Sri Lankan Airlines
I need info regarding Sri Lankan airlines. I found a really great deal on a flight from Doha to Kuala Lumpur (roundtrip) and I want to know what people think of this airline.
Give me the good, bad, and ugly info about them. How are they with kids? Qatar Airways has spoiled my children, so they now expect video entertainment, toys, and junk food onboard.
Thanks!
Minoush,try Air Asia or JetStar & as Colt rightly pointed out,book now!...
Air Asia... they are good and cheap! Book fast!
again?
Here's part two of my question...we need to travel within Malaysia from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi and back. Can anyone tell me of a good regional airline to take within Malaysia or another way to get to Langkawi? If not by plane, the bus or ferry needs to be well enough equipped (i.e cold A/C, clean bathrooms, clean,comfy seats) Thanks!!
QR is a plain rip-off & btw,kids can tell genuine smiles from fake plastic ones,that ought to make up for whatever else is lacking eh?!...
Thank you for the positive answers! It really is so much cheaper. $445 compared to Qatar Airways at $823. Half price!The kids will just have to suffer through....Of course, they complain any time we fly as we came to Doha in business class, so nothing will ever compare!!
What a Magnificent Airline! I would like to thank you so very much. What a magnificent airline! I can't believe that you provide food on a 45 minute flight.........Air Hostess are very kind and good with kids..I will always be a huge fan of your airline, you are the best........All the best.
Just go ahead, you will get the best return for your money. I doubt the video gaming facility for children on board. Still it is a good airline. Also you can have a stopover in Colombo and enjoy the greenery. Wish u a nice trip!
I have flown Srilankan Airlines a couple of times.Good Airline and good service.The cabin crew WILL actually greet you with an actual smile as soon as you board.The transit at Colombo airport can be tiring if you have a long layoff.But you get a room within the airport itself if you want to relax a bit.
Just go ahead, no doubt, you will get the best
I'm Indonesian and I love to fly Srilankan Airlines.. Last month I fly Doha-Singapore-Doha with my family, we decide to choose Srilankan coz the airfare is only half compare QR. The service is equals with the airfare, but for us at least the flight is smooth, no delay and arrived safely at the destination.. Try it, you won't regret..
@ Minoush,you left out one significant detail,the fare on SriLankan is FAR lower than that of Qatar airways,i.e there are no "really great deals" to be had on QR fares...i've flown SriLankan & their hostess' are far more genuine than the plastic ones on QR...don't know about the video entertainment & toys,as for junk food,isn't there enough of that on the ground?! do kids have to eat it on a flight as well?!...there's a reason it's called "junk" food y'know!...from my personal experience,i think you'll have a pleasant flight,go ahead & book it...happy travels!...
Good Airlines. Air Hostess are very kind and they are good with kids. Sure you will enjoy flying on Srilankan Airlines.
it could be boring if no entertainment on board.
