Arriving in a new country can be both exhilarating and a little daunting, especially after a long flight. For Jelena Ann Engelhard, a solo traveler from Germany, her journey from Lombok International Airport to the tranquil shores of Gili Air was about to become a seamless adventure. From the very first WhatsApp message, Jelena’s story with us at LombokBoat.com unfolded as a testament to our commitment to making every transfer to the Gili Islands smooth, personal, and memorable. Her experience highlights how easy it is to arrange a fast boat to Gili and private transport, even when traveling alone, and how our team’s warmth and flexibility turn a simple transfer into a welcoming introduction to Lombok’s hospitality.
From WhatsApp Inquiry to Confirmed Booking: A Personalized Approach
Jelena reached out to us via WhatsApp, her message clear and friendly: she was landing in Lombok the next day and needed a transfer from the airport to Gili Air. She asked, “Is it better for you if I book online or just reserve here and pay tomorrow in cash?” We love these kinds of questions because they give us the chance to show how flexible and accommodating our service is.
Our response was immediate and detailed. We asked for her flight number, clarified the payment process, and explained, “We use private service, and when the car arrives at the harbour, you can directly cross to Gili Air.” Jelena appreciated the clarity, replying, “Sounds good! I travel alone. The flight number is TR 258.”
We reassured her that our tiket kapal from Lombok is always private—no waiting for other passengers, no unnecessary delays. Jelena’s relief was clear: “Okay, that’s even better :)”
Clear Communication and Hassle-Free Booking
Throughout our chat, we made sure every detail was confirmed. We sent her a summary of the booking:
- Pick up: Lombok International Airport (LOP), International Terminal
- Flight: Scoot TR 258, ETA 16:10 PM
- Drop off: Harbour of Gili Air
- Meeting Point: In front of KFC at Lombok Airport
Jelena mentioned she might be a few minutes late as she needed to get some cash. Our reply was simple: “No problem, the driver will be waiting at the meeting point.” We believe that travel should be stress-free, and our flexibility is part of what makes our transportasi to Gili Trawangan and Gili Air so convenient.
