recently flew SriLankan to Colombo from Thailand and then onto Chennai in economy, having flown with them several times before. The aircraft flown was a youthful A340. One thing that really does impress me about SriLankan is the modernity and cleanliness of its entire fleet which gives the passenger some reassurance with regards to safety.
I found the SriLankan staff to be absolutely wonderful. Beautiful, friendly, helpful and very smiley. Food served was amongst the best meals I’ve experienced in economy - high quality and deserve to get 4 or 5 stars award, and I could choose between Western and Sri Lankan food. They came around frequently offering drinks which other airlines do only once. I have to give the inflight entertainment system a special thumbs up. Personal TV screens were large with a good selection of movies, documentaries, sitcoms, music etc which kept me busy for most of the flight.
If you get the chance, fly with SriLankan to India and see the difference compared to Air India or domestic carrier Indian Airlines. I will be flying with SriLankan in the future.
Departure
Outward flight from Bangkok and Colombo departed on time, Check in at Bangkok great.
Seating / Cabin
A340 - seating very bright and clean, looked very modern. Seating is good - lots of leg room - PTVs!
Food
Food and bar service on both flights were excellent.
Service
Bangkok Colombo with excellent, friendly crew. Colombo to Chennai was the same.
Arrival
In Colombo - on time. Luggage at claim areas quickly. In Chennai, arrived a few minutes before.
guys.
this ailine I can warmly recommend from europe to bkk, or hkg to bkg.
above rating is not from me, but I can truly second that.
it is 2 notches better than emirates, my previous favourite.

I like flying in the A340. The -600 is even better my pilot friends tell me.
I can get quite a good deal with Sri-Lankan.
I will definitely try your advice.
Cheers

I specially liked:
the clean, new aircraft
the very friendly, charming service
the free flow drinks
the inflight entertainment
the farang pilots
the 2 empty seats next to me
the food (usually I don't eat)
the bonus miles on Skywards
the price
trust me, I have flown various airlines, to europe, hong kong, china and the usa.
sri lankan is currently the best.
does not fly to the us (yet).
for those with more cash, best deals on business and first to and from europe. seems to be upgrade friendly if full.

Not too suprising that the equipment is fresh. The Tamil Tigers have blown up most of the old shit on the tarmac at Colombo over the years.

rtb,
Good to hear positive reports about UL. Did you know that it is part owned and managed by your previous favourite, EK?

I have done UK - Colombo a few times both Emirates and Sri-Lankan. both are very good, I used to rate Emirates no1 but have to agree that Sri-Lankan, especialy in business is now No1. Also in the UK both airlines share the same air miles program.

I know. that's why I get the miles. I have to try them for a long haul next time.
yorkie,
for me I just thought that EK has lost a bit in quality and service whereas lankan is still up there. man there was a real cutie serving me 2 weeks ago, damn chicken, I didn't pull the question, didn't have a teddy bear either, that usually breaks the ice. she wasn't chubby either. I hope we meet again.
