Why starting your island escape from Praya makes sense

A gateway that balances island ease with big city access

Lombok International Airport LOP expansion

Lombok International Airport (IATA LOP ICAO WADL) sits just outside Praya, so reaching it is straightforward for locals and visitors based around central and southern Lombok. After the runway extension and terminal expansion in 2022, the airport handles more passengers and flights more efficiently, which makes cheap flights from Praya easier to find across the calendar.

From LOP, travelers typically connect nonstop to Jakarta, Surabaya, and Denpasar for onward domestic and long haul choices, and there are regional links to Kuala Lumpur and occasionally Singapore for wider Asia connections. The mix of domestic corridors and regional gateways means you can plan weekend flights from Praya or build longer multi stop trips without backtracking. The airport atmosphere is friendly and compact, but do expect busier queues in peak travel periods. That island ease plus solid connectivity is why many travelers start their journeys right here rather than detouring to bigger airports further away.
