I'm flying Sri Lankan Singapore - CMB - LHR soon and was surprised to see they have a kind of 'book the cook' service in Business with quite an extensive menu.
Does anyone know which hotel they generally put up over nighting J transit passengers in?

ive only ever been put in this hotel:
https://www.tajhotels.co.uk/our-prop...arden-colombo/
with full board. Last time I was there I think there was refurbished and non-refurbished rooms, and I think I was put in a non-refurbished, although it was still absolutely delightful
the breakfasts are especially nice but the dinner was good too
cant fault at all

The fare has been adjusted since a few days back, so no more cheap UAE to Indonesia via Colombo. The revenue management at Sri Lankan must have realised that there's too many TP runs done on the fare.

Still seeing plenty of inventories from now till the 3rd week of May for $666 on SriLankan Airlines's website, make sure you put AUH (Abu Dhabi)- CGK instead of DXB (Dubai) - CGK. When used the currency converter build in the website, it does show as $630, so lesser the devil
(no puns!)

Nice. But it's not clear how to access this beneficence. It looks as though it could be targeted - or the discounts are already built into the sub-500 c-class fares from AUH to CGK

I'm not sure that's the case regarding management - a friend and I recently did a DXB-CMB-CGK run and aside from the first leg (which was only full in J because I'm 99% sure they OpUp'ed a ton of people with an overbooked economy), there were a reasonable amount of free seats on the rest of the legs. Aside from the promotional email above posted by others (I've gotten one as well), we amusingly received an e-mail saying they'd extended their business class sale whilst waiting for our flight, so I reckon they're keen to try and fill these seats up.
