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.

  • 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.

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

    If you want to explore the popular city of Kandy and its famous lake, then you will need to fly to Colombo Airport before continuing your journey by car or bus. A car journey takes approximately 3h 5min from the terminal building to get to this mountainous city in the rainforest.

  • 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 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. Meanwhile, if you’re flying from Mumbai to Colombo, streaming is provided by Malaysian Airlines, Vistara and SpiceJet.

  • 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?

    New Delhi Airport (DEL), Kochi Airport (COK) and Chennai Airport all benefit from SriLankan Airlines operating flights from them to its hub in Colombo. This means that you can expect more regular direct flights and competitive pricing.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from India to Sri Lanka?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from India to Sri Lanka.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from India to Sri Lanka?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from India to Sri Lanka is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from India to Sri Lanka?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from India to Sri Lanka with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from India to Sri Lanka?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from India to Sri Lanka up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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. 
  • 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.
  • 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.

Too many carryon bags with size of checking bags. Because of that space was not there to put carry on backpacks.

Nice crew.flight delay fromBKK for some ground prep issue I guess, crew serve well to guest, and respect to guest as well. As usual AC is old,and nt much comert in compare to other rehional airliners.other than that.all good

Flight was on time.food is as usual good.Aircraft is old.old A320, seats aithout any display.crew serve well

When flying from Indian Sector, should be more prepared with Indian food

KAYAK Real time status update is not accurate.the flight inbound rejected and go around.and came back and land. Delay abt 30 min.still shows ontime.track ur self if u wana real time.and cabin crew s are nicer. Aircraft is jst ok.old airplane.and in midflight ,seems have some compressor issue.airconditioning was nt work properly either.I could litarary see guests were cheking if AC is working.bt on landing it start to gv cool.which probably some one intentionaly kept .which was so bad.even breathing was bit difficult.otjer than that.for me all ok.

This leg of the trip was smoother than compared to the initial trip. Sri Lankan Airlines still have much work to do to improve the overall travel experience.

Very good crew, very efficient. Unfortunately not all items listed in duty free catalog were available.

Very professional and well managed. On time, great staff and comfortable.

Kayak company fake total I m not travel my payment reverse plzzz my credit card

Because of the bubble agreement b/w India and Srilanka, I was not allowed to board the flight to Columbo. My experience about airport representatives was good. They were through in their job and saved my family from getting stuck in Columbo (as I would not be able to fly to Doha because of bubble agreement). So by their prompt attention, such a catastrophe was avoided. For this reason, even without flying with them, I would rate them 7/10.

Flight was short but turbulent giving uneasy feeling :( ; although views were mesmerising ;)

Flight boarding experience with journey was smooth; can describe it as a less to minimal turbulent flight!

I paid 675£ for LHR-BOM-BKK (return flight). They charged so much money but provide very less food/drinks as compared to another airlines. Never ever fly with Indigo.

Just fly from point a to b. rest holds zero stars. And with zero competition, what do you expcect

Flight was delayed 110 mins.. Crew on Ground or in Air had no regrets.. No apologies... Very poor boarding process... Awful food and beverage choice.

Flight was delayed and due to this we almost miss the connection flight

The flight was delayed by 3 hours, causing me to miss my connecting international flight. I then had to wait in the airport 18 hours for the next flight. The reason for the delay was a computer issue, not something outside of their control like weather. To add insult to injury, instead of trying to expedite the flight to make up for lost time, they ran a carry-on baggage check to verify every bag onboard belonged to someone on the plane, which took another 20 minutes.

झूठा है इंडिगो फ्लाइट में मील दिया नहीं जब शिकायत किया तो बोला आपको मिल चुका है

It took a lot of time to declare that the flight gonna be cancelled ☹️ very disappointed.

Try to Fly on time without keeping commercial passengers stranded

When landing in Hyderabad, the pilot made a hard landing. Everyone in the plane were shocked. The captain landed the plane hard and felt as if we were going to be thrown out from our seats. It was surprising the captain didn't apologize or make an announcement about. Again a surprise no crew acknowledge this. This was an odd experience!

I appreciated a meal on the shorter flight. It was slightly delayed with no announcement but I was able to determine what was happening.

I don't think there were entertainment options (short flight) - which is why I gave the 'ok' sign. Didn't make a diff in my flight experience either way, however

Really old air craft, broken seats and tray tables. Entertainment screens don’t work. Charging ports didn’t work.

Poor, pilot flew as if he was in hurry and had to coverup for wasted time

seats were not comfortable, entertainment was not working and food could be much better, given the airline calls itself full service and india's flag carrier.

The planes did not have charging jacks for phones or lap tops and there are no monitors for movies. On the flight from Delhi to Hyderabad I was the last person in First asked for a meal choice and only one meal was available so I had no choice.

Crew was polite. Ground crew was prompt in informing about the flight delay. Boarding process was ok. There was no entertainment on the flight. Blankets were not available for an overnight flight. It was very cold & blanket was given upon request. Food was average. It would have been better to serve breakfast instead of a late night dinner as people like to sleep & serving breakfast before disembarking in the morning at Singapore would have been much appreciated. Seats were ok. Plane was old.

Terrible airline... Originally, the flight was canceled and didn't receive a notification, had to learn from their twitter account... Rebooking was a huge pain... Every other airline like American and United did eventually fly a day later... The flight had a layover, no other airline needed one... India is such a weak nation globally, this airline has no leverage to negotiate good airspace... Flight left late, again no notifications as to why at the airport. On the plane, wifi is spotty, chargers don't work... The only saving grace used to be good food. Even that has gone down the drain. Just the worst!

The web check in doesn’t work. Had to wait 10 minutes on the counter for them to figure out boarding. I understand AI Express doesn’t have a practice to offer food to everyone in the business class. The flight attendant asks for name (not sure why she doesn’t know it especially with only 8 passengers in the business class) to figure out whether or not they should serve food. KAYAK should sell AI Express tickets separately, not as part of AI. Neither the experience close to AI, the Maharaja points also don’t get awarded despite Express being part of AI.
