The duty-free area at departures had a nice variety of stores- from gemstone shops to telecom counters, souvenir stores, and even Domino’s and Costa Coffee ☕️.\nOverall, both our arrival and departure experiences were pleasant and hassle-free.

From immigration to baggage collection, the process is usually smooth and efficient. Over the years, I have appreciated the improvements made to the facilities, as well as the variety of duty-free shopping and dining options available to travelers.\nFor many Sri Lankans living overseas, Bandaranaike International Airport is more than just an airport—it is the gateway home.

Initially, I thought it was because my cabin bag weighed around 11 kg. I explained that the combined baggage allowance for my family of five was still within the permitted limit, as the other four bags were well below the 7.5 kg cabin allowance. The staff clarified that the request was not due to weight, but because the aircraft was a smaller Airbus with limited overhead storage space. Since my bag contained my laptop and other valuables, I requested to keep it with me and instead checked in my mother’s hand luggage, which they accepted.\n\nOther than this minor inconvenience, everything else went smoothly, and I had a pleasant experience overall.","2026-06-27T11:45:53.681142717Z",["null","__typename",564,"author",592,"rating",182,"text",595,"relative_time_description",570,"publish_time",596],["null","__typename",566,"name",593,"profile_photo_url",594],"Jobin Jose","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa-\u002FALV-UjU-wxeK3zRP4KOo_WkPhKWj17JL8Z6JFLXE_9G3I-MpipeoPoFXCQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba5","Bandaranaike International Airport offers a smooth and well-organized transfer experience for transit passengers.
