It's time to review SriLankan Airlines long haul business class in their old format A330 from Dubai through to Colombo.
Let's start by taking a look at the positives:
- Great value for money with just $300 paid for the sector to Colombo as part of a wider booking
- Sector earned 140 tier points with the British Airways Executive Club scheme which is ust short of 10% of the points required to earn top tier status with BA and the One World Alliance.
- Great onboard service from a warm and welcoming crew
- Really good food service with lots of choice and served quickly which was welcome given the 23:00 departure
- Arlan Business Class lounge offers a really good overall experience for a generic airline lounge, credit to SriLankan Airlines for securing this for their passengers at DXB
The downsides were:
- Ageing a330 aircraft, it really showed around the cabin
- In this format, just the 1 bathroom available for what was a very dense Business Class cabin
- Seat layout allowed for little privacy and the bed:lie flat feature poor compared to tier 1 products in this space
Overall, with expectations set a little lower, this flight offered excellent value for money. Sri Lankan Airlines are in the process of rolling out a new Business Class product across their Airbus a330 fleet which is much more in line with the industry 1-2-1 standard.
