Just one tip about flying - try to book yourself on the first flight out of Bali to Lombok. This is the most likely to go - later in the day, there are frequent delays and cancellations. In my last trip, we were delayed for hours in both directions. This happens on all airlines as well, not just one.
There are a couple of other options - the ferry from Padang Bai (this will take all day to get to Gilis), the Perama Boat direct to Gili T (4 hours I think from Padang Bai) and the Blue Water Safari speed boat direct from Benoa in 2 hours (but expensive at 690,000rp one way).
