Sri Lanka is fast becoming a place on most people’s must see list (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-01-04/where-to-…)

Here is a cheap way to get there with Thai over the travel period February to November 2017 (with blackout periods that do apply).

Sydney to Colombo – $803 (via Bangkok with a 7 hr layover on the outbound leg and a 11 hr layover on the return leg home)

Melbourne to Colombo – $845 (via Bangkok with a 1 hr layover on the outbound leg and a 1 hr layover on the leg home)

For those departing from Sydney with long layovers. Australian passport holders can receive a free visa on arrival and that be used to jump on the airport rail link and head into Siam square in downtown Bangkok for a meal, shopping at MBK, Paragon etc.

To book, please visit www.momondo.com

Happy travel :)

      Just got back from there 2 weeks ago and judging by the amount of tourists there its definatley growing in popularity. I go back there regularly to see family (every 2 years or so) as I am originally from there :)

      Anyway updated the original post as you asked. Thanks!

        The misspelling of definitely doesn't seem to be waning in popularity across the interwebs though i see. ;)

          I've also seen defiantly which is probably an autocorrect fail.

      • chutibuti on 13/02/2017 - 21:24

        Yes, beautiful country, hundreds of places to visit, small country though.. I'll be going there every few years.. never had any issue. Cant complain about the hospitality..

    That's what I hear as well, it's certainly on my bucket list.

    via Bangkok with a 7 hr layover

    Sex tour?

      what do you do with the other 6 hrs 50 mins?

        what do you do with the other 6 hrs 50 mins?

        I lay over, it's kind of like a flyover but with laying.

      Nope. Have no affiliation. But momondo is my preferred search engine when looking for cheap deals. I also sometimes use skyscanner which is pretty good as well.

    Just did three weeks there over Dec/Jan. Had a great time and would definitely recommend it!

      Didn't like it? Where did you visit?

    • King Tightarse on 13/02/2017 - 09:09

      Would really like to hear more about your experience.
      What happened?

    • Bullion78 on 13/02/2017 - 09:36

      Did you get robbed at knifepoint or something? Must have been a pretty horrific experience to want to leave sri lanka.. I hope you got out of Colombo at least because of that's the case, any wonder you bailed.

    • FUZHA on 13/02/2017 - 10:30

      Would have been more informative, if you had mentioned what made you cut it short. Or else this is just rant?

      • j4ck on 16/02/2017 - 09:12

        He didn't respond and elaborate. Probably just talking shit…

    I've posted this before, but Colombo is a great place to get a return flight to Europe on business class from airlines like Qatar and Emirates and Royal Saudi. I got a $1500 return on Qatar, business class, a lot cheaper than originating from Australia.

    • james2k on 13/02/2017 - 10:41

      second that. Add Etihad to that list as well.

    • retiredfeline on 13/02/2017 - 21:33

      I think I've also asked this before, but what are layover times in Colombo airport like for this sort of combination? I didn't find the airport attractive.

      • totsydeal on 13/02/2017 - 22:55

        Negombo (10 mins from Airport) has many nice restaurants to get a good meal with a nice view. Seafood ! Yum !! Nice place to kill time instead of stuck in Colombo city traffic. If you have more than day, I'd recommend visiting Kandy (100km / 3 hr drive). On the way you can visit Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.

    • Duram on 14/02/2017 - 09:52

      1500 return to melbourne? or 1500 return to Colombo then back to aus?

      • Wampus on 14/02/2017 - 10:01

        1500 return Colombo to London, on Qatar business. It's quite cheap to get to Colombo from Aus via KL or Singapore

        • Duram on 14/02/2017 - 10:16

          All that added flight time means you end up spending 16+ hours on non business anyway lol.

        • Wampus on 14/02/2017 - 10:36

          @Duram: 12 hours, on Scoot "business"

  • parcus on 13/02/2017 - 19:29

      AirAsia is cheaper

  • Usher9387 on 14/02/2017 - 00:12

    I just visited Colombo last week, really nice place and people are very helpful but bear in mind it's quite expensive compared to any other Asian countries standard. I am not sure why they charge everything in US$ they convert into SL rupees.

    Just a take away (for two)from local restaurant cost me $30 AUD. Another day I was in the mall having fried rice cost me $10AUD. Lot of other Asian countries, you can live with $20AUD/Day.

    I felt really I need to to be rich to spend another week in Sri Lanka.

    • iamdragoon on 14/02/2017 - 00:56

      you obviously have not looked harder.

      I go there all the time and never have issues

    Sri Lanka is the best. I would really recommend going. Sigiriya Rock is one magnificent piece of history that you MUST see at least once in your life. Then there's Adam's Peak where a rock formation that looks like a footprint is said to be the footprint of Adam. Sri Lanka is also the largest producer of colored gems so if you are into colored stones, it will be heaven for you. There are also great beaches and loads and loads of historical sites.

      When they build the Kamahl theme park, I'll go

      • almond crunch on 15/02/2017 - 10:34

        but … but … shouldn't that be built in Malaysia? :P

        • King Tightarse on 15/02/2017 - 18:56

          You are 100% correct.
          I don't know why I thought Sri Lanka. Maybe it was all those Dilmah ads he used to do for "Ceylon" tea. Anyway, Wikipedia shows Mr Kamahl was definitely born in Malaysia :)

        • Wampus on 16/02/2017 - 10:26

          @King Tightarse: I'll go to the Limahl theme park instead. I heard the lines there are "Neverending"

  • coolc on 15/02/2017 - 17:51

    Cathay pacific and Malaysian air lines are around same price with less layover.

    Last week i bought 2 tickets from cathay for $ 800 each.
