              • Here are some shots from the museum. I was there on 26/06/2015.
































                Next aviation pics from Sri Lanka will be from Colombo where I spent 1 day of spotting. Will take some time as I have a lot of other pics to edit from my trip self.

                Hope you like them.

                    Good shot bro!
                    What's your flight number UL165 or UL167 ? Please tell me more about Passenger-load-factor and cabin service. I heard UL is now doing well ! There are more good reviews on skytrax.

                    4R-ADF is flying today CMB-DEL-CMB as UL1191/1192. Any reason why? Normally UL use A320/A321 to DEL. Notsure why A340 flying this time.

                          Thanks bro
                          Well I flew out on UL167 (4R-ABO)
                          The flight was 100% full, however the IFE screens weren't that responsive and the food was horrible
                          My return leg was absolutely horrible.Was on UL168 (4R-ABL) and it was just a nightmare...They really are messing up their short-haul flights very badly and COK-CMB being my worst ever experience with UL
                          Sad to say AirAsia India had better service overall
                          Pretty disappointing

                          ADF flew to DEL to pick up stranded passengers in MAA,GAY and VNS due to the floods in Chennai and the suspension of operations of both MJ and UL
                          I too was re-booked through COK as i was supposed to be on MJ129 and MJ130 to MAA
                          Will be posting up my trip report soon
