SriLankan Airlines joined the oneworld alliance a little under a year ago, which was an exciting development. I've flown SriLankan several times before they joined the oneworld alliance, and really enjoyed my flights on them. While they don't have the best product in the world, there's something really exotic about them, which makes them a…

@ Beachfan -- They're not great about releasing award space, but yes, they do make some available.
@ Joey -- You're sharp, haven't posted about it yet. 😉 But based on feedback the Qatar A319 won.
I am booked to fly Srilankan long haul coming May with my family. My preferred airline is Emirates as they have pretty good connections from where I live but as I was getting a good fare for a family of 4 I booked Srilankan(eventually EK matched the UL fare)
another disappointment for your loyal LGBT fans. We all wanted Kuwait man. On my next cc signup I am not using your link. Sad. 🙁
@ Ivan Y -- Sorry, what does flying Kuwait vs. Qatar have to do with being LGBT?
Worth pointing out that flying Sri Lankan on 3 - 5 hour hops still gets you an extremely uncomfortable regional business class seat.
It's worth pointing out that their new a330-300 only flies to China for the moment
I flew UL on the A330-300 CMB-DOH and wrote about it on FT (only UL report in the TR index). I thought it was pretty good - reverse herringbone is a very good starting point and decent lounge/food/service.
My plane spotting skills aren't great, but isn't that an A300/310 in the first picture?
Our flight in July from AUH - CMB - MLE is showing as A321 and A300-200 & reverse. Not expecting anything special with regard to seats, with any luck we will be surprised. Welcome any comments.......
@ AmandaB -- Assume you mean A330-200? If so, the A321 business class seats will be a bit like domestic first class in the US, while the A330-200 seats will hopefully be flat, or angled at worst.
hey Lucky, thank you for the review - I am flying DXB to CMB on Sri Lankan and this review comes really handy.
Does Sri Lankan has a First class lounge at DXB T1 or I'd better off using BA's? thanks 🙂
