Trip Report | Dubai - Colombo - Chennai | SriLankan Business Class | Airbus A330-300

[@gerald8811]

Been flying with them since 1987 when, back then, it was known as Air Lanka and flew the Lockheed Tristar and a single 737. A great airline with lovely staff.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Those were the days..! And what an aircraft the L1011 was.. Lovely staff indeed, I’ll continue flying them.

[@jspillai1869]

My husband and I flew from DFW to TRV and flew BA to LHR and then onwards on Srilankan to CMB and onwards to TRV. The crew and the onboard service is excellent, with great food. The days stopover at CMB before we flew out to TRV was a welcome break. We got to experience the famed Lankan hospitality and loved every minute of it. I wish they had newer equipment, and more folks will definitely fly them from especially from the US, now that their booking office in New Jersey back to full strength.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

They are highly underrated and I wish them much more success. Like you said, it’s a great country with awesome people and tasty food. I hope too more Americans fly them and they continue to grow. Glad you had a good experience, thanks for writing!

As usual an amazing video of a favorite airline of mine out of Singapore great service with a lower price for a full fledged airline - Always fly them to India from the days when it was partners with Emirates so some of the touch service aircrafts still there .Singapore Colombo India flights was fantastic where the airline would offer you a stop over for a 4 hour more connection time with hotel next to the beach with food included.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks Saud! See, it’s the same for me; one of the most affordable airlines from Dubai to Asia. Dubai to KL or Singapore won’t usually cost more then $300. And the quality is great. And yes, I continue to observe some EK touches too up to this date. One of them was that the cabin crew use the same silver serving trays as in Emirates First. I look forward to my next experience with them and wouldn’t mind that hotel on the beach!!

[@uzairibnuri8017]

Sri Lankan is a lovely carrier. I flew Biz class Riyadh-Colombo-Tokyo with a 2 month stopover in SL. They were so gracious. And of course, their tea service in Biz class is legendary. My jaw dropped when I heard one of the cabin crew making PA announcements in fluent Japanese. I would like to try their Melbourne service. Although the airline has many challenges, you would never know that flying with them. 🙏🙏❤

[@TheLayoverAviation]

2 month stop over in Sri Lanka?! I wouldn’t mind that!! And whatever the challenges are, I’m sure they’ll overcome them as it’s just a great experience. People should consider them more often as it’s top notch. Thanks for sharing your experience, I look forward flying them to Tokyo and hopefully meeting the same crew!

[@uzairibnuri8017]

@TheLayoverEatFly Yes, the RUH-NRT ticket allowed a free stopover. As I have a holiday home on the southwest coast of SL, it was a win-win. I also flew back in economy, and the service was just as good! Two cabin crew members became very chatty with me. Every time they walked past, they topped up my red wine. I finally had to say, "Stop!" I ended up writing to customer services commending them on their warm and friendly service. Hope to fly them to Seoul this winter. 🙂

BTW SriLankan look not bad at all, your review is so different from Josh Cahill who said to try to avoid them if you can, super interesting and different reviews :) I can't wait for the 773 trip report! travel safe buddy :D

[@anandabherath1009]

I saw that video too and didn't think too much about it.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Hey Itai! Josh likes to complain about everything. It really started annoying me as it’s just plainly unfair. Everyone knows he is rough on airlines and employees, so when people see him it is only human that they get nervous and make mistakes. I watched a couple of seconds of the El Al video the other day and turned it off when I noticed he was complaining about the crew being too nice when they recognized him. What the heck do you expect?! Complaining brings way more views and so money. Anyway, I’ll continue to fly SriLankan. And Vistara, and all others he hates. He actively worked alongside Qatar Airways which really has some of the toughest, strangest, unfair and unspoken work conditions for most employees, but not a word about that when you’re in bed with them. Thanks for writing, have a great one buddy!

It’s actually a flight in Business on the A380 next. But I’ve got A6-EBM from Mumbai to Dubai, maybe next month I’ll publish it. I can guarantee you it looks the same!! It should have been retired but it’s kept longer due to increased demand.

[@ramyfares9099]

10:12, not really derated, this sounds like the average take off power for the Trent 700, in fact I love it the best like that it just sounds perfect 👌🏼. I’ve flown on a Lufthansa A330-343 D-AIKC from FRA-DXB (7 hour flight) back in 2014 and I remember the takeoff power sounds exactly the same as in the vid, not derated, not full toga power, just the right average takeoff power for Trent 700

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I would say the A330 is amongst the top3 planes I’ve flown the most and I can guarantee this was the most minimal take off thrust. When the climb thrust was set you couldn’t even hear a big change so it was low already. When the A330 is heavy you can hear the higher thrust, it’s way cooler. I hope to upload that some day soon. Thanks for writing!

[@ramyfares9099]

@@TheLayoverAviation I’ve heard even lower power than that on takeoff, if you fly on Middle East Airlines on their A330-243 they set lower thrust on takeoff, if you want to experience Trent 700 at full toga thrust, fly on Swiss international Airlines A330-343, always they set TOGA thrust on their takeoff even on short distances !

According to Wikipedia and airfleets they do. Probably second hand frames to replace the A330-200’s.
