Actually airport to Bangsal is more like 1.5 hours these days, not 2 hours. Because of the bypass and improved roads. My preferred option is get a taxi to Teluk Nare and get a speedboat to Gili Air. Bangsal is ok if you want an adventure and to pay $2 for the crossing. Me, I just want to get there so don't mind paying $30-$40 for a speedboat. FromBangsal Pier on Lombok you can then take the local boats to the Gili Islands. But chartering a private boat can be a good alternative for a larger group. There are also boat connections from Bali via the Nusa Islands to Gili Gede and finally Gili Trawangan. More information about boats and times is available at 12go.asia.
