FAQs - booking Sri Lanka flights

  • Do I need a visa to travel to Sri Lanka?

    Canadian citizens need a tourist visa to visit Sri Lanka. For short stays of up to 30 days, you can apply for a tourist visa online. Be aware that the cost for this visa is approximately 6.148 LKR (47 CAD) and your passport has to be valid for 6 months beyond your expected departure from Sri Lanka. If you wish to stay longer, you can apply for the visa directly at a Sri Lankan government facility in Canada.

  • Are there any direct flights to Sri Lanka?

    There are no direct connections between Canada and Sri Lanka, so plan for at least one layover along the way. The national carriers Air Canada and Sri Lankan Airlines offer one-stop flights from major Canadian airports, such as Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and Vancouver International Airport (YVR). You might also find convenient one-stop flights to Sri Lanka provided by Middle Eastern companies such as Emirates and Qatar Airways, with a layover in their respective hubs.

  • I want to visit Udawalawe National Park. Where should I fly into?

    Udawalawe National Park is located on the south side of the island and is easily accessible from Mawella Lagoon Airport (DIW) in Dickwella. After you arrive at Bandanaraike International Airport in Colombo, you can catch a connecting flight to Mawella Lagoon Airport with the national carrier Cinnamon Air. From there, expect a 1h drive by taxi or car to the national park.

    If you want to climb the famous rock and visit the palace ruins at the top, you can fly into Sigiriya Airport (GIU) which is located near the city of Dambulla. A regular bus service connects Dambulla to the Lion Rock and costs 45 LKR (approximately 0.80 CAD). The national carrier Cinnamon Air also offers flights from Bandanaraike International Airport to Sigiriya Airport.

  • Which airlines operate the most daily flights from Canada to Sri Lanka?

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Sri Lanka

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Sri Lanka flight deals.
  • Given its history and past, you can find cheap connections from the UK to Sri Lanka. For this reason, many of the cheapest flight routes from Canada to Sri Lanka have a layover at one of London's airports in the UK.
  • The vast majority of international flights to Sri Lanka arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) which is located about 30 km north of the nation's capital, Colombo. Domestic airlines such as Cinnamon Air offer connections to smaller domestic airports across the island.
  • If you are flying from the west coast, the most convenient connection might include a layover at one of Asia's major travel hubs. Consider checking flights with Asian carriers such as Cathay Pacific, offering flights from Vancouver to Colombo with a stop at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG).
  • Sri Lanka is still predominantly a cash-based society, even though credit cards should be accepted at mid-range and high-end hotels and restaurants. You can find ATMs and currency exchange offices at the airport and throughout major cities.
  • Sri Lanka's south coast boasts some famous surf spots such as the beaches of Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna and Weligama. As these beaches are approximately 150 km from Bandanaraike International Airport, consider renting a car at the airport and travelling south on the Southern Expressway (E01).
  • Most flights to Sri Lanka land at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), which serves as the point of arrival. If you wish to connect to some of the well-known cities in Sri Lanka, such Katunayake, Negombo, Minuwangoda, and Kandana, the Bandaranaike International Airport is a perfect place to land.
  • The bulk of business travellers to Sri Lanka prefer to fly through CMB Airport, despite the fact that various airports, like Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (HRI) and Castlereigh Reservoir Airport (NUF), offer long-haul flights to the country. Because of its closeness to Colombo City, which doubles as Sri Lanka's capital and contains the majority of the nation's corporate offices, CMB is a well-liked airport for travellers on business trips.
  • Colombo Airport (CMB) can be reached in 4 different ways: by bus, taxi, vehicle, or towncar. The easiest and most economical method to get to Colombo from Colombo Airport is via bus, although it takes longer, 46 minutes. The cab ride, which takes 26 minutes, is the quickest transportation method.

Similar to Hyd->Dubai this too was worst airlines. Bad seats, bad seating arrangement which created lot of confusion since family member were not given seat together. However most of them changed the seat and got with the family. Cheap tactics by Emirates.

Similar to Hyd->Dubai this too was worst airlines. Bad seats, bad seating arrangement which created lot of confusion since family member were not given seat together. However most of them changed the seat and got with the family. Cheap tactics by Emirates.

The seating is spaced out nicely, The crew could have offer more drinks.

Premium Economy is not worth the extra money you pay. You are neither economy nor business. The seat doesn’t recline enough to relax your legs. Maneuvering while seated is cumbersome. Don’t recommend Premium Economy at all.

The best ever, friendly and attentive cabin crew, amazing captains who utilised their expertise for less turbulence, just overall amazing

It was great, a little more leg room would have been better particularly since we were in premium economy

Excellent comfort and entertainment. Service poor..Food average with little choice.

Comfort good. Service as usual poor. Cabin temperature as usual too cold, about 15 degrees

The plane seemed pretty old and the food was not good

Flight was delayed by and hour but were informed beforehand

Good food, real silverware, polite staff, smooth landing, charging plugs, good entertainment options.

There was a flight attendant named Angela who took care of me because I injured my foot badly right before the flight. Because of the service she provided I will always fly Cathay.

they are deley vancouver to hankong 3 hour after honkong 20 hour stay there honkong not visa approved and they cant help to visa so we are stay in airport 20 hour even honkong staf very bad person they cant do for us 6 hour we arround they said you there you go there waste time next time i dont want to go cathay stay in honkong

The economy seats are incredibly tight. A large percent of the traveling public will not fit. I will not fly Cathay again because of this. You are literally squeezing passengers for profit. The CEO should fly some economy flights.

it was a great experience as far as business class.. but I have had better meals and wine on other airlines.. that said.. the price was a great value for what I got in return.. crew made the difference.

Check in process at the kiosk, crew in flight and overall comfort was good. Food selection could have been better. Flight from Hong Kong to Los Angeles did not have any vegetarian main course option, it was either sea food or chicken. Being a vegetarian I could only eat yogurt and fruit. Most international flights have one vegetarian main course dish which I found missing in Cathay Pacific menu.

Cabin crew is very helpful and nice, it is another level of service compared to Air Canada

Entertainment for kids was good. Good was terrible, needs lots of work.

If I had blood clots, that window seat would've killed me for certain.

They ran out of food and were offering random food to passengers.

Special request meals are really below average. Vegetarian options are very limited if you didn't prebook.

Nothing to complain. The staff and flight was good especially the seats which was better compared than the cloth ones on Qatar airways

I would love the entertainment center to be updated with more content. The flight to Doha had more options than the one to Miami

I wish the leg room was better for Economy especially for the outbound flights to India . The outbound flight to US and Qatar was good

The check-in and crew staff were wonderful. The food was reasonable. The online side Qatar was very poor. Seats were very tight and not very comfortable for a 14 hour flight!

I prebooked a comfort plus seat on this flight and therefore the flight was comfy. I got the correct seat in the correct section of the plane that I have booked, that's this. Flight was comfortable. Staff were average on the flight, appearing to be rushed and short in engagement with travellers, perhaps this to maximise there rest time on the flight.

The staff was great and probably that's the single most thing that distinguished this particular Qatar flight from my average typical experience. They genuinely wanted to please you and do their best.

I had to stay in the airport 15 even with a hotel reservation..i was refused to inter to qatar cuz the hotel was outside the airport. They could have offered a solution. It was really exhausting for me and my family.

This trip was the most comfortable one I have ever experienced, the team was excellent and very helpful. I am so glad I picked Qatar Airways.

I was unable to pre purchase sear upgrades or internet. Their online site is not user friendly and poor. I felt singled out in customs. Seats are very small even for a small person.

The space was tight, hardly any leg room and the crew surprisingly were busy and did not take the time to attend to passengers, felt rushed. There was a delay for check in since the systems were down the airport staffs were accommodating

Boarding was excellent except they did last call 30 minutes earlier .

It was worst flight ever of 26h. Poor service and seating. Flight from Abu Dhabi to Islamabad service and seating was worst ever. No tv extra.

The food could be better. Toilets were smelly all along

Etihad seems to have a very strict luggage enforcement. I am a very light passenger compared to other passengers which are mainly heavier. I do not understood why airlines enforce the weight restriction so strictly. I was overweight luggage of 1.5kg, but am probably 10+kg lighter than the average passenger. Other airlines are far more accommodating. Poor customer service as far as I am concerned. If weight is such an important issue to an airline they should charge passengers by total amount of body weight plus luggage. To me just ridiculous.

Crew Check-In – Kolkata (CCU) The crew handling check-in in Kolkata was outstanding—efficient, courteous, and highly organized. Flight Segment – CCU to Abu Dhabi (AUH) A standard flight overall. Notably, only one in-flight meal option—a vegetarian curry—was available, which seemed unsuitable for a red-eye journey. The crew offered no alternatives, which was unexpected. Flight Segment – Abu Dhabi to Rome (AUH-FCO) Comfort improved on this leg, but service quality was average, falling short of Etihad’s premium standards. Crew attention was heavily absorbed by a difficult couple in Row 15 (port side), resulting in disproportionate focus. It was concerning that a steward had to personally return to apologize, a task better suited for supervisory staff. This highlights a development opportunity for supervisors Anna and Quashim in managing guest escalation professionally.

Horrible. After paying for my seats, I was cramped, had no overhead bin space, freezing as the flight had no temperature controls, the food was awful and served cold, when asked for snacks was told to wait and then never received any. I booked this flight as a partner through American Airlines but will avoid in the future.

Flight was delayed due to slow boarding process by etihad. Update food options and movies as well.

Extremely bad food, they never gave our bags in time, the online check-in did not let us check in because we had Indian OCI not sure why we were given the option to check in then, because we couldn’t check in online we had to go in person and we were not able to change our seats and sit with our family

Likes: on time departure, new plane Didn’t like:very poor quality food, very limited entertainment.no amenity kit etc.

Needs better seat for business class. My seat was falling apart. Also no WiFi on that flight

Flying with Air Canada is still better than the discount airlines like Flair. The seats are more comfortable and the on-board entertainment is better, with each seat having a built in screen and lots of content to watch. Onboard WIFI is also great to have, as well as plugs for charging. I think passengers in general are getting better at not bringing too much luggage onboard, and Air Canada is better at managing this without customers feeling like they are being taken advantage of with extra fees. I have travelled on different airlines and all seem to be loading faster, with fewer people bringing both a carry on and a personal item. Now I just bring one item and it fits under the seat so I don't need to worry about finding a place in the overhead bins. Overall, across the industry, asking customers to pay for carry on baggage is fair because it allows customers to only pay for what they need, and it helps to keep the planes on time. Kudos to Air Canada for its approach - the desired result is achieved without customers feeling that they are being surprised and caught with unexpected extra fees.

Had to cancel flight due to strike. Hope things will be better next August when we will rebook. Very disappointing as it was our 50th wedding anniversary celebration l!

I’ve wasted 7 hours of my time because of the delayed. ;(

The crew were fabulous. The flight was bumpy and I always like the captain to tell me what that is about or my imagination gets carries away.

Overall great. The crews were lovely. The seats are awful. I always emerge with a back ache.

I liked the behaviour of the crew members.The flight was good.

Would like whole can of pop for 2. Treats were not great . The garlic pretzels were terrible for someone who can't eat garlic. Passenger was 84.

I had boarding pass on my phone. Husband and I were seated together. Agent printed out boarding passes and we were separated for the flight

1 hour late No hot drinks No restroom in the back of the plane

You was on strike and I had to get another r flight and you did not give me my money back
