Whats the best way to fly to Indo without breaking the bank? I'd like to eventually make it to Lombok.

Isn't that like one of the longest flights you can get?
Credit card miles?

When are you going??
You can get to London pretty cheaply from the US, and there's a new budget airline starting in July which flys to Malaysia from London for £50.........from Malaysia to Bali you can do for £20 if you book far enough in advance on airasia.com, and then get the boat across to Lombok
About $800US round trip in total

Fishkid, Bali's really crowded anyway, but if you make the effort (like getting up early), you'll always get a wave.

At 800 bucks you wouldnt save a whole lot. Especially if you had to spend a day or 2 in london in between.
