SriLankan Airlines FAQs

Find quick answers to the most common questions about flying with SriLankan Airlines.

Can I carry a wedding dress onboard SriLankan Airlines?

Yes, within the cabin limits: at most 7 kg and 56×36×23 cm or 115 cm combined dimensions. A dress exceeding the allowance must be checked.

Can I buy a SriLankan seat for a musical instrument or valuable item?

Request Extra Seat for Comfort in advance, subject to acceptance and a window-seat allocation. The maximum is 75 kg; this is separate from the free baggage allowance.

Do required mobility aids use my SriLankan baggage allowance?

The FAQ allows required mobility aids free above ordinary checked and cabin allowances, subject to acceptance conditions. Confirm the device and flight arrangements in advance.

Is a SriLankan lap infant always limited to 10 kg checked baggage?

No. The general weight allowance is 10 kg. On applicable Americas piece-concept itineraries, the FAQ lists one bag up to 23 kg and 158 cm. Check the ticket’s concept.

When can I check in online with SriLankan, and what details do I need?

The current check-in FAQ lists 48 to two hours before departure. Have your passport, e-ticket number or booking reference, and surname ready. Airport bag-drop requirements still apply.

Is a SriLankan online boarding pass accepted without a counter visit at every airport?

No. It can be printed, emailed or saved on a phone, but some airports require a pass issued at the airline counter. Check the departure airport’s requirements.

Can I book SriLankan unaccompanied-minor travel entirely online?

No. Arrange it through a ticket office or Global Contact Center. Confirm age eligibility and connections rather than buying an ordinary online ticket and expecting supervision at the airport.

What receiving-person details are needed for a SriLankan unaccompanied child?

Provide the receiver’s details along with the child’s passport and applicable visa, and confirm arrangements with a ticket office or Global Contact Center.

How can I confirm a SriLankan unaccompanied child has arrived and been handed over?

The airline handles the child from check-in to handover to the designated receiver. Contact that person to confirm arrival and handover; the FAQ does not promise an automatic airline notification.

Can I change an agency-issued SriLankan itinerary online?

The FAQ limits online itinerary changes to website-issued tickets. Contact the original agent; changes through an airline office or Global Contact Center can attract a processing fee, subject to fare rules.
