Fares and tips
This is a high-value route, so routing matters. A one-stop connection through Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or the Gulf is usually best value; indicative fares start near LKR 330,000 return and rise sharply in December and mid-year. Book 2–4 months ahead for the best price. Students and migrants often have extra baggage needs — we'll match you to the right fare and allowance.
