My flight from Doha to Colombo was an evening flight, 5 hours lengthy which adopted the primary sector from Athens to Doha. So, I selected to fly Enterprise Class – and I all the time do in such instances – as I can’t resist to a connoisseur dinner up within the air in addition to a seat-bed at 40,000 ft! The AIRBUS A320/321 is certainly one of my favourite airplanes; possibly as a result of I haven’t been flying on it as a flight attendant and I absolutely think about it because the masterpiece of business airways!
Sri Lanka is an amazingly hospitable nation. The locals love their homeland and wish to convey this sense to any customer by way of their wonderful buyer companies. To be sincere, this was clear to me even from the primary Welcome Aboard throughout boarding in Doha. I do have 13 years aviation hands-on expertise and I can reassure you; the flight attendants’ smile was completely actual.
THE FIRST WELCOME
The reality is, that you just by no means have a second likelihood to first impressions and Sri Lankan Airways actually had an important success on that! The flight attendants didn’t solely warmly welcomed me however have been additionally neat, with stunning hair and wonderful uniforms – like a bit of artwork – carrying fantastic, conventional Sri Lankan Sarees.
I selected s single seat subsequent to the window for an apparent purpose. Most Privateness is the important thing and my alternative was general appropriate. Throughout the night time, the seat remodeled into a snug mattress with a comfy fluffy pillow and an appropriate to dimension blanket –not a toddler blanket of 1,20m (which is the same old choice in airways).
Proper subsequent to my mattress there I had my private “bedside – desk” which is extraordinarily handy particularly for me that I normally curry a lot stuff in my purse (crèmes, earphones, sleeping masks, socks, chargers, pill and so forth.)
Sri Lankan Airways gives a helpful amenity package as properly, with a sleeping masks, socks and mini merchandise. You bought me; I honoured all of them!
THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
I all the time journey with my very own pill with me, as a Netflix fan. Nevertheless, I take pleasure in checking what’s on board. So, I spent a while exploring the in-flight leisure system, so I can have an opinion over right here. There was all kinds of films and collection, each from new or basic productions, a lot of music selections in addition to fascinating documentaries. You too can use their usb shops for charging your machine which is a large neccessity, particularly throughout lengthy hauls.
However I shouldn’t neglect a very powerful: WiFi Onboard!
The menu was implausible and stuffed with conventional Sri Lankan and Asian meals. I selected Vegetarian, a Thai model Vegetable Curry which was an ideal match with my glass of wine. This was an excellent intro to all of the upcoming curries I tasted all through the week in Sri Lanka.
The one factor that I fell in love with although, was the normal dessert Bibikkan. It was like a cake made out of coconut and flour and you actually need to style it should you ever journey to Sri Lanka!
The customer support was actually high-level, the crew was there for all my little requests –though I don’t normally preserve the flight attendants busy as I’m one too and I deeply know these midnight duties.
Lastly, even though it was an evening flight and all of the passengers have been really sleeping, I skilled a really premium service. I acknowledge this as a bonus of the Sri Lankan Airways; having folks in your workforce that really love what they’re doing is essentially the most beneficial factor for a enterprise! Properly Performed!
SEE YOU NEXT TIME SRI LANKAN AIRLINES!
