    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

        Really disappointing service by SriLankan Airlines (UL168 COK-CMB 06/12/2015)
        An aged Airbus A320-200 (4R-ABL) with scratched windows and worn out seats almost falling apart
        This would be just ideal for immediate scrapping as its a nightmare flying on it
        Let alone my horrible burnt briyani meal which was so burnt and so bland many people simply let it pass
        UL, You should seriously up-your game and as a OneWorld member and should maintain a level of standard and quality not only for major long-haul flights but also very importantly short-haul flights as that too generates significant revenue!
        I'm not Impressed.
        Sorry to say by my AirAsia India flight was way better (Source: Facebook)

        I took to Twitter too and this is what UL had to say in response



        The meal was absolutely putrid


        Seats on ALB


        Overall my worst experience ever!

          Here are the calculations of the number of dates elapsed from the first flight to delivery date of the A330-300 aircrafts SriLankan airlines received up to now.

          Reg. First Flight Delivery No. of Dates
          4R-ALL 04. Sep 2014 29. Oct 2014 55 days
          4R-ALM 03. Nov 2014 18. Dec 2014 45 days
          4R-ALN 28. Jan 2015 25. Mar 2015 56 days
          4R-ALO 21. Jul 2015 14. Aug 2015 24 days
          4R-ALP 07. Oct 2015 10. Nov 2015 34 days

          Average - 42.8 days

          So yes I think the new birds will arrive to CMB within the first three weeks of January

                            Welcome

                            I have a few more to add, I couldn't get the Reg of the birds though, due to distance.
