Sri Lankan?

what benefit does this airline bring??

apart from flights to India ( and they are not that big in terms of capacity to India)

they really do not add much to the alliance

HK/SIN/BKK-served by cathay

KL-served by malaysia

and the do not really fly to any other place

Same with Qatar- not many new cities but unlike Sri Lankan it adds huge value and more options


but Oneworld has heaps of gaps in terms of cities they cover-wonder who will be next

you can call it the highest quality but not largest

Maybe, but their service is excellent (at least in J) and it's boom time in SL. Delighted I can start earning Asia Miles when this all kicks off. Their HKG-CMB-LHR fares in J are attractive and a couple of days on a beach near Galle is even more so.

I second that j service is great and that Sri Lanka is really taking off as a destination. Gotta give them credits. Although indeed doesn't fit in with the OW crowd...
