Flying with children, families and groups from Lombok to Istanbul

Families fly the Lombok to Istanbul route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Istanbul when you land

Istanbul is the only city that sits on two continents, and its arrivals split the same way: Istanbul Airport (IST) serves the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) the Asian side, with the Bosphorus bridges and the Eurasia Tunnel joining the two halves. The reasons passengers fly from Lombok to Istanbul include Ortaköy Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar. For the first meal, try Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş, baklava and Turkish delight in Karaköy and meze on a Bosphorus terrace.

We offer tours and transfers in Istanbul as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Lombok to Istanbul

Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons; July and August are hot and busy, and winter brings rain, wind off the Bosphorus and the occasional snowfall. Traffic on the bridges is heaviest on weekday evenings. On the flight from Lombok to Istanbul, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Istanbul to Lombok

We book the return leg from Istanbul to Lombok just as easily, generally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Lombok to Istanbul?

The cost of a flight from Lombok to Istanbul depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Lombok to Istanbul: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Lombok to Istanbul is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Lombok to Istanbul that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

How to book flights from Lombok to Istanbul with Haqqi Tours

The easiest way to book a flight from Lombok to Istanbul is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you let us know by WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.

• Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you through WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Istanbul

Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Lombok to Istanbul flight with a transfer from your hotel to Lombok International Airport (Praya, about 20 km from Kuta and 40 km from Mataram) (LOP) and a driver waiting at Istanbul Airport (IST) (IST).

Airlines flying from Lombok to Istanbul

Turkish Airlines, Garuda Indonesia and Batik Air fly the Lombok to Istanbul route, with one stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• Turkish Airlines - Lombok to Istanbul
• Garuda Indonesia - Lombok to Istanbul
• Batik Air - Lombok to Istanbul

Departure: Lombok International Airport (Praya, about 20 km from Kuta and 40 km from Mataram) (LOP)

Your journey starts at Lombok International Airport (Praya, about 20 km from Kuta and 40 km from Mataram) (LOP). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. There is no train and few taxis outside Mataram and Senggigi, and buses run mainly to Mataram; for Kuta, the Gili harbours, Sekotong or Rinjani a private car with driver is far simpler and is the honest choice for families and luggage.

• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Lombok to Lombok International Airport (Praya, about 20 km from Kuta and 40 km from Mataram)
• Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Lombok International Airport (Praya, about 20 km from Kuta and 40 km from Mataram)
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference

Arrival: Istanbul Airport (IST) (IST) and getting into Istanbul

You arrive at Istanbul Airport (IST) (IST). The M11 metro links Istanbul Airport to Gayrettepe and Kağıthane, and the M4 line reaches Sabiha Gökçen; both then need a change and a walk with your bags, and Havaist and Havabüs coaches stop at fixed points rather than hotels. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Istanbul, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Lombok to Istanbul flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Lombok to Istanbul. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
