Top tips for finding cheap flights to Sri Lanka

  • Looking for cheap airfare to Sri Lanka? 25% of our users found tickets to Sri Lanka for the following prices or less: From Bengaluru (Bangalore) ₹ 10,589 one-way - ₹ 19,187 round-trip, from New Delhi ₹ 10,769 one-way - ₹ 21,501 round-trip, from Mumbai ₹ 11,797 one-way - ₹ 22,412 round-trip
  • Book at least 1 week before departure in order to get a below-average price.
  • High season is considered to be January, November and December. The cheapest month to fly from India is March.
  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Sri Lanka flight deals.
  • If you're flying to Sri Lanka and you want to visit more than one city, you will first have to fly to Colombo Airport (CMB), which is the main airport on the island. You should then be able to take internal flights to other parts of the country from there.
  • There are two main airports you can fly to in Sri Lanka. Colombo Airport (CMB), in the west of the country, gives you access to the capital city. Meanwhile, Trincomalee Airport (TRR), in the north of the country, is the perfect place to visit for relaxing beach holidays.
  • The main religion in Sri Lanka is Buddhism, so beware of travelling to this country during the same time as a religious festival as it can get very busy. For example, during Duruthu Perhera, a grand temple procession, many families will be travelling to celebrate together so it’s likely flight prices will be more expensive.
  • Even though the flight is relatively fast, some airlines will include food in the booking. Vistara flights from Mumbai to Colombo Airport provide a light meal, while SriLankan Airlines provides a meal from New Delhi to Colombo. On flights from New Delhi to Trincomalee Airport, you can get meals if you fly with AirAsia India and Air India.
  • Indian citizens can travel to Sri Lanka with ease, providing they have a valid passport and have completed the Sri Lanka Electronic Travel Authorisation before arrival. You will then get a visa on arrival which lasts for 30 days. 

FAQs - booking Sri Lanka flights

  • Which beaches are close to the airport?

    Sri Lanka is blessed with some great beaches and the highlight is you won’t have to travel far once your flight lands in Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB). From the airport, you can reach popular beaches such as Morawala Beach in about 35min by car.

  • What are popular stopovers on flights from India to Sri Lanka?

    Whilst there are direct flights to Sri Lanka, it might be easier for you to fly indirectly. If so, a popular stopover is Chennai Airport (MAA) on IndiGo flights from Dehli or Mumbai Airport (BOM). On flights from Dehli to Trincomalee Airport, you will likely stop at Colombo Airport with SriLankan Airlines.

  • Are there direct flights to Sri Lanka?

    You can get a direct flight to Sri Lanka from various airports across India, making it a great option for holidays. For example, you can fly directly to Colombo Airport (CMB) from New Delhi Airport (DEL), Mumbai Airport (BOM), Chennai Airport (MAA), and Kochi Airport (COK), so you can explore the country of Sri Lanka easily.

  • Are there streaming services on flights from India to Sri Lanka?

    You can access streaming on a range of airlines operating this route. For example, on a flight from New Delhi to Colombo, you can get streaming entertainment with SriLankan Airlines.

  • What is the best airport to fly into to see Kandy Lake?

  • Are there certain laws I should know when hiring a car from the Sri Lanka airports?

    Everyone in the hire car must wear their seat belt at all times. Whilst there are no child seat rules in the country, it’s strongly advised that small children are in a suitable child restraint when driving. You can use a mobile phone in the car but only if it is an entirely hands-free device.

  • Which airports are hubs for airlines that travel to Sri Lanka?

i bought a biz class fare but a few days before vistara always changes my biz class flight to economy .. happened to me 4 times .. seated could be wider .. boarding could be more organized .. crew did their best but not enough resources all in all very poor experience

Qatar said few times that the luggage will be at the final destination but they were wrong. Please check where your port of entry is at the destination. This is where the luggage would be. The food was terrible.

Comfortable seats, service, food and responses of crews member was polite and way they were talking with customer was very professional.

They need to be more accommodative when folks have a connecting flight and that too under the same ownership.

One of the On board crew misbehaved and services were poor

Flight was delayed in total one and half hours that was typical old Air India .. So avoid new Airindia with same old reputation. Make sure flights are in time .

plane is clean and well taken care of cabin crew

The Airlines is really professional and flights are almost on time in respect of departure and arrivals are concerned.

No Food, No beverages, only water, and there is no information about this sudden change

Pros: "Vistara ground staff is not very helpful"
Cons: "Vistara ground staff is not very helpful in resolving the problem of my baggage in three days"

I changed the flight, there was restriction from srilanka to india - airline is not allowing me to board with that ticket, i changed the ticket for my travel. Thanks!

Pros: "The food was really good. Had the chicken sausage with pasta and mushroom."
Cons: "After travelling from the Maldives and our final flight home from Melbourne to Brisbane, several people had their luggage sopping wet due to rain at Melbourne. Everything inside the luggage was wet. Qantas Customer Service was not empathetic. They said it was only water and bad luck."
Pros: "Planes and entertainment was amazing. Flight crew very good and friendly."
Cons: "The ground staff at Amsterdam were very poor and not well organized to handle issues. Some individuals were very rude and unhelpful"
Pros: "Crew is amazing with a smile always. It was a new aircraft with nice screens and a good variety of movie selections. Service was excellent as well as the food."
Cons: "I was denied checking in a the counter. I bought the ticket with a friends credit card and they needed to have the actual card to swipe and then only they get access to my booking. It is company policy but it is not stated when you are making the purchase the airlines website. It says so on the bottom of the ticket on the page long rules in small print. And in all honesty who reads all of that these days. The ground crew were nice enough to take me to the airlines office at the airport and figure out a solution. It took an hour and a half to sort it out and get a verification from headquarters office in Srilanka."
Pros: "I have found Sri Lankan staff to be most friendly and accommodative."
Cons: "Unfriendly ambiance. Disorganized boarding. I’m even a member of Fly Smiles. The flight attendant named Chanaka moved 2 old passengers on my side. I kindly requested to another staff if I can just move seat too because I am not comfortable. But request no action. The cabin crew are not that caring because I took care of the 2 passengers. I just don’t understand why they are unfriendly. I will not choose this airlines again."
Pros: "The service and crew were excellent!"
Cons: "The seats weren’t very comfortable but overall the plane was very clean and again the service was impeccable."
Cons: "Flight was late and because of that we missed adelaide flight"
Pros: "Acceptable but not exceptional as expected"
Cons: "Unfortunately the it was a bumpy ride as most of the time the seat belt sign was on and crew had to discontinue services for a while. This was beyond airlines control. The crew did not distribute the Sri lankan landing cards onboard. This caused some confusions for first time travellers as they had to cone off the immigration queue and went to pick the card up and to complete. Some foreigners were unhappy about it."
Pros: "food"
Cons: "excpt food anything not good and baggage checker give trouble alot"
Cons: "In Kiwi i couldnt add extra baggage weight. I had to pay extra in the baggage drop in"
Pros: "Worth buying an XL seat Liked the rolling ramp better than steps. Buses to terminal were wuick"
Cons: "Baggage policy for checkin and carryon is too restrictive, too low. Too many email messages sent by IndiGo."
Pros: "Cleanliness, and punctuality."
Cons: "Choice of food available. Since it was lunch time, proper lunch type food should be available, and not just snacks."
Pros: "We arrived"
Cons: "The flight was an hour late on departure pushing the international flight timeline a bit too narrow."
Cons: "Very dismal performance.Copilot was missing in the last minute. incorrect baggage weighing scales.had to pay extra. Plane delayed by 4 hours almost missed my international connection. Very very stressful and unprofessional expression especially. Absolutely would not recommend this airline."
Cons: "Flight 6E 188 to Chennai supposed to leave at 6.20 AM got cancelled by airliner. Lot of discomforts faced. Indigo should pay me penalties to me by three times the charge."
Pros: "Promptness and efficient management of time. Nice staff!"
Cons: "The food is too ready-made and processed. They incorrectly market it as fresh. They need to have better and genuine food"
Pros: "Seat is as good as a concrete slab of a park bench."
Cons: "Late departure. No communication to passengers. Taking passengers to aircraft in a bus before it is ready and making them wait for a long time. In fact the passengers from incoming flight were disembarking when we were taken to the aircraft. Last week also it was the same story."
Pros: "Efficient check-in and boarding."
Cons: "Wanted something from onboard catalog. I asked Air hostess for it and she didn't bother to bring me the item."
Pros: "It was good flight. Mainly impressed by professional cabin crew. Check-in process could be better as there was no one at priority check-in desk and no sign for the same."
Cons: "We asked one of our hand bags to be checked in. But was told we will be charged."

As usual Air India flight is very good but long journey with no media entertainment. Bring your own arrengment.

Pros: "Food was good"
Cons: "No entertainment options, dirty seats, minimal space between seats in business class- expected more from a business class travel- did not meet expectations"
Pros: "Crew was friendly and helpful. Took good care of wheelchair bound passengers. Landings on this trip were exceptionally impressive."
Cons: "The entertainment system isn’t the greatest, but in the iPad era this is not a big negative."
Pros: "It is very wonderful. I like it so much."
Cons: "I think food is very important. We want every thing cleanly"
Cons: "The plane was not cleaned appropriately. The staff did not arrive to open the plane when we arrived in Mumbai"
Pros: "That I got from Pune to New Delhi"
Cons: "The flight was delayed by an hour and 10 mins and no announcements at Pune airport. Cabin crew seemed welcoming when entering the aircraft but was very crude in the way food was served and didn't really care. Just wanted to get it all over with and go home it seemed."
Cons: "Flight was delayed. The inside of the cabin is not kept up."
Pros: "The fact that we landdd from San Francisco to Delhi in 15 hours was the best part of the travel."
Cons: "Poor entertainment equipment, unhelpful crew, average food and overall unclean flight. These have become trademarks of Air India."
Pros: "on time, great food!"
Cons: "most of the entertainment systems were very slow and headphones not working"
Pros: "Loved the food and the leg room available."
Cons: "The head phones provided were not operating properly. although the cabin crew personnel immediately got it replaced once informed"
