Take extra note, you can't take money out of Sri Lanka so hide your local currency if the security see it after you have checked in but before you have actually gone through immigration then they will make you go back outside to drop it in the drop box which is a real PITA at CMB as you have to hand over your BP and get a special "transit" pass off the checkin agent and go back through securtity.....
