Re: [EZLINK] Sri Lankan Airlines: Experience
Yes, exactly.. You are right. If there is a connecting flight withing 6 hours or so you must take that. If there are no connecting flights then they give you free accommodation.

Hi Ram,
i didn't get what do you mean by saying...
quote:
"Say, if your next connecting flight to Chennai is
within 3 hours of landing and if you have booked your
ticket in a flight that is after 10 hours (to
Chennai), then they wont give you any free
accommodation. You have to sit in the airport for 10
hours"
unquote:
does it mean like this?
"instead of booking in immediate available flight
after 3 hours, if i choose the next flight after 10
hours, they won't provide accommodation. is it so?
please explain me.
thanks
srinivas
