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.

  • How do I get to Sigiriya, the Lion Rock?

    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?

    Singapore Airlines provides the most reliable service out of all the airlines that connect Sri Lanka and Canada. If you want to boost the reliability of buying tickets from Canada to Sri Lanka, Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is the finest choice to take into account as your departure airport. This airport serves as a hub for a number of airlines that provide international flights to Sri Lanka.

  • Where should one fly to if they wish to enjoy watching games in Sri Lanka?

    Flying into CMB Airport is something you might want to do if you're visiting Sri Lanka and intend to attend local sporting events. The largest and capital city of Sri Lanka, Colombo City, is where the majority of the country's stadiums are found. Particularly on weekends, you can watch your favorite regional sporting events at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium and NR Premadasa Sports Pavilion. The existence of the rail system, taxis, buses, and rental cars allows for the accessibility of these stadiums from CMB Airport.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Canada 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 Canada to Sri Lanka.

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

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from Canada 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 Canada to Sri Lanka?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly from Canada 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 Canada 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 Canada to Sri Lanka up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

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.

I love to travel again and again in Emirates. Keep up the good work.

My baby was with me it was really good experience with emirates

Very nice experience in business class. Flight attendants were attentive. Foods and beverages were very good.

Flight and entertainment great. Food needs to be improved, only one choice on the menu. Staff worked well throughout.

Love that you can walk directly to your gate from the Emirates Business class lounge, very convenient

Warm staff, very responsive service. Well furnished cabin and comfortable seat and amenities. Excellent onboard wifi connection and very large comfortable restrooms.

Great flight - Clubhouse met our needs, and the staff provided good service. Boarding felt a little chaotic, but given the size of the aircraft, it's always going to be challenging. Whilst the crew were friendly, the number of passengers meant that we received our breakfast items, but had finished breakfast before we were served a drink. Lunch was much better organised, and throughout the flight, the crew were attentive. Found the seats and ICE to be excellent. Disembarkation was fine, and everything possible to expedite the process was being done.

Super flight. On time departure and arrival. Very good service. Luggage arrival at DXB was a little delayed but you can’t have everything the very best :)

Crew were very good. Food service was a little slow and disappointing not having on demand dining and only 3 options. Amenity kits and pyjamas were excellent.

I spent 45 minutes with supervisor trying to get 2 bags checked for this international flight . He wouldn’t give it to me because West Jet was involved in this booking.

Missed our flight with Cathay due to late Westjet plane and chaotic Toronto airport. Had to clear customs get bags and re check bags in an hour. Did not make it got lost not clear signage with bag drop off. West jet only allowed 1 checked bag for this international fluid. Cathay checked my second bag for free.

Everything and everyone were excellent except for the charge for using WiFi; there was no escape from this fee except to not use it.

I booked wheel chair for my mother but she was told to walk by herself in the middle of her way to the gate. She had to board a connecting flight under a time crunch and this was unfair to leave her to walk. Other than that they had no complains about anything else.

Great. We received a meal even though it was a short flight.

Boarding on any airline is a hot mess. Load your pivilaged passengers, then back to front. Back to front.

Multiple late or canceled flights. Lounge was 100 degrees. Food was terrible. The plane was incredibly old, and best of all, a screaming child for 3 hours. All for the low low price of $2,600 one way Hanoi to Shanghai. No idea how Cathay is ranked so high. Cathay is not much better than American Airlines or Spirit. In the future I will go out of my way to not fly Cathay.

The vegan oriental option was disappointing. The regular vegan option was okay but we've had better.

The flight experience was good for a long flight over the pole, but it got my wife to the Far East in time.

Problems with entertainment system eventually rectified. Cabin crew attentive and polite but a bit absent minded when it came to remembering requests, salt, sugar etc.

Qatar Airways has gone down over the last few years.

Extremely uncomfortable seats with very little cushioning, unable to recline enough to sleep comfortably on this 13 hour overnight flight. My body was in pain by the end.

Charged extra amount for the baggage wait. Even it’s less than 23kgs. Those machines are showing wrong weight and they were charging money wantedly from everyone.

Flight departed punctually on time. Unfortunately it seems because the destination airport is a secondary airport the airline sees it fit to operate a plane with lower comfort and offerings. There was no inflight entertainment, wifi or let alone a screen to at least track flight status for remaining flight time.

The seat cushions are absolutely lacking, not sure if they know the passengers are traveling for 14 hours straight, but the padding made our back and butt ache like crazy. The entertainment console had its own problems, either the headphone jack wasn't working or the power outlet via usb or ac outlet was not working. Not to mention the seat handles were not adjustable in some planes in the middle or on the aisle. Qatar/Indigo may be operating a very old fleet of planes to make as much profit as possible, but passengers may not be following them for long, should this treatment of its customers continue. Qatar/Indigo, wake up and do it right by your customers, or they may not be your customers anymore.

Looks like a local flight. Food was horrible. No entertainment system.

All great, because I was given a seat with extra legroom on this part of my trip.

I wish I knew in advance that the connecting flight was by indigo air

I appreciated the vailability of wheelchair services for persons with mobility issues all the way up to the aircraft. What could be better would be the food choices.

Very efficient and professional staff. Food was good and so was entertainment selection.

I booked tickets for a family of five and specifically paid extra to select our seats together. We spent nearly $1,000 extra (around $100 per seat) for extra legroom so we could sit near each other. However, despite paying for this, we ended up being separated on the flight. This caused a major issue for our family because my parents do not speak English and rely on me to translate and assist them during the journey. I do not understand why Etihad changed our reserved seats without explanation. I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. I expect the airline to do better, and I am requesting a full refund for the seat selection fees we paid.

Unfortunately the flight was cancelled so I never got to go

The seats seemed smaller than other business class offerings. The entertainment menu was limited. Flight crew was good.

Food quality and varites were very minimum. Surprised to have no desserts. Business class tickets should have lounge access and seats selection. They should be allowed to board while people with wheel chair, secial assistance and family with childrem.

Awful the whole airline arrived to check baggage and board our flight and the airline desk was closed where none of the passengers could check in baggage, asked for a supervisor and was refused a supervisor, called the airlines from the airport and they refused to refund the flights for their actions in the airport, Etihad and Garuda Airlines absolutely horrible customer service all the way around.

I liked the crew, the food and the foot space. I did not like the comfort of the seats.

Early arrival. Good boarding. Deplaning this flight is very slow both coming and going. Baggage arrived quickly for Pearson

Ethiad wanted to charge me $1100 for 2 checked bags on a ticket that was $550. Nother the airline or airfare assist was willing to help before arriving at the airport. All parties said it was the other responsibility to help. Never flying ethiad or using kayak again.

No entertainment except on app. No outlets working to charge. Good service

Good flight. There were a few issues with the flat bed. It was some technical issues. Otherwise everything was good

Baggage check is an aggravation. We had four 4 bags, if a bag is just .10 of a kilo you cannot check it on AC self baggage check. It is not possible to check the weight of the bag at the self checking. Should you check a bag that is under the limit it will go right through and you can’t get it back to redistribute weight from a heavier bag.

I cannot think how they could put more seats together but they did. So elbow to elbow leg to leg for these long journeys they should consider leg space at least. Since they did not offer to check people's carry one space was tight and if you did not get on first people used your assigned overhead storage so now your doing these same to another. Cascading inconvenience.

Despite exit row seating, which gave leg room, seating was so narrow, the next passenger spilled over onto my seat. WiFi did not work.

It was okay. The seating didn’t give you much space especially when you book a premium. It was still pretty close. The seats had no screens which was a disappointment. The crew was awesome though. Again I wish the wait between families with children boarding and general boarding was a little longer to give families some time to get situated especially those bringing a stroller like myself or for solo parents travelling like myself who has to do everything. The time between boarding zones especially with chilling is so short, I had to gate check my stroller and did not have enough time to pull it down and transport my luggage inside all while having my infant strapped to me or to even ask a flight attendant to assist as they’re busy with the the general boarding going on

Complimentary food options could be better. There should be a little wait between people boarding with children under 6 and the rest of the boarding. There isn’t enough time to get yourself situated before take off.

Flight itself was not bad at all. However: my checked bag (checked in Calgary) did not make it onto this flight as I found out after I landed at EWR. I still don't have it but it appears that it is on its way to me.

I was tired enough to fall asleep soon after takeoff and slept until "we are starting our descent to Toronto" announcement. That's not bad at all.

Very tight seats - no legroom at all, very tight to the person in front of you. If you have basic fare, you are loading zone 6 regardless of where you are sitting in the plane - meaning even as a middle aisle person at the front of the plane, I had to get people to get up and let me in as they had boarded earlier. Having to pay for a carry on is criminal. I am a frequent flyer, and air Canada has now joined the list of other terrible North American Airlines.

The crew was amazing! I was a bit surprised and disappointed that there was not wifi available for personal use. The only thing I would change would be the seat cushions. They are not comfortable at all for long flights.

Flight and attendance were very good we had 2 hour delay that took the shine of it
