Kolkata to Lombok Flights

The Kolkata to Lombok air route connects Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) to Lombok (LOP). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 6 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Kolkata and Lombok. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Kolkata to Lombok for its beautiful beaches and relaxed atmosphere, a contrast to the bustling city of Kolkata. Lombok offers a mix of adventure tourism and cultural experiences, similar to Bali but less crowded.

Best time to fly

The dry season, from May to September, is the best time to visit Lombok. The weather is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and surfing during these months. Avoid the monsoon season from October to April due to heavy rainfall.

Getting from the airport to Lombok

Lombok International Airport (LOP) is located about 40 km from Mataram city center. Taxis are readily available at the airport, with fares to Mataram costing around IDR 150,000 to IDR 200,000. DAMRI buses also operate from the airport to various destinations in Lombok at a lower cost.

Things to do in Lombok

Mount Rinjani: Trek to the summit of this active volcano for stunning views. Tanjung Aan Beach: Relax on the white sands and swim in the turquoise waters. Senggigi: Explore the restaurants and nightlife of Lombok's main tourist hub. Sasak Village: Visit a traditional village to experience the local culture and architecture.

Food to try

Local tips

Bargain respectfully when shopping at local markets, as prices are often negotiable. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Be aware that Lombok is predominantly Muslim, so alcohol may not be as readily available as in Bali.
