The aircraft was downgraded and our hand luggage was also interlined at the check in counter. We were asked to take our laptops out and put into smaller bags. I didn't carry an extra padllocks and oh what a hazzle. Why did the management of Airlanka inform the customers at the check in counter. This is also another dirty game they 're playing to cheat customers. Why the "F" we fly this airline by paying good money. This is the first time i flew this cursed airline and jolly well will be the last.Theytreat customers like bloody dirt. SHAME ON THIS BLOODY AIRLINE . To hell with this Airline. Pl ground all the bloody planes without cheating customers .!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤧🤧🙄…

We paid over £100 for extra leg room and then we managed to get a bid for upgrade to business class so paid for business. We were advised that we would get a refund from customer service regarding the paid for extra leg room. We contacted Sri Lankan Airlines on 28th June for a refund, they kept sending us emails saying they were dealing with it. It is now 10th September and still no refund. This morning they told us that the booking reference is not theirs but British Airways. Their what's app chat line is useless and they cannot help and keep asking us to deal with Customer service (who is ignoring our emails). My husband is disabled and we had to pay to get a disabled chair and helper in Sri Lanka before flying business class!…

Mr. Jayatilake chamindra has no sense talking to passenger. Treated us so bad, gave racist comments and tried to create a scene out of nowhere. Just a matter of 2 minutes i was going to toilet- as told by air hostess. He started speaking loud and showing his arrogant idiotic nature. I would request you to reply me on that. I would post the same on X and would like people know that you guys train such idiots like that who are simply racist…
