As the golden afternoon sun began to dip behind the lush hills of Lombok, our WhatsApp pinged with a message from Spain. Alicia Hernández Lopa and her friend Noemí García Rodríguez were about to embark on their long-awaited journey to Gili Air, seeking a seamless transfer from Lombok Airport to the tranquil shores of the Gili Islands. Their excitement was palpable, and from the very first “Hello!” we knew this would be a journey to remember. At LombokBoat.com, we pride ourselves on making every step—from first contact to sandy arrival—effortless, personal, and filled with warmth. This is the story of how we helped Alicia and Noemí experience the magic of a private transfer from Lombok Airport to Gili Air, blending comfort, clarity, and a touch of adventure.
From WhatsApp to Welcome: The Start of a Seamless Journey
Our story began with a simple question: “Hello! My friend and me want to know if you can transfer us from Lombok AirPort to Gili the 13 of July. Our flight arrive at 16:20.” Alicia’s message was friendly and direct, and we responded just as quickly, eager to help. We asked about their luggage—“How many you will bring suitcases and backpacks?”—to ensure the car and speedboat would be perfectly prepared for their needs. Our goal is always to anticipate, not just react.
As the conversation unfolded, Alicia and Noemí’s questions were met with clear, reassuring answers. When they asked, “The price it is per person?” we clarified, “850.000 for 2 people per one way.” Their relief was immediate: “Good. How can we do the Booking? by this way?”
We confirmed, “You can book on WhatsApp here,” and gathered their details—names, email, country, and flight number. Every step was designed to be as simple and transparent as possible, so our guests could focus on the excitement of their upcoming adventure, not the logistics.
Booking Made Effortless: Clarity and Flexibility at Every Step
Once Alicia and Noemí confirmed their details, we sent a booking summary for their private transfer: Airport Lombok to Teluk Nare Port, then a private speedboat to Gili Air. We double-checked every detail, from pickup time to destination, ensuring nothing was left to chance. “Please check your booking detail, that’s correct?” we asked, and their reply was instant: “Perfect, all right 👍🏽.”
Payment was the next step, and we provided a secure link. When Alicia mentioned, “But I don’t have PayPal. Is it necessary to do the payment?” we quickly reassured her: “You can pay with debit or credit card miss.” We understand that travel can be unpredictable, so we always offer flexible solutions. Alicia replied, “Okok, I will do later, I don’t have enough data now, need to wifi so in 2 hours will do.” Our response was simple: “Yes it’s okay miss.”
By the next morning, payment was complete, and we sent a final confirmation. We also asked for a photo of Alicia and Noemí with their bags, making it easier for our driver to spot them at the airport. “When you’re not connected to the Wi-Fi, do you still have internet access?” we inquired, always thinking ahead to ensure smooth communication on the day of travel.
Travel Day: Navigating Delays with Care and Communication
On July 13th, everything was set for a 4:30 PM pickup at Lombok Airport. But as often happens in travel, plans shifted. Alicia messaged, “I wrote him by WhatsApp to tell him the flight is delayed, but he didn’t answer. We are waiting to take it.” Flight delays can be stressful, but our team stayed in close contact, offering reassurance: “Yes, I will waiting your information.”
As updates trickled in—“Now it says 20:00”—we adjusted our plans in real time. Our driver remained on standby, and we kept Alicia and Noemí informed at every step. “We are starting boarding now,” they wrote, and we checked in: “What time is your flight landing?”
Despite the late arrival, our commitment never wavered. At 9:03 PM, Alicia messaged, “We are waiting bags.” We replied, “Okay miss,” and soon after, “Are you already take your bags?” The answer: “Yes. We are with your partner.” Relief and excitement mingled as they finally met our driver, ready for the next leg of their journey.
Private Transfer: Comfort, Convenience, and a Warm Welcome
With luggage in hand, Alicia and Noemí were whisked away in a comfortable, air-conditioned car, leaving the bustle of the airport behind. Our private transfer service from Lombok Airport to Teluk Nare Port is designed for peace of mind—no waiting, no crowds, just a smooth ride through the scenic landscapes of Lombok.
