So my 3 day holiday in Colombo is finished and had to go back to work to the Maldives. Colombo is pretty in someways however I can't really say that there are a lot do in the city. It is always a better idea to go out of the city and go to the other places in the country.
On the 20th of June 2017, I took a taxi from the hostel to the airport (Bandaranaike International Airport) for about US$20 (this is a 4 seater car, airconditioned and in a good condition). Travel time is about 30 minutes. There is an option of using the highway for about US$2 add on charge. I did that.
Arrived at around 530AM. The terminal is not that specifically beautiful. Please note that you need to go through a total of 3 security checks at this airport….
I took a couple of shots after immigration which by the way, only took less than 5 minutes, again happy me.
About an hour before boarding, I went inside Gate 9.
There she is, looking fresh and ready. 4R-ALO.
Boarding has started….
Up close and personal.
My tradition of checking the lavatory out before taking off. Looking pretty decent a this time.
Some cabin shots.
Again, 35K. My seat today for about an hour and 5 minutes.
IFE sreen, seat pitch and outside view.
Bye Colombo and Ayubowan!
Forward Camera is working…
And downward too.
The same so so food, sorry but not for me…
Mood lighting.
Flight was generally smooth and uneventful.
Landing into Velana International Airport (Male, Maldives).

Thank you guys for your time.
