CoreyFlew with SriLankan AirlinesCMB-MLEJun 2024
I don’t bad mouth people or organizations but I must warn other customers, please be cautious when booking flights via Sri Lankan Airlines. It seems as if there is always an issue or an excuse for their shortcomings.
MahdhyFlew with EmiratesCMB-MLEJan 2024
Always good to start queue ahead of time specially at Colombo. Saw some airlines having self checking of baggage. Which might reduce the queues if it is separated from other checkin methods.
