Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport She became the first female prime minister in world history and served three terms. Sri LankaThe airport, which was named after Sirimavo Bandaranaike, who served as the prime minister in , inevitably created a sympathy for me.
Since Colombo does not offer many options for those who come to visit the country, those who come to visit the country instead of staying in Colombo, spend their time in Negombo, the settlement near the airport, and continue to the inner parts of the country from there. That's exactly what we did, we got off the plane at 01:00 am, checked into our hotel in Negombo, and set off for Anuradhapura early in the morning.
Colombo AirportOne of the most interesting features of the airport is that if you don't have a flight, they won't let you into the building. Once inside, if your flight time is more than 3 hours, you cannot go to the checkin counters. In summary, don't go if your flight time is not close 🙂
The airport is approximately 30km from Colombo, but 30km in Sri Lankan traffic can only be taken in 1-1,5 hours, you need to pay attention to this.
From 04:30 in the morning to 11:00 at night, bus 187 from Colombo Bastian Mawatha station goes to the airport every half hour. The same bus goes to the city center from 06:00 in the morning to 09:00 in the evening. Another option would be to take a taxi at the airport exit, it depends on your bargaining power. Or you can ask for a car from the hotel where you will stay, they can provide a car at a more affordable price.
If you have landed at the airport, which has a small freeshop, you will see white goods in the freeshop, do not be surprised, they are cheap.
If you ask if you can sleep at the airport, you can sleep because the seats are without armrests.
