...

      I'll have to do it for the next flights....

      we had a vegetarian meal chosen when buying the ticket and one of the "normal" meals.

      the food is good and they even brought us ice cream...even the good kind.
