looks like you haven't traveled between North America and South AsiaOriginally posted by TheF15Ace View Post
try doing a booking between YOW and CMB on Srilankan.com web site and let me know the transit time
Are you aware LHR Airport Tax is one of the highest in Europe?
.
double daily that's a wishful thinking UL has sold some of the slots??? that was the previous managmentThere has been talk about going double daily to London again but with the current management/government changing their mind every month on what to do it's anybody's guess whether it will happen.Comment

Second tier cities always have lengthy connections, not just for CMB, typically for most places. Try YYZ for better connections.Originally posted by Speedbird View Post
Really? Airport tax is the criteria for selecting a flight. For the most people it would be safety, schedule and airfare in that order or any other order. (I understand that airfare comprise the Airport tax, but that makes a very insignificant difference in the real world)Originally posted by Speedbird View Post
Agree, that was not a very prudent decision.Originally posted by Speedbird View PostComment

yes & have you tried YYZ or YUL on srilankan.comOriginally posted by Cayman View Post
originating flights are all red eye and long layover for the connection
by the way Ottawa - Gatineau is the 4 - 5 largest city in Canada with over 6000 diplomats/160 Embassies, the Feds & Canadian Silicon Valley (Pop 1.35 Million)
it is not a second tier City...you must getting confused with Canberra in AU
Ottawa has very good connection to any European/US/Asian/Latin American destination with less than 2 - 3 hour connection from Toronto/Montreal/London/Frankfurt/New Jersey/Philadelphia/Chicago on a SINGLE airline
airport tax is part of the airfare...which adds up...compared to CDG and FRAReally? Airport tax is the criteria for selecting a flight.

I have actually though it was on EK.Originally posted by Speedbird View Post
BTW YOW is a bad example to try and show connections between South Asia and North America. While it's not a second tier city it also doesn't have as much demand as say YYZ or YUL. Those are amply served
Doesn't mean that it isn't used as a transit point on a daily basis.Are you aware LHR Airport Tax is one of the highest in Europe?

Alot of UL's future planning is wishful thinking. I just mentioned an idea that was floated around last year. And if they are really serious they can always try to lease the slots to operate a flightdouble daily that's a wishful thinking UL has sold some of the slots??? that was the previous managmentComment

Please read my previous response...it is same for YYZ and YULOriginally posted by TheF15Ace View Post
by the way you are aware that EK has only 3 flights per WEEK for Canada
there is a cost even for transit...tax is wrong term i used
Doesn't mean that it isn't used as a transit point on a daily basis.

It was a big mistake to drop CDG and FRA...lets hope that KLM or AF fill in the gap...Try LH and you will be surprisedOriginally posted by channa View PostComment

Yes but ealier since you mentioned North America in general EK is still quite a good option.Originally posted by Speedbird View Post
Indeed. Just wanted to provide a source for what I posted earlier....talk is cheap my friendComment

AF can thank UL for giving away this traffic to them. It looks like as a result of UL dropping Paris, AF have stepped in to fill the void left for the Maldives market.Originally posted by Azamh View Post
Maldives is way more higher yielding than Sri Lanka in general, so it makes more sense that AF go there.Comment
