Bali to Gili Air: Booking for Reliability
Travelers choosing Gili Air often prioritize arrival timing over raw speed because accommodation and onward island movement depend on daylight windows.

When traveling with family or larger luggage, operator boarding assistance and baggage policy usually influence trip quality more than fare delta.
