Hi there,

I always prefer Srilankan airlines, but I had really a bad experience this time Last Sunday.
My original flight was from Melbourne to Delhi, (UL 605 & UL191), on 4th Dec 2022, via change over in Colombo, but the flight from Colombo was cancelled and the new flight given was Air India(AI284), for Colombo to Delhi.

As I had to go even further and had another flight booked from Delhi to Amritsar...

Address: SRI LANKAN <-CHANGI AIRPORT

I had a flight from Singapore to Mumbai via Colombo on 2nd oct, 20:10 pm. I had an active PNR but was still denied boarding even though I had reached the airport at 5:30 in the evening. At the check in counter I was in communication with two people, Shankar ( SRI LANKAN AIRLINES) and Krishnamala ( DNATA CSO). Both these people confused me all together and didn't issue boarding passes giving random reasons. At 7:30 pm I went to the ticketing...

Customer service

We booked tickets with Srilankan Airlines in March to travel from Melbourne to Kochi on 10/09/2022. We also booked our seats as well, as we are travelling with small kids. Now we noticed that all our seat reservations have been removed without informing us. We contacted airline offices at Melbourne and Srilanka to fix this and unfortunately both customer service officers were extremely unhelpful and rude and simply said they cant do anything...
