Can I make a 2 hours connection at CMB on an international flight?
2 hours clears the 60-minute international minimum connection time at Bandaranaike International, but you should still head directly to your gate. Most connecting passengers stay within Terminal 1, walking between gates after a security re-screening point near the transit desk. Terminal 2, opened to relieve congestion, is a separate building reached by a shuttle bus or a longer outdoor walk, and passengers connecting between the two terminals should allow extra time as it is not directly linked airside.
How much time do I need for a layover at CMB?
We recommend at least 1 hour for a comfortable connection at Bandaranaike International. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 20 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 20 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at CMB?
SriLankan Airlines maintains a transit/rebooking desk near the departure gates in Terminal 1 for passengers who miss connections on their network; for other airlines, contact your carrier's ground handling desk immediately after clearing the transit security checkpoint.
