Nice flight review. I'm guessing with the current situation in Sri Lanka is why. you had what seemed like the lounge, airport and aircraft to yourself. Thanks for sharing from a fellow avgeek.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Thanks so much! The lounge really varied in occupancy levels oddly and the airport was really busy both times I passed through. The cabin on the return was quiet for sure but fully booked on the outbound, even up front so not all bad for the airline for sure. No doubt however current events will be weighing on the bookings.

[@davec1615]

Looks very decent. 1-2-1 config is my favorite too. This airline is making huge losses though and many cite it as one of the causes of the economic crisis there. How are they doing the fueling with all the fuel shortages? How full was the flight? hope they don't go under

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Yeah was decent for sure. Ok on the furlong front when I travelled. The government had been reserving fuel supplies for them, that alongside the offer to fuel up at Indian airports was enough to keep operations smooth. Despite their financial challenges, you could tell they were trying really hard. They have a fleet renewal strategy via leasing still planned to refresh their fleet. Certainly for their price point, they’re really good value for money!

[@pmrose18]

Travelled with them a few years ago, yes older planes BUT their personal service is way better than anyone else, I enjoyed my flight with them, wish Srilankans well and hope their economy recovers.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Yeah they absolutely do a wonderful job on the service front, really hope their airlines continues to prosper as with solid hard products, they’d be phenomenal…

Great trip report - although I'm curious about when you say they offer great value for money, did you mean just for their airfares to the middle east (i.e. Dubai)? Their Business class airfares from Europe to Sri Lanka are exorbitant - more expensive than Swiss/Edelweiss, LOT, and in this respect I would say in terms of the service/product ,Sri Lankan airlines doesn't offer good value for money.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Thanks so much! That will depend on the route, whenever comparing a home carrier to their home destination they’ll always be expensive as are offering a direct service. Typically, travellers can opt to fly with them from Europe through into south east Asia, at that moment in time they’ll then generally be really affordable. As mentioned though they will, like any airline will be looking to cash in on passengers travelling directly to their hub

[@Dodilafir]

Difficult times, hopefully everything would fall in place.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

I really hope so, they have some encouraging plans as an airline longer term so do hope they get the chance to implement those!

[@Dodilafir]

@@Travelsbydreamer Fingers crossed mate...I really want them to get the A350s but not sure if they ever would 😥

[@MaqAttaq1]

Great review

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Thanks very much!

[@vedantgavaskar]

I'm booking Sri lankan Airlines Mumbai to Melbourne Is Sri Lankan trust worthy seeing the current situation Pl reply fast Thank You

[@Travelsbydreamer]

I’d research the latest news and make a call. Even at the time of filming fuel reserves were having to be rationed to help the airline continue operations. I’d hate to make a call either way on behalf of someone else.

[@griselanemeloon7463]

Srilankan Airlines ❤❤❤

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@timothyscott1803]

Will they give complimentary hotel accommodation at Colombo? I got a trasit time of 14 hrs!

[@Travelsbydreamer]

I’d be really surprised if so. That said, there’s a transit hotel within the terminal as others have posted from memory below. I can’t imagine it would be that expensive at all as Sri Lankan accommodation is generally really good value. Safe travels ✈️

Vary nice

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Thanks!

[@julioemilioestevezgaviria7789]

Is there alcohol in busines?

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Yeah I’m sure there was :)

[@therainbowspirit483]

Why are those airlines have that type of business class like Kuwait airways or air Canada,Egyptair,SriLankan airlines and much more

[@therainbowspirit483]

Wait right it’s cuz it’s an a330

[@Travelsbydreamer]

The herringbone style of seat became really popular around 10 years ago when 1-2-1 became the standard for long haul business. They work really well for passengers so more and more airlines went with them 👍

[@therainbowspirit483]

Oh ok ty for telling me

[@sureshgunarathna1565]

i think now srilankan airlines are falls .. because this island facing big economy crisis ..

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Sri Lanka is for sure facing into some tricky times. The airline however have done a fantastic job throughout the recent crisis, I’ve heard some amazing stats on how they’ve done just recently. Hope they can keep going strong ✈️

[@markchatten9484]

Im looking at flying back to Dubai from BKK with an 8 hour layover in Colombo. Is there a hotel or room I can get and/or will they let you stay in the lounge for 8 hours? cheers

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Same flight as me by the sounds of things, there’s a airport airside hotel I think (I’d research to make sure) otherwise, I just spent the time no issues in the lounge. Enjoy!

[@pmrose18]

@@Travelsbydreamer YES, and the rooms are very big with a good shower and bathroom (business class) Had a great time staying their for 12 hours, quiet and spacious.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

@@pmrose18 great to hear!
