FAQs for booking flights from India to Sri Lanka

  • Which beaches are close to the airport?

    Sri Lanka is blessed with some great beaches and the highlight is you won’t have to travel far once your flight lands in Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB). From the airport, you can reach popular beaches such as Morawala Beach in about 35min by car.

  • Are there direct flights to Sri Lanka?

    You can get a direct flight to Sri Lanka from various airports across India, making it a great option for holidays. For example, you can fly directly to Colombo Airport (CMB) from New Delhi Airport (DEL), Mumbai Airport (BOM), Chennai Airport (MAA), and Kochi Airport (COK), so you can explore the country of Sri Lanka easily.

  • What is the best airport to fly into to see Kandy Lake?

    If you want to explore the popular city of Kandy and its famous lake, then you will need to fly to Colombo Airport before continuing your journey by car or bus. A car journey takes approximately 3h 5min from the terminal building to get to this mountainous city in the rainforest.

  • What are popular stopovers on flights from India to Sri Lanka?

    Whilst there are direct flights to Sri Lanka, it might be easier for you to fly indirectly. If so, a popular stopover is Chennai Airport (MAA) on IndiGo flights from Dehli or Mumbai Airport (BOM). On flights from Dehli to Trincomalee Airport, you will likely stop at Colombo Airport with SriLankan Airlines.

  • Are there streaming services on flights from India to Sri Lanka?

    You can access streaming on a range of airlines operating this route. For example, on a flight from New Delhi to Colombo, you can get streaming entertainment with SriLankan Airlines. Meanwhile, if you’re flying from Mumbai to Colombo, streaming is provided by Malaysian Airlines, Vistara and SpiceJet.

  • Are there certain laws I should know when hiring a car from the Sri Lanka airports?

    Everyone in the hire car must wear their seat belt at all times. Whilst there are no child seat rules in the country, it’s strongly advised that small children are in a suitable child restraint when driving. You can use a mobile phone in the car but only if it is an entirely hands-free device.

  • Which airports are hubs for airlines that travel to Sri Lanka?

    New Delhi Airport (DEL), Kochi Airport (COK) and Chennai Airport all benefit from SriLankan Airlines operating flights from them to its hub in Colombo. This means that you can expect more regular direct flights and competitive pricing.

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

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from India to Sri Lanka?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from India 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 India to Sri Lanka?

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of India

  • If you're flying to Sri Lanka and you want to visit more than one city, you will first have to fly to Colombo Airport (CMB), which is the main airport on the island. You should then be able to take internal flights to other parts of the country from there.
  • The main religion in Sri Lanka is Buddhism, so beware of travelling to this country during the same time as a religious festival as it can get very busy. For example, during Duruthu Perhera, a grand temple procession, many families will be travelling to celebrate together so it’s likely flight prices will be more expensive.
  • Indian citizens can travel to Sri Lanka with ease, providing they have a valid passport and have completed the Sri Lanka Electronic Travel Authorisation before arrival. You will then get a visa on arrival which lasts for 30 days. 
  • There are two main airports you can fly to in Sri Lanka. Colombo Airport (CMB), in the west of the country, gives you access to the capital city. Meanwhile, Trincomalee Airport (TRR), in the north of the country, is the perfect place to visit for relaxing beach holidays.
  • Even though the flight is relatively fast, some airlines will include food in the booking. Vistara flights from Mumbai to Colombo Airport provide a light meal, while SriLankan Airlines provides a meal from New Delhi to Colombo. On flights from New Delhi to Trincomalee Airport, you can get meals if you fly with AirAsia India and Air India.

The flight gate was changed and all the pessengers were waiting at the gate #2 for boarding, There were 4 (four) employees standing at the boarding desk and no one ever said anything about the gate changed. Finaly when I noticed an employee was removing the boarding zone signs, it surprised me something is not right, so I went and ask that employee what happned - she said the gate has been changed. So, i questioned again which gate it would be, she told me gate #5. I look for Gate 5 - which was down stairs. When I went to gate 5 - no body was at that gate which depress me a lot because it was already a bording time pass. Later I checked on the departure screen for my flight - it was gate #1, so I had to go back again upstairs in hurry as the boarding time already pass. They never anounced or telling customer anything at the original boarding gate - WHICH WAS TOTALY STUPID. I am 77 yrs old and what they the employees and the managers care about) care about how I can handle all this going back and forth. Air India is just advertising they are getting bigger but their services are just BOGUS and I don't expect it would be any better. They are getting worst and worst than they use to be.

It was just like any other budget airline in India—nothing extraordinary. The check-in at CCU was surprisingly smooth and effortless, as expected after online check-in. But BOM? They had me join the regular check-in queue, while six Bag-Drop counters were busy doing the same thing. Makes you wonder how Vistara plans to promote web check-in if passengers end up in line anyway.

Flight was delayed more than 18 hours, checked in bag damaged, no accountability from vistara ground staff. Worst experience. Shall compensate all the charges with double Ticket refund

The flight was an hour late. There were no gate announcements or displays. After getting on the plane, there was a further delay without any explanation.

The flight was on time. I upgraded to Premium Economy and it was comfortable. The food was very good. Staff were courteous.

Flight was delayed but no announcements were made. Till the boarding it was still showing original schedule time at the monitor and also on your mobile app. It left the gate half hour later than scheduled.

It’s really very nice experience with very nice behaviour respected crews n all Vistara members thankyou so much Vistara to give us humble hospitality

My wife with 5 month son were traveling. No proper support was provided for luggage handling. Although it was requested in prior. My wife sole manage everything and was not as expected.

This was an old 320 without a screen or USB charging port even in the business class. The food could have been better.

a real good flying experince. Everything was excellent right from check-in to baggage collection at destination.

From the checking, ground handlimg was very poor.seems new personal on duty,people qho suppose to be teaching them didnt see around.new people may mislead passenger, as of flt info boards, not give proper info.even informatiin counter people dont get uptodate info.makin big ques, totally disaster.guests were not happy about it.even boarding to aircraft some BC class pax sent to aft staircase, some aft pasx sent to front door.poor ground handling.may need to improove.

Nice crew.flight delay fromBKK for some ground prep issue I guess, crew serve well to guest, and respect to guest as well. As usual AC is old,and nt much comert in compare to other rehional airliners.other than that.all good

All good, on time, depart.only bad side was, airxraft is too old to be in business.hope ailine will manage somethinv somewhat.all good

Flight was on time.food is as usual good.Aircraft is old.old A320, seats aithout any display.crew serve well

Was good, comparatively. A330, with good crew set.on time depature. And crew try there best, to make thing efficient.

Spesific ,Crew and cabin manager, look after all pax on board despite being in a old A320 equipment.Got free seat upgrade as well,but old style seats, no much comfert on it.But food and the spesific crew, was amazing.maintain airlanka standerd.the cabin manager, who was so much keen,keen operate as per SOP.

Was got free upgrade, on old A320.aircraft is out dated kind of.bt service ,cabin manager, tried there best.and food was excelent.

When flying from Indian Sector, should be more prepared with Indian food

KAYAK Real time status update is not accurate.the flight inbound rejected and go around.and came back and land. Delay abt 30 min.still shows ontime.track ur self if u wana real time.and cabin crew s are nicer. Aircraft is jst ok.old airplane.and in midflight ,seems have some compressor issue.airconditioning was nt work properly either.I could litarary see guests were cheking if AC is working.bt on landing it start to gv cool.which probably some one intentionaly kept .which was so bad.even breathing was bit difficult.otjer than that.for me all ok.

This leg of the trip was smoother than compared to the initial trip. Sri Lankan Airlines still have much work to do to improve the overall travel experience.

Terrible experience at IST airport due to mismanagement by ground and wheelchair staff.

Some seats don’t recline. No USB port or power outlet, no inflight WIFI - not even for SMS/Messaging apps. Ontime performance was very good. They should have at least one crew member who speaks the local language, for flights like these.

Some seats don’t recline. No USB port or power outlet, no inflight WIFI - not even for SMS/Messaging apps. Ontime performance was very good.

Although we took the XL seats with more width, we found that you do not have a seat in front to stow your personal item, nor can you stretch your legs. This is not the best option for a comfortable seat. Boarding was timely but disorganized without any row based entry.

Not professional and didn’t know about double seat even when I paid for it and have a confirmation. Lack of comms between teams.

deboarding is very poor after landing it took around 45 minutes to come out.

My baggage bag got broken and only 3000 voucher was given for compensation

Crew members forgot to serve sandwiches after serving the coffee. Worst was the handling of bag. One of wheel was Broken making it useless. Though a complaint was registered and assured of compensation voucher equal to part cost of the new bag.

The seats are horrible and pathetic. The flight was delayed by over an hour as they did not have the crew

Please don’t send survey questions on Indigo flights. 90% of booking, check in, Boarding work is done by the passenger. So those questions are irrelevant

Why should I rate entertainment if I’ve not used? You don’t have NA - Not Applicable option.

my experience with kayak was terrible. Team kayak just left me with a booking and limbo and preffered not to contact me.. Instead when I contacted the team they said the booking is cancelled. Seriously 5 days after booking u were waiting of my call to inform me of the incompetence of the team. This will be taken up with higher authorities

only passenger seats are too much narrow. It’s not comfortable otherwise it’s good. Seats are very important because it’s main in Travel

Miss my flight from delhi to amritsar due to lock the luggage door of airplane.and there was no more flight even for next days and they not refund the fare. I took bus grom delhi.. bad experiance.

very run down aircraft. seat tilted. the mobile / magazine holder was broken. The entertainment screen was not working. The crew was good, polite and helpful

Boarding was through bus even though aerobridges were empty. Major mess

Food is good, staff is good... Wi-fi quality is poor, disembarkment after landing is atrocious.

Flight crew was lovely. Bathrooms should have been cleaner. The handsets in business class for watching the entertainment are horrible. Very difficult to figure out which buttons are for what. I managed to get the flight maps on my screen but it wasn't easy. Never got anything else up.

Uneventful trip. Good flight crew. Food could have been better and a bit more of it. Cabin cleanliness was ok.

Extremely bad experience compared to Vistara. No priority in check in, no priority for boarding. No upgrade. Seat selection is paid. Curtains were dirty. Demo bag was dirty. Warmth of the crew was missing.
