Lion Air is strongest domestically, flying to every major city in Indonesia. The largest of these also connects with a very busy route network, for example, flying between Jakarta and Bali up to 10 times a day.
Within Indonesia, Lion Air is one of the cheapest airlines along with AirAsia, TransNusa and Super Air Jet.
When to buy tickets and prices
You can always get the cheapest airline tickets with Lion Air directly from the lionair.co.id website. The lowest fares tend to be around 1-5 weeks before departure, so it's usually worth waiting until the relatively last minute to buy a ticket.
Special fares do not appear very often on Lion Air, but the base price is usually quite low and stable, especially on domestic flights.
Even though Lion Air is a low-cost airline, it offers the possibility of buying guaranteed connecting flights. Prices for one-way tickets within Indonesia, when purchased at least 3 weeks in advance, usually range from 60 eur to 70 eur for shorter flights (e.g. Jakarta-Bali).
On most routes Lion Air flies with other competing airlines, so it is always worth comparing prices on one of the comparison sites.
