Colombo Connection Dash

Flying in F/J, and arriving on SQ 466 at 08:15 - will I make the EK 552 to MLE at 09:25?

If flights are on time and baggage checked through, there shouldn't be a problem. CMB is no where near as crazy as Dubai.

Cheers,

Thanks, I'll only have hand luggage.

What will be the procedure? I imagine it's something like "Five minutes walk to transfer desk, spend five mninutes at transfer desk getting EK boarding pass, walk five minutes to lounge/gate for EK flight" Am I right?

I have been to CMB before in 2004 and I remember it's pretty tiny.

I've done CMB turnarounds on the same SQ aircraft many times. My record is 9 minutes from cabin door opening to the transfer desk to the lounge.

By the way, what is the special purpose in doing a turnaround? I guess it's part of a mileage run, but how exactly?
