There's a decent sized Sri Lankan population here in UK. And from my experience, they're the friendliest, most smiley people on earth. It's my dream to visit Sri Lanka and enjoy their culture.
Thanks for commenting us.. yes we are sir..,!! most hospitable and humble , flexible ..smiley nation ... please visit us and taste above things with beauty of nature and all you can get it in once.. WELCOME MY PARADISE..!!!!
@@mahindagunawardana6641 Sri Lanka is an amazing country, its people are some of the friendliest, kindest and welcoming in the world. The scenery is fantastic, wonderful wildlife, delicious food (one of my fav cuisines), some of the worlds best beaches. It is so sad to see what is currently happening in the country right now. I have visited 5 times and cant wait to come back! I hope the current instability ends soon and things get better for the wonderful people.
@@markwdavis Yes Sir, Thanking you.. yes we are but all politician ruined the country very badly.. we all suffer ... but no matter if anyone visit us we treat them with our world renowned hospitality and smile... visit us sir.... thanking you..stay safe...!! Colombo.
I have traveled to Srilanka on Srilankan airlines many times .I was there recently in February and I must say the crew is very hospitable and ever smiling.Its a beautiful country and loving people. I sincerely hope and pray that the situation improves and tourism flourishes.My sincere prayers for the people of Srilanka
Really appreciate your effort in supporting our tourism and national pride. This is such a priceless emotion from you and we are all deeply thankful for your honest thoughts about our country Josh .
It will always be our pearl JC, spent 2 weeks in SL in 2002, unforgetable. Played Cricket on all 3 cricket test grounds in Galle, Kandy, Columba. Sri Lanka changed me forever, mate. 🇱🇰💙
I too, have loved flying Sri Lankan and have many times used that beautiful lounge. When I saw the big doors so many memories came flooding back - great airline, beautiful country, caring people. Thanks for sharing Josh, love the channel
Visited Sri Lanka 3 years ago just before terrorist attacks, best place I’ve ever been on holiday, nicest people and so beautiful, wish the country the best for the future
Stayed in Sri Lanka for six months, with the beautiful city of Kandy as my base. I loved Trinco in the north and Galle in the south. The most beautiful island country in the world, second only to mine. And the Sri Lankans, both Sinhalese and Tamil, are wonderful people. I hope that corrupt ruler and his family disappear from the face of the earth and Sri Lankans once again can prosper and live happily in their island paradise, particularly the youth.
Thanks, we are waiting eagerly for the wicked family's exit to continue to make Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 great again not just for tourists but for ourselves as well.
Hi Josh..! Appreciate your concern towards Srilanka🇱🇰during this crisis and looking forward for betterment of our neighborhood.. Much support and love from India🇮🇳Peace✌️
Love Sri Lankan Airlines Business My favourite for service Always look at their price when travelling from Asia to UK. Glad to see the service is still good 😊
I would completely agree that Sri Lankan Airline has come of the nicest crew. I flew on their DEL-CMB and CMB-MLE sectors on A320neo and A330-300 respectively. I have had the best ever flight experience. Lovely friendly crew and lovely food. In my case, the planes were quite well maintained.
I reinforce your views regarding Srilanka. After booking my tickets was wondering if I should travel. My contacts assured me to come. I took the plunge and here i am in Srilanka! Wonderful unassuming helpful people, good food! Yes I travelled by Srilankan from Delhi to Colombo - no complaints. Please come to Srilanka they need us. By the way I shall be in Colombo on the 6th May 22, does that beer offer holds!
read the history, there was a genocide of tamils in sri lanka civil war till 2009, and rajapakha was re elected cause of his suppression of tamil language,. This is just karma,
@@dog6376 you all are the real haters. You all don’t like to see the unity in Sri Lanka. You don’t want to see that people appreciate our country. When they call Sri Lanka it is not about Sinhala people , it is also about Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim and each and every citizen who live here. I know the people like you want to see the division of our people. Please let us live peacefully. We live happily with our Tamil brothers and sisters and also they live us happily with us. I have so many Tamil friends . They really love me. We need peace not hate. This is so tiring. Why you all not giving us to live peacefully. You all always try to remember the past. War is always war. Sinhala people died , Tamil people died but we all are Sri Lankans. That’s mean Sri Lankans died bcz of the war. Please understand this.
@@mininini166 wanting the genocide to be acknolodged isnt being a hater. the victims of genocide deserve acknowledgment and reparations. the fact that this makes you mad tells me all I need to know about you. The minorities are still systemically oppressed and discriminated against heavenly and the UN is currently running investigations yet you lie that we all live in peace. Shut up with ur racist ass.
Yo DOG, Karma is a bitch they say, its taking a big bite out of not only the majority Sinhalese its equally affecting your buddies and my fellow countrymen the Tamils, Muslims & Christians alike. By the way the Rajapakas are doing ok, its the rest of us common citizens who are suffering. So, a little compassion wouldn't hurt you and one day might save you from the same "Karma" the Bitch.
So happy to hear good news about Sri Lanka and it's lovely airline (especially the staff, which makes so much difference to a good flight). Thanks for the review.
I can see that Srilanken Airlines is in crisis, the business class was completely empty other than you. Well they’re definitely not cutting back on the food. It looked delicious! Maybe the American carriers can learn from them. Nice video Josh❤️👍✈️
Yeah Sri Lanka is in a crisis situation due to the corruption and mismanagement of resource by our foolish leaders... Pls do help our motherland... Visit our paradise in sri lankan airlines (the best airline in hospitality) ❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️
Just went to Sri Lanka a few weeks ago, wonderful country and people and totally manageable despite the power cuts. Hope to go back soon and see the east coast! Flew SL also, and they were great
I visited Sri Lanka in 2019 and loved it, such a beautiful country with very kind and friendly people! I flew Sri Lankan from Singapore to Colombo and only thing to complain was that it was quite cold. All the blankets were out because everyone thought it was a bit cold. Flights in Asia are always colder than the long haul from Europe and I always take a packable down jacket and sarong. But it was fine, I've been on much colder and really unbearable flights in the Philippines. Overall nice airline and I like their advertising : 'You're our world' Considering visiting again this year :)
Were actually thrilled to try out Sri Lankan Airlines after seeing your latest video and fully agree with your experiences and comments: had ageing 320's on the BOM-CMB sector around Christmas and New Year (maybe 16-18-year-old aircraft both ways), but the cabin crews were adorable and the food fantastic - four options to choose from, something you only dream of in Europe! The only thing we found awkward were the departure arrangements upon leaving CMB on 02 January 2023: there were two flights departing around the same time from the remote gates and the staff in security and the R gates (bus gates) were disoriented and it took ages to finally step on the bus - empty buses kept coming and going outside the waiting lounge for some 30-40 minutes and it felt like looking at a merry-go-round. Everybody got exhausted in the crowded and very hot waiting lounge. However, loved Sri Lanka and the people, and we try very hard to be back in March 2023 flying Sri Lankan on the DEL-CMB sector. If we're lucky, we'll be able to try out their 321neo that looked very good on your earlier video from KUL to CMB.
Hey, i was in sri lanka in october 21. I also married my husband there! Hes a sri lankan and he showed me how beautiful sri lanka is! 🥰 Like to see you supporting them there!!
@@mahindagunawardana6641 I know, I really love the sri lankan people! So kind and lovely ❤️ and I miss sri lanka so much. Can't wait to come again!! ☺️
Flew with them when they were formerly branded as Air Lanka. The joy of flying between London Gatwick to Colombo via Abu Dhabi was quite fun, especially on a L-1011 Tristar. I don't think everyone can say they had a chance to fly on a beauty of a bird. But my memories have always been that they were a much better airline than what India could offer, especially the layover resort stay the airline provided at the time. And yes, the crew was always awesome then and not surprised to see they are still awesome.
Great review on SriLankan Airlines Josh👌🏻 Welcoming Crew and the food portion served was amazing during this though crisis Keep up the good work SriLankan Airlines🇱🇰
As a Sri Lankan and an avgeek myself, I'm so happy to see our flag carrier performing so well in such turbulent times. And thank you Josh for highlighting the Sri Lankan spirit that still is and always will fly high!
Thanks Mate for the video. A week ago we flew SL Airlines from Melbourne to Colombo and back in BC. As usual the experience was awesome and the food was divine. Love Sri Lankan Airlines and the crew hospitality.
Good to hear Sri Lanka is slowly getting back on track. Also, I am pretty shocked that the airline provides good food and the most option of tea, the airline is undeerrated.
I visit Sri Lanka at least once a year and I do love I there Josh you are so correct about how great the people and country are and what a wonderful airline they have so happy to see you cover the political side of the country and provide your viewers with proper information about that subject. I would love to have one of you key rings with me when I fly all over the world for my job. Thanks again for the great video keep up the good work
I have never met anyone that hasn’t thoroughly loved their vacation to Sri Lanka, including one friend who decided to move to the country. I can’t wait for my chance to visit!! Maybe even in the next few weeks! And I’ll definitely fly Sri Lankan (I’m also loyal to oneworld, which they are a member of:)).
Thank you indeed for your support of our national Airline Srilankan. Sri Lanka needs more visitors like you. As you have experienced the beautiful Pearl of the Indian Ocean, I’m certain your comments will help other visitors to visit our beautiful country and enjoy its hospitality.
Hey Josh, I was almost in tears when you explained your connection to Sri Lanka on the video. Really appreciate your support towards my motherland and SriLankan Airlines. Thanks!
Josh I've been twice to Sri Lanka and loved it both times. Great to see you spruiking the country, and hopefully sooner rather than later this start to stabilise and some money begins to flow again through the economy. I havent left Australia for three years nearly but hoping to early next year - but Sri Lanka not in the plans as I have a very specific plan. But I will always keep it in mind from Australia it's not so hard to reach and we flew home with Sri Lankan Airlines last time we were there and had a good flight. Had no idea you lived there! Keeping producing the wonderful content that you do!
I have known Sri Lanka for more years than I care to remember. The people and the countryside make this place a true paradise. Listen to what Josh is telling you. As always he is quite right!
I am Happy for Sri Lankan Airlines, despite the odds they are still good. (unlike those other airlines that aren't performing as expected because of its location)
As always proud to be a Srilankan. Thank u very very much Josh for admiring our beautiful island nation and persuading all to visit Srilanka amidst all hardships. This is a time we as Srilankans need much help from all over the world. The best thing u all can do is visit our beautiful nation and help us grow the way we were back those days. If u all visit once, you will never regret. Thanks a lot once again Josh for inspiring everyone to visit our beautiful island nation. We as Srilankans will be back the way we were very soooooooon and enjoy life together with u all.......
I flew this on March 20 from CDG - CMB - CGK in business class . I love the food as I taste a spicy 🌶 food onboard …. So much comfort and enjoyable flight
Dear Josh Cahill....we all respect you as Sri Lankans... for choosing to spend your hard own money in this beautiful paradise still facing hardship due to the current economic crisis. As you can experience the economy can make some hardships but it cant let down our hospitality of my people's kindness and friendlinesses. furthermore, you make us proud by being a Sri Lankan by staying in the gem of Asia. It was a hard decision bcs you can choose where you can live easily and a more developed country than Sri Lanka. You are a true friend BCS friend in need is a friend in deed.. and son of the soil. ...Respect from the bottom of my heart....#SriLankaYesYouCan
Hats off honour for those words Josh.No doubt that you're a native Sri Lankan born in an oversea.❤️🤗 Heartfelt thanks for this great and honest effort you made for the goodwill of Sri Lanka.🥰
My wife, infant daughter and I flew Sri Lankan from LHR-MLE & then MLE-LHR through Columbo in business class. We had a lovely experience and would definitely fly them again. They were some of the nicest flight attendants.
Hi Josh, I'm a Sri Lankan and came across this video accidently. Thanks for the support and this must-wanted video. Hats off to you from all the Sri Lanakns🇱🇰 Sri Lanka needs people like you because I honestly believe those words came from the bottom of your heart🇱🇰thanks again Josh🙏
Im a Sri Lankan, born and raised here in SL and josh i hv been watching ur videos since i was 16 and i hv never seen u asking other ppl to come to other countries like u did to our county! thank u so much for explaining everone else in the world about the crisis we facing right now. As a Sri Lankan i really appreciate your effort in supporting our tourism and national pride which is already ripped bcuz of one family. Also the fact that u mentioned about the power cuts , peaceful protests , lack of medicine and other things make me think how much u love our country.This is such a priceless video from you and we SL are all deeply thankful for your honest thoughts about our country. we will forever smile like we were always taught. sending love. xxxxxx
My dad served in as a Diplomat in the High Commission of India in Colombo & we lived in the place called Horton. Thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful country. Met lot of Sri Lankan friends who studied with me in Chennai college. Sad, things isn't the same
Thank you very much Josh for your positive review about our humble Airline and Sri lanka..🇱🇰 during these struggling times your video will be a great tutorial for visitors ...
I have been to Sri Lanka once in 2012 and indeed it is a very nice peaceful country. went o Negombo, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, visited the never ending tea plantations and the cinnamon plantations as well! Splendid! Stay safe Josh!
Thank you Josh for an amazing video yet again. I wish things get to more normal in Srilanka soon. Srilankans are known to be fighters and they will definitely overcome this crisis. My best wishes and love from your brother country Pakistan. Stay strong Lanka!!
I went there about 20 years ago when there was civil unrest with tamale tigers.It didn't put me off one bit.once there loved the country and most of all.Even got to stay with a family there for 3 night best ever experience. And traveling around is second to none.Will definitely be going back.luved the elafant orphanage and tea plantations.
I literally got tears while reading these wonderful and lovely comments. Cannot imagine what’s going on in my country and to my people. However thank you world for your love and care towards Sri Lanka. Yes, as everyone knows we are going thru a huge economic crisis and its all because of mismanagement and corrupted politicians (Rajapaksa family). Keep praying for sri Lanka and hope we will be back soon as a strong nation than ever before. We are looking forward your continue support and love for Sri lanka as it’s a beautiful country with amazing people. Thank you , May god bless you all 💛🇱🇰
Thank you for the review Josh, happy to say I have a Abu Dhabi to Jakarta via Colombo return flight booked in August with them. Looking forward very much to it and the amazing crew experience.
Its sad to see that the powerful people abuse of the vulnerable, I currently live in Mexico, we have a corrupt government that claims to be clean and honest. Wishing the best for Sri Lanka.
As a citizen in Sri Lanka, I must be very thankful to you for the massive support to uplift the economy and tourism industry. What you expressed and the feelings and emotions about our country are priceless. Lots of love Josh
Thanks for an honest update on the situation in Sri Lanka. I have my second visit booked for October flying aspirational Emirates F for my birthday (points trip of course)
Josh, Thank you so much for describing the current situation of our country from the right aspect. We're on the process of making this beautiful island to live peacefully and free of corruption. Thank you so much for spreading the message to the world. Sri Lanka is safe to visit. We await you with our warmest welcome. 🇱🇰❤️
Thank you so much for this refreshing video, I still can't over the air peace video that's why I didn't comment on it ,even if an airline is going through some crises,the crew who are ambassadors of the airline can always make up for it, I love Sri Lankans, my regards to my ex social studies teacher Mrs Thambi.
Great review Josh. Was last in Sri Lanka in 2005 and had been feeling a bit nostalgic for Sri Lanka. So.. bam! Come Sept 1, I am back there for 2 weeks. And sure I'll happily fly SriLankan. I wish only the best for the country. Btw I read that staples like milk powder are in short supply there. Should I fill up my case with 400g packets of milk powder to drop off at a foodbank? Apart from supporting local businesses is that a practical way to contribute?

Dear Josh Cahill....we all respect you as Sri Lankans... for choosing to spend your hard own money in this beautiful paradise still facing hardship due to the current economic crisis. As you can experience the economy can make some hardships but it cant let down our hospitality of my people's kindness and friendlinesses. furthermore, you make us proud by being a Sri Lankan by staying in the gem of Asia. It was a hard decision bcs you can choose where you can live easily and a more developed country than Sri Lanka. You are a true friend BCS friend in need is a friend in deed.. and son of the soil. ...Respect from the bottom of my heart....#SriLankaYesYouCan
Hats off honour for those words Josh.No doubt that you're a native Sri Lankan born in an oversea.❤️🤗
Heartfelt thanks for this great and honest effort you made for the goodwill of Sri Lanka.🥰
My wife, infant daughter and I flew Sri Lankan from LHR-MLE & then MLE-LHR through Columbo in business class. We had a lovely experience and would definitely fly them again. They were some of the nicest flight attendants.
Hi Josh, I'm a Sri Lankan and came across this video accidently. Thanks for the support and this must-wanted video. Hats off to you from all the Sri Lanakns🇱🇰 Sri Lanka needs people like you because I honestly believe those words came from the bottom of your heart🇱🇰thanks again Josh🙏
Well said Josh, yes lovely airline and fantastic staff, we all hope change will happen for the country, cheers good man

Would love to visit Sri Lanka some day. Looks gorgeous.
My dad served in as a Diplomat in the High Commission of India in Colombo & we lived in the place called Horton. Thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful country. Met lot of Sri Lankan friends who studied with me in Chennai college. Sad, things isn't the same
My actual 1st and only A330 flight was on this very same route Colombo-New Delhi, it was 2001..I had an amazing experience.
Thank you very much Josh for your positive review about our humble Airline and Sri lanka..🇱🇰 during these struggling times your video will be a great tutorial for visitors ...
I have been to Sri Lanka once in 2012 and indeed it is a very nice peaceful country. went o Negombo, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, visited the never ending tea plantations and the cinnamon plantations as well! Splendid! Stay safe Josh!
thank you for the report. also thank you for the upbeat alternative view of the Sri Lankan situation. I live in Hong Kong.
Thank you Josh for an amazing video yet again. I wish things get to more normal in Srilanka soon. Srilankans are known to be fighters and they will definitely overcome this crisis. My best wishes and love from your brother country Pakistan. Stay strong Lanka!!
I went there about 20 years ago when there was civil unrest with tamale tigers.It didn't put me off one bit.once there loved the country and most of all.Even got to stay with a family there for 3 night best ever experience. And traveling around is second to none.Will definitely be going back.luved the elafant orphanage and tea plantations.
I'm pretty sure it's Tamil not tamal
Thank you Josh. Really appreciate your words about SL. Much love from Sri Lankans ❤️
I have always considered Sri Lanka a most beautiful country and people. I hope they get the change they deserve.
Thanks!
I literally got tears while reading these wonderful and lovely comments. Cannot imagine what’s going on in my country and to my people. However thank you world for your love and care towards Sri Lanka. Yes, as everyone knows we are going thru a huge economic crisis and its all because of mismanagement and corrupted politicians (Rajapaksa family). Keep praying for sri Lanka and hope we will be back soon as a strong nation than ever before. We are looking forward your continue support and love for Sri lanka as it’s a beautiful country with amazing people.
Thank you , May god bless you all 💛🇱🇰
Love your videos. Thanks for giving inside perspective on situation in Srilanka.

Being an Indian...I would convey my best regards to the people the sri lanka , please visit for vacations in Sri lanka ✌
Its sad to see that the powerful people abuse of the vulnerable, I currently live in Mexico, we have a corrupt government that claims to be clean and honest. Wishing the best for Sri Lanka.
Your review encourages me to book my next flight and vacation with Sri Lankan to Sri Lanka. Thanks!
Thank you for another fantastic review Josh. Your honest reviews would certainly change the look for SriLankan hopefully soon!
Hey Josh ! Thanks for your high quality videos!

Josh, Thank you so much for describing the current situation of our country from the right aspect. We're on the process of making this beautiful island to live peacefully and free of corruption. Thank you so much for spreading the message to the world. Sri Lanka is safe to visit. We await you with our warmest welcome. 🇱🇰❤️
Great video Josh keep up the good work as always the crew are so welcoming
Awesome to hear about SriLankan airlines business class
Based In New Zealand
Look to using SriLankan airlines next trip into SirLanka
Economic crisis is the result of single family controlling everything from politics to airline. But hoping for better future.
Never been to Sri Lanka but it looks absolutely beautiful. I'd really like to visit it in the future.
Thank you Josh for all the lovely comments about Sri Lankan Airlines and Srilanka 🇱🇰and also for encouraging tourists to visit our beautiful country 🙏
Quite nice to see that things are slowly improving
Thank you Josh for this video, I booked my flight with Srilankan Airlines....... I am ready for business class!!!
Honestly, brought me tears watching this. Thank you so much for taking the right message to the entire world!
We absolutely love our Sri Lankan family !! Love from Delhi ✌🏻🙏🏻❤
Thank you so much for this refreshing video, I still can't over the air peace video that's why I didn't comment on it ,even if an airline is going through some crises,the crew who are ambassadors of the airline can always make up for it, I love Sri Lankans, my regards to my ex social studies teacher Mrs Thambi.
Thank you for this awesome video Josh! We all love Sri Lanka and its lovely people.
Thank you Josh... Thanks a lot for supporting during these tough times.
Great review Josh. Was last in Sri Lanka in 2005 and had been feeling a bit nostalgic for Sri Lanka. So.. bam! Come Sept 1, I am back there for 2 weeks. And sure I'll happily fly SriLankan. I wish only the best for the country. Btw I read that staples like milk powder are in short supply there. Should I fill up my case with 400g packets of milk powder to drop off at a foodbank? Apart from supporting local businesses is that a practical way to contribute?
Great to see travel continue to return to normal. Keep up the great content …
Hi Josh,
