I arrived at Colombo Airport shortly after 7:30AM, plenty early for my 9:55AM flight to Dubai. Colombo Airport has tight security, as you have to go through two security screenings before they even let you into the check-in hall. Emirates' check-in counter was located at the far left of the terminal, and was busy, given…

Hey lucky
The second paragraph maybe has a typo....I think it’s presence instead of present????
If you’re leaving on let’s say Etihad as an example, I know EY uses that contract lounge.
As a JAL sapphire, can I access the Sri Lankan Airlines lounge with a guest? Or do I have to be traveling on OneWorld?
Better than one of the PP lounges I visited last May (was either Lotus or the "Executive Lounge") where the 'champagne' option was Andre...seriously.
Hi Ben,
I'll be taking the evening flight to Dubai at the end of next month. Have you reviewed that flight before? Would be interested to see what the food options are on the plane. Eating in lounge vs eating on plane to Dubai?
Thanks!
"Even though boarding was nowhere close to starting, the monitor already indicated “final call.”"
Is the time on the board wrong? It says 9:55 am...or were you one of the last to board?
@Steve S
Emirates has sample menus on their website. You can search for both the flight and the cabin you'll be in.
You can complain the decor in this lounge is outdated, but if you've seen the contract lounge Etihad and others use at Colombo this looks absolutely palatial.
@Craig you need to be flying a Oneworld airline to access any Oneworld lounge through your status. So you wouldn't be able to access the Sri Lankan lounge if flying Etihad
One of my least favourite airports. The lounge looks fine, compared to the rest of it.
Flights from Changi always seem to do that too - one moment it says, "Gate Open" on the board, then suddenly, "Final Call" with no "Boarding" in between. Huh? I've hauled it from T3 lounge to B gates because of that "Final Call" even though it isn't really (since that is still about 30-40 minutes prior to stated departure time). Just a little psychological pressure?
@relidtim Shaved Head Guy is indeed upset because he didn't get the memo about (a.) flashy 1990s hip-hop pants or (b.) no black socks with shorts or knee-length pants.
Who was at reception wearing a robe with a guy in shorts?
Typical?
Are you sure you weren't in the outdated EK lounge at BKK?
Those hideous outdated brown lounges, must have been a sale on at the time, they are the same as the hideous outdated brown lounges in UL's CMB Serendib Lounge
I am flying into Colombo on Saturday at 6 am. I would like to use lounge facilities to shower and rest for a few hours. I am flying with Sri Lankan airlines from Doha. What do I have access to and how much does it cost? Thank you in advance.
