Sri Lanka airline need to improve a lot I hope in the future they will we are not a rich country but we will improve in the future ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love Sri Lanka miss you so much
Ryan, thanks for doing this video. It brings back lovely memories. Before Covid, Sri Lankan used to do about $1500 return Bangkok to Europe return in Business class. (And Singapore airlines Adelaide to Bangkok economy return) We used it years! Just a couple trips was enough points for Bangkok /Hong Kong business return. So for us ,it was the epitome of luxury. Same as you, we loved the food. Oh, we used the stopover plan they have for long stops in Colombo. That worked well.
Thanks for The Video... Thanks For The Wonderful Naratives... Glad that you Enjoyed Sri Lankan Airlines And Were Very Genuine In Your Comments And Experience With Them... Visiting Sri Lanka Is Surely In My Bucket List
Just stumbled upon your Channel Ryan... I really like it! Love your sense of humour! Keep it going as much as you can... Good to see you've made Oz your home...
Im so glad you enjoyed your flight and gave a very honest and unbiased, fair opinion. Sri lanka has long been one of my most favorite countries (been there 6 times) , and their airlines are amazing. I'm looking forward to going back next year.
@ryansofly1624 6 time, make a point to visit Sri lanka (at least a week or 10 days minimum, and get ETA online first). You'll undoubtedly fall in love with this treasure island!
I agree with Josh that the airline isn't perfect. Just like the country, it's struggling. But I don't agree with Josh that we should avoid flying the airline. As you saw, they were wonderful.
"I was appalled by the behavior of *Jayatilake Chamindra*, a cabin crew member on the *Sri Lankan Airlines flight Ui-195 from Colombo to Delhi on September 7th, 2024*. He seemed unable to communicate effectively with passengers and resorted to shouting 'go back' at someone, when a polite request would have sufficed. I've never encountered a crew member who *was so rude and inarticulate*, especially when they're expected to be courteous and composed."
Hi Ryan, the best way to enjoy Sri Lankan milk rice is to mix some sambal or some fish curry with milk rice, we use rice as a neutralizer. It's too spicy if you eat them separately (the Chinese way) 😊
Yes.... Indeed this is the way my family eats sauce with rice... Separately. Its actually the Cantonese way... Sharp eye. 😏 I get a bit frazzled when sauce is splashed all over the rice... 🤣
If you are flying SriLankan Business class out of CMB airport, you have a dedicated premium departure channel called "Silk Route" at Colombo airport where you can drive up to the Silk Route door and get your check-in, bag drop and border control clearance done in one dedicated location. You no longer required to stay in long line with regular Economy class passengers. Next time when you are flying SriLankan Business, use priority check-in at the silk route which is Free of Charge for Business Class passengers flying on SriLankan Airlines.
Fantastic review Ryan thanks for showing off the Sri Lankan experience so well! very much looking at going to Sri Lanka later this year looks like an amazing country! Seriously weighing up whether its worth going to Sydney or Melbourne first to experience the direct Sir Lankan Airlines flight or just go via Singapore, KL or Bangkok etc bit of a dilemma!
In terms of ticket prices, notice in all my reviews I never fly these carriers FROM Australia. Because the fares are simply too expensive. But if that's not an issue, my pick is to go via Melbourne. Sydney is too chaotic for liking.
The chaos of CMB airport can be completely bypassed by purchasing the Topaz level departure pack from the airport for about $40 USD I think. Buy online, enter through the business class entrance (not the main entry) 10 minutes to check in pass immigration and personally escorted airside. No need for business class or using Sri Lankan Airlines as it is a service of the airport itself. Use this everytime as it saves up to 4 hrs of hot sweaty frustration of the insane CMB airport.
Sadly I did not know about this other entrance for business class passengers. Silly me for not researching enough. Either way, at least I got the showcase the real CMB... 😂...
@@ryansofly Hi Ryan, It is not even restricted to Business class passengers. We were only flying economy. As a comparison; the entrance is before the terminal concourse where all the other taxis, etc bank up. We were airside before others had even entered the terminal building!
darrencrick9993. Fabulous information to bypass the chaos described by Ryan. I will seek if my tour managers of Sri Lanka has made this arrangement in Feb/ March 2025 please advise how to get a link to the Topaz level departure at the airport? Many thanks! OV
Thank you soo much Ryan 😍and we are waiting for you in next time and come again to Sri Lanka and fly with Sri Lankan airlines..you have to come to here at least 2 weeks ..🤭right ..visit Kandy ,ambuluwawa,ella,nuwara eliya,mirissa whale watching,sigiriya,adam’s peak and down south also 🥰❤️
Hi Ryan, thanks for the update of the chaos at the Colombo International Airport. My spouse and I will arrive in Colombo and depart from there in business on Sri Lanka, in March 2025. Are there specific lines for their business class pax in the security, check in and boarding? Your report seem to report little or no management in the building?! Cheers OV
As business class passengers with UL, just get the taxi to drop you further up from where I stood in the intro. There is a separate entrance for business class ticket holders.
We are going on them soon Melbourne return. Great to see their service, thank you for this. Curious though why you didn’t go through the Silk Route entry to make the process easier as you were entitled to?
Stunning menu very nice and the set and service seemed very reasonable for business class. Was that a bumpy landing sure looked like it? Very sad its all finished but have enjoyed the series, thank you. Guess we need to wait patiently now for the next travel vlog. Btw was that Sydney sign still in Melbourne :D
Nah the landing was normal. Just my weak jetlagged hands.... Hahahaha.... Don't forget the missing window, I was also seated waaaaaaay forward than normal holding the GoPro. Yes I was once confused by Sydney signs in Melbourne, I once panicked and thought I landed at the wrong airport! Hahaha
Another great vlog mate. I had a mouth full of coffee that went everywhere when you described the welcome drink😂 Being One World did you get points and credits? Im definitely interested in taking a flight with them in the near future. Thanks for showing us😊🇦🇺👍
Comparing Heathrow airport with 89M passengers a year (pre covid) to Colombo airport is a bit stupid. Will be much better if we could build a 3rd runway and an extra terminal for that runway.
@@sulzs3394 what are you talking about your comment makes no sense. Remember in Srilanka the airport operates 24/7 there is no night restrictions or curfew so ques are less when you can spread those passengers over the whole day. Heathrow has night restrictions hence the ques and bottleneck during the day.
@@olavthewiking3700 while I'd ordinarily agree with you, I make the exception in this case. The portions were VERY generous and tasted better than it looked. It also worked out well because I was extremely exhausted and I wanted to sleep. Compared to my recent business flight on Thai Airways last week, it was 6 courses stretched close to 90 minutes to complete. 6 courses!
What? No EGGS? How disappointing Ryan! :) That airport in Colombo is just MAD! And the ceilings are so low it feels so old! We flew out with Sri Lankan home to Melbourne in 2018 economy and the lines were time consuming but even in economy we had a good flight. Jetlag - well on my way home in April I experienced some really bad jetlag. Worse than I have ever experienced actually, I dont usually have problems with it. the first two days back in Melbourne were pure hell. honestly in the past it's almost been a non-event. On the way back from Europe in 2019 we booked 6 hours at the transit hotel at Changi and somehow that did the trick. another great video!
In all fairness, I've been to far worse airports than CMB. So while it looked chaotic in my video, it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. MNL was waaaaaaay way worse. Hahaha...
Seriously so excited to watch this video as I also only recently took this very flight. I'd like to see how your flight compared with mine and whether service, f&B offerings are standardised. :-) I will admit, I am SO glad that I stayed landside for my 19hr transit. The lines/queues looked immense. OMG the Sri Lankan lounge is all about the food. You and I have the exact same taste buds. Only difference is that I was more of a pig than you and I piled my plate with triple the amount of food you ate. LOL OK, your crew were definitely much nicer than mine! Not that my crew were unfriendly, just that yours were clearly more engaging. I absolutely agree that the food portions are very generous. We ordered exactly the same dishes! The fish curry was SOOO good. So much so, I would fly UL again purely for their catering. You got a second breakfast! Your crew obviously preferred you over me. LOL Very sad to see the end of this travel series.
You should've chanced it at immigration and got out. The lines getting back was great for dramatic effect, but there's a separate line for business class. I just didn't know about it. Look, after dinner the crew clued in pretty quickly I was a vlogger. That being said, I was offered two options for brekky at the beginning because that particular crew was worried I couldn't take chilli. They were fantastic. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
you complimented the crew and food on Sri Lankan Airlines - but of course its going to be fantastic... you were in Business class. I wonder what it was like in Economy, the food and service, because thats the only section I could afford when flying on any airline. youl always get treated like royalty in First or Business class
Sri Lanka is absolutely famous for their hospitality and spicy food. Definitely one of the long flights I was looking forward to. And for an overnight long haul flight, I'd definitely want to fly up front if the price is right. My back can act up flying that distance sitting up. 😞

Hope you’re a little smart to know that little fact! I’d say next time mind your own business and don’t get involved in other peoples business. You’re a travel vlogger. Stick to that!
Yes... Its amazing isn't it?
Oh my gosh this man is grinch🙄 always complaining 🫨🫨
How in the hell did you get that from what's an amazingly positive review of this beautiful airline and a glowing impression of the country? You clearly have issues so I suggest you sort yourself out up there, mate. 🤷
If you want just positive reviews go watch Sam Chui, perhaps?
Awesome ✈️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😄
