Hey folks,
This is a continuation of my trip report:-
Kuwait - Muscat ft. Oman Air B739 Business Class
Muscat-Colombo WY 375 - Not Reported
Colombo-Chennai UL121 - You are currently viewing it
After arriving from Muscat on Oman Air Flight 375, we proceeded to the transit desk to get the boarding passes for the next flight to Chennai. After a good 10minutes, we received our boarding passes and found our way to the Serendib Lounge while stopping by the Buddha Statue.

Upon entering, we were treated with amazing views of Kuwait Airways Airbus A330-200 which had arrived from Kuwait City as KU361

I headed to the sleeping lounge where you can get yourself comfortable with a recliner and I dozed off to sleep for about an hour.
Around 5 AM, a bunch of SriLankan WideBodies arrived from the Middle East.

SriLankan Catering was quite tasty, and I especially enjoyed this dish.

Time flew by quickly and it was time to board…
Boarding was quite chaotic and it took a lot of time to get ourselves on the plane…
Stepping for the first time on a SriLankan Airlines' Plane, I felt it to be very cultural.
It was equipped with Reverse Herringbone Seating…

Soon after taking off, we were immediately served with breakfast and it was just tasty!

And soon after we finish our breakfast, we begin our descent into Madras which was already filled with breathtaking views!

Conclusion

This is me, Srihari, A 13-Year-Old AvGeek who likes to fly different airlines around the world! Being a pilot is my dream and traveling is my hobby.
To get started off with this trip, this trip was an unexpected one, A 5 Hour delay on one of our flight resulted in missing the another and ended up flying via Colombo...Colombo is a great touristic attraction though the airport needs some renovation badly. The lounge was amazing and felt lively. The new cabin of A330-343 was awesome and perfect for flights to Europe all the way from Sri Lanka! Food was amazing and I would definitely recommend this airline...
