Is it true that Lion Air has a direct daily flight from Manado to Sorong and that it only takes a couple of hours?

Yes. Check their web site. 1h25m (there is a time zone change).
No, I stick with Garuda. I've not flown to Sorong, only from Sorong.@tursiops, have you actually made this Lion Air flight yourself, recently?
Anything that avoids Jakarta -- especially an overnight -- has a lot of appeal.
@chillyinCanada yes its true and its operational, our pals are booked on it in March 2019.... they are already diving in lembeh before our trip so makes sense for them to take that option
I'm routing via Jakarta as thats actually easier for us coming from Europe to get over to Papua (Malaga-Istanbul-Jakarta).
I always use nusatrip.com for indo flight bookings, when Garuda cancelled on us Nusatrip refunded very promptly.
