Q; We would like to visit Sri Lanka and have been checking for reasonable airline tickets. As there are no direct flights, we are looking at flying via the Middle East on Emirates or Etihad. Do you have any other suggestions? - Des Reddy
A: Etihad and Emirates are good Middle East choices, but you can also check Qatar Airways via Doha. It flies direct from Doha to Colombo in five hours. If you are building up Voyager miles, then you can fly SAA to Mumbai and then take Sri Lankan Airlines or one of the Indian budget airlines to Colombo. However, using a single airline is usually more cost-effective. If you are struggling to get seats, then you could also try flying via Singapore (with Singapore Airlines) and Bangkok (on Thai International). There are a number of budget airlines that fly to Colombo from Singapore and Bangkok, including Tiger Air and Airasia.
