SriLankan just flew to Manila once when Pope Francis visited the Philippines after His Holiness' visit in Sri Lanka. Even as a religious person and an aviation geek, I hope that SriLankan Airlines will start a commercial service to the Philippines soon.
6:35 I remember when I tried my first business class ride, and the cabin crew gave us rolled hot towels. I felt like an absolute bumpkin wondering if it was food, and I had to look at the guy beside me and realized it was a towel, and still I had no idea how to use a hot towel, so I followed what he did lol 😹
Oh how I miss Sri Lanka! Hope to travel there again soon and also with Sri Lankan Airlines! It would be good to mention when this flight was made..recently? As crew were wearing masks at boarding time... but this must have been pre covid? Otherwise helpful to mention the new arrival protocols. May more travel open up soon 🙏
Hi Han, The info varies time to time. Following the the Sri Lankan Air Lines official website with details. But still the country is not fully opened for tourists but will soon as the vaccine process is started almost all over the world. www.srilankan.com/en_uk/coporate/emergency-news-detail/525
The Maldives is an unique place... so is the airport. Nowhere else can you find so many huge planes scattered on a tiny tarmac that you walk on to board!
Sri Lankan seems to be the best Govt run air carrier in the Indian subcontinent. No trip report is complete without spotting an airlines from Gulf countries - Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad
Finally FINALLY a video of our airline. I've requested this airline earlie. Fun fact : few days ago I was checking Flightradar24 and cought an a330 the same route; this might be it!
Thanks for this! I did two One World points runs on Sri Lankan in business in 2019 from DXB/AUH to CGK (Jakarta) via CMB. I only flew on their A332 and A21N, not the A333, so the seats weren't as good, but they were only 4hr legs. However, the service was always very friendly and attentive, and the food was really delicious. As to be expected, the tea selection was first class! Wouldn't hesitate to fly with UL again!
Hi please do more videos on srilankan airlines, considering you only have one video on it and I would be interested on how they fair on slightly longer flights too. Thanks
Wonderfully designed menu card. Most airlines allow their passengers to take home the menu card as a piece of memorabilia and imagine being able to take home this rich looking menu card as an avgeek!
Glad you have updated your intro music. I have never flown in business class (that will change when I turn 55 later this year) but I see no point in flying business class for such a short journey, in my opinion it's only worth spending the extra money for flights of three hours and over. Change my mind 🤣
Wonderfull flight all for free. Thanx. Amazing how still the flight was. Meaning no turbulence. Looking at the water and coffee it lies still in the cup without any wrinkle.
lol I was literally at the airport and went to the exact same lounge near the time that this video was recorded. I was flying to Qatar and then back up the US. Cool to see the airport in a video!
As a Srilankan, thank you so much Simply Aviation! I love your channel and always wanted to request a SriLankan Airlines Tripreport, but you know, the pandemic and stuff. I certainly think that it is an underrated airline, and I'm glad you enjoyed this flight. I hope you have/had a wonderful stay with us, in the Pearl of The Indian Ocean! Stay safe and best wishes!
You should mention that the airport in MLE is on its own island. Before the completion of the Chinese funded bridge, you had to take a boat to get any where whether it be your hotel or the capital city island
Thanks to all of your fantastic feedback we have now added the flight time to it as well. We hope you enjoy it! :)
Your intro is op 🔥
They Are Absoulotly Estonishing & Amazing
💙💙💙
Thanks for improving map animation, now it looks better ;)
Good intro
Thanks for listening to us, dont forget to add total flight distance
Wow, those delecious foods just for one hour flight can't belive. Amazing Sri lanka
It is my country.thanks for your kind words.
It is my Paradise in S. Asia..wonder in the sub continent...

The flight was on February 2020. Covid-19 already exist in Wuhan. So maybe they already took an extra precaution.
í flew sri lankan CMB-MEL in late january. They began to wear masks in late january in response to covid in china and india.

Sri Lanka airlines might get the new A350 which is one of the most comfortable planes in the sky
They had an order previously though...

Hi Simply Aviation. Thanks for bringing us these videos in these hard times. You are all doing an amazing job. Thank you.
Loved the intro and the whole video
Missed you guys so much❤❤❤
That’s awesome backing out onto the runway for takeoff! And I’m still loving the new intro 👍
LOVE the new intro! Also, didn’t realize your theme song was longer than 2 seconds 😆
De fato, serviços de bordo caprichado para um vôo tão curto. Parabéns à SriLankan Airlines !
Wow! Refreshed opening music! It's the first of your reports I am watching after a while. Take care peeps and keep them coming!
Really impressed to see an amenity kit on an hour long flight!
Wonderfully designed menu card. Most airlines allow their passengers to take home the menu card as a piece of memorabilia and imagine being able to take home this rich looking menu card as an avgeek!
Just before COVID changes everything... great video!
Hi! I've been your fan since 2017 I've loved your videos and I'm lucky to be early 😌 have a good day felix!

Last flight Sri Lankan airlines did not provide blankets for me & kids from doha to Colombo.
Sad to note that standards have gone down.
Today just I know where Maldives are exactly located🙈😅
Well it's your own profit I guess.
It's good you learn 1 new thing everyday :D
just love you guys!!!!!!
Such a smooth lansing!!!
