My husband flew from Bali to Lombok last Sunday - it was Rp365,000 one way + 30,000 departure tax. Taxi from airport to Bangsal - just guessing with price rises, but around Rp50,000. Bangsal to Gili Air would be around Rp15,000 on the public ferry.
The public ferry to the Gilis mainly goes in the morning, might be one early afternoon, so get the first flight to Lombok from Bali. It's only 1/2 hour. Taxi to Bangsal is a bit less than an hour.
If you go by ferry from Bali, it's Pandangbai to Lembar, then transport to Bangsal, which is a long way and more expensive. Unless you leave Bali in the very early hours of the morning you will not do it in one day.
