Oh how I miss Sri Lanka! Hope to travel there again soon and also with Sri Lankan Airlines! It would be good to mention when this flight was made..recently? As crew were wearing masks at boarding time... but this must have been pre covid? Otherwise helpful to mention the new arrival protocols. May more travel open up soon 🙏
Hi Han, The info varies time to time. Following the the Sri Lankan Air Lines official website with details. But still the country is not fully opened for tourists but will soon as the vaccine process is started almost all over the world. www.srilankan.com/en_uk/coporate/emergency-news-detail/525
6:35 I remember when I tried my first business class ride, and the cabin crew gave us rolled hot towels. I felt like an absolute bumpkin wondering if it was food, and I had to look at the guy beside me and realized it was a towel, and still I had no idea how to use a hot towel, so I followed what he did lol 😹
SriLankan just flew to Manila once when Pope Francis visited the Philippines after His Holiness' visit in Sri Lanka. Even as a religious person and an aviation geek, I hope that SriLankan Airlines will start a commercial service to the Philippines soon.
The Maldives is an unique place... so is the airport. Nowhere else can you find so many huge planes scattered on a tiny tarmac that you walk on to board!
Sri Lankan seems to be the best Govt run air carrier in the Indian subcontinent. No trip report is complete without spotting an airlines from Gulf countries - Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad
Hi please do more videos on srilankan airlines, considering you only have one video on it and I would be interested on how they fair on slightly longer flights too. Thanks
Finally FINALLY a video of our airline. I've requested this airline earlie. Fun fact : few days ago I was checking Flightradar24 and cought an a330 the same route; this might be it!
Thanks for this! I did two One World points runs on Sri Lankan in business in 2019 from DXB/AUH to CGK (Jakarta) via CMB. I only flew on their A332 and A21N, not the A333, so the seats weren't as good, but they were only 4hr legs. However, the service was always very friendly and attentive, and the food was really delicious. As to be expected, the tea selection was first class! Wouldn't hesitate to fly with UL again!
You should mention that the airport in MLE is on its own island. Before the completion of the Chinese funded bridge, you had to take a boat to get any where whether it be your hotel or the capital city island
lol I was literally at the airport and went to the exact same lounge near the time that this video was recorded. I was flying to Qatar and then back up the US. Cool to see the airport in a video!
Wonderfull flight all for free. Thanx. Amazing how still the flight was. Meaning no turbulence. Looking at the water and coffee it lies still in the cup without any wrinkle.
Glad you have updated your intro music. I have never flown in business class (that will change when I turn 55 later this year) but I see no point in flying business class for such a short journey, in my opinion it's only worth spending the extra money for flights of three hours and over. Change my mind 🤣
Wonderfully designed menu card. Most airlines allow their passengers to take home the menu card as a piece of memorabilia and imagine being able to take home this rich looking menu card as an avgeek!
Hello Simply Aviation! Great video as always! On 14 October you will be on the last Alitalia flight, right? And please, document one of the first flights of ITA - Italia Trasporto Aereo! ;)
I was just watching your EgyptAir 787-9 video from Paris Charles-de-Gaulle-Cairo when all of a sudden this popped up! And it’s in business-class!! I watched your vueling, Hainan, EgyptAir, ANA and this one, as well as many others I can’t even remember *TODAY* :D I knew that the video was just uploaded from the new intro ;) Which is in my opinion awesome! 👏 The engine roar was 👌🤙 Greetings 😉❤️
Thanks to all of your fantastic feedback we have now added the flight time to it as well. We hope you enjoy it! :)

The flight was on February 2020. Covid-19 already exist in Wuhan. So maybe they already took an extra precaution.
í flew sri lankan CMB-MEL in late january. They began to wear masks in late january in response to covid in china and india.
Hi
imwouldnt recommend it
Last time I was this early we could still travel normally
Also the roar from the engines, it’s just beautiful!
Trent version i reckon

Sri Lanka airlines might get the new A350 which is one of the most comfortable planes in the sky
They had an order previously though...

@J. oh thanks for the reply, J!! Appreciate it.
Why didn't they say Ayubuwaan while boarding?😔

For some announcements.
Thank you for flying with Sri lankan. Be happy and Be safe.❤
Finally btw I'm a big fan of you from Maldives ❤️
Nice trip report! It's interesting that the plane took off without taxiing. Their service was so good for a 1-hour-flight
Great vid! Interesting to see Roman Abramovich’s private 767 (P4-MES) parked on the ramp too!
Just stopped by for the in flight meal. 10:07. Looked delicious.
Thank you for choosing Sri Lankan Air lines 🇱🇰❤️
Today just I know where Maldives are exactly located🙈😅
Well it's your own profit I guess.
It's good you learn 1 new thing everyday :D
මං ආසම music එක cabin එකෙන් ඇහෙනවා 🥺😍
Please add back the engine sound during the flightpath map in the intro
Great video, back to good memories ❤... I used to travel this route every three months... So badly missed old days....😒😢

De fato, serviços de bordo caprichado para um vôo tão curto. Parabéns à SriLankan Airlines !
When you come to India please do a TRIPREPORT of TRUJET (ultra low cost carrier), their fleet is 4 aircrafts with ATR 72-500 AND 72-600
3 days I travelled back from male.. This video is a good piece for reminiscence.

Thanks For Sharing
Same,I visited during Aug holidays btw
Super video !! That was such a long croissant lol ✈️✈️
LOVE the new intro! Also, didn’t realize your theme song was longer than 2 seconds 😆
You should mention that the airport in MLE is on its own island. Before the completion of the Chinese funded bridge, you had to take a boat to get any where whether it be your hotel or the capital city island
i had to check twice to make sure i was watching the correct video when i heard a different intro lol
That’s awesome backing out onto the runway for takeoff! And I’m still loving the new intro 👍
I feel so good watching your videos!
Last flight Sri Lankan airlines did not provide blankets for me & kids from doha to Colombo.
Sad to note that standards have gone down.
Im so gald that u enjoy Srilankan hospitality...
Welcome to my country 😍.. please eat lots of things also for me 😞
Hi! I've been your fan since 2017 I've loved your videos and I'm lucky to be early 😌 have a good day felix!
lol I was literally at the airport and went to the exact same lounge near the time that this video was recorded. I was flying to Qatar and then back up the US. Cool to see the airport in a video!
Wow! Refreshed opening music! It's the first of your reports I am watching after a while. Take care peeps and keep them coming!
Love the map in the intro!
Beautiful work👍

I've been waiting for 3 years for you to visit the maldives
Beautiful Sri Lankan airlines 💛❤️💙
Hi Simply Aviation. Thanks for bringing us these videos in these hard times. You are all doing an amazing job. Thank you.
I always use this route to my home country when I have holiday at Male
Man! Love the intro!!! Keep it that way! 🙌🏼😀 greetings from Puerto Rico!
Just before COVID changes everything... great video!
Loved the intro and the whole video
Missed you guys so much❤❤❤
Love this intro! Gives a better idea of what the overall flight is!
Do you planning to come to Indonesia again??
Really impressed to see an amenity kit on an hour long flight!
Wonderfully designed menu card. Most airlines allow their passengers to take home the menu card as a piece of memorabilia and imagine being able to take home this rich looking menu card as an avgeek!
Oh the pre-Covid days, man I miss those days.
Your Emirates and Etihad videos are so good
Hello Simply Aviation! Great video as always! On 14 October you will be on the last Alitalia flight, right? And please, document one of the first flights of ITA - Italia Trasporto Aereo! ;)
Yes i love the new intro the new intro is thr best and your are the best simply avitaion plane
Was that squeak noise coming from the aircraft during take off?
Wait so the plane doesn't need to taxi When the engines are on then plane takes off I like that
I was there 4th October 2022. UL116 A320. They gave us calzones.
Quality and Excellence ... ✈️
Isn't Male-Colombo about as long as...say, Chicago (O'Hare)-Toronto (Pearson)?
Der Flug war im Februar 2020 und die Crew hat schon Masken getragen. Der Flug war wohl ziemlich genau zu dem Zeitpunkt als es gerade los ging. 😕
Thank You for choosing #srilankanairlines Our national carrier.
Best intro!!!!!!
What an intro my friend. Love it
I was just watching your EgyptAir 787-9 video from Paris Charles-de-Gaulle-Cairo when all of a sudden this popped up! And it’s in business-class!!
I watched your vueling, Hainan, EgyptAir, ANA and this one, as well as many others I can’t even remember *TODAY* :D
I knew that the video was just uploaded from the new intro ;) Which is in my opinion awesome! 👏
The engine roar was 👌🤙
Greetings 😉❤️
It's always a good day when Simply Aviation uploads a new video
Getting 104 likes within 12 minutes after upload is not bad. :)
Always good view, always good quality, always the same feelings, always good video, thank you for all of your video
Love the new intro and music
