Inconsistent Flights on SriLankan Airlines - What Went Wrong?

I traveled on SriLankan Airlines from Bangkok via Colombo to Dubai. This is a video reporting my latest SriLankan Airlines flight experience.
At Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, many shops and lounges are currently closed, many airplanes are parked and the airport is very quiet. SriLankan Airlines Business Class passengers can use the Miracle Lounge before the flight.
The flight to Colombo from Bangkok is operated by A321. Flight time was 3 hours. A full lunch was served. Check out the seat, cabin, food, and service on this short sector.
I transited Colombo and used the Serendib Lounge of SriLankan Airlines. It has a good amount of food but the lounge is very dated. It needs an upgrade.
The next flight to Dubai was on SriLankan Airlines A330-300 with individual Business Class seating. However, the food and service were let down and inconsistent with my previous flight. At the end of my flight, I gave my verdict on my latest SriLankan Airlines experience.

I received a lot of fans requesting me to make a vlog on SriLankan Airlines. I've flown SriLankan in 2011, 2012, 2016 but this time the experience was not as great as it was previously. I have to stress that is based on my own experience from my flights. Hope SriLankan can work on these shortcomings. Pls let me know which other airlines you're interested to see a vlog on? Next week we have PIA from Pakistan!

PIA ARE DANGEROUS Over a 1/4 of all pilots in Pakistan hold fake licences or cheated in their final exams, PIA had found and fired many pilots in their fleet because of this problem according to bbc news

I'm one also requested to fly with Sri Lankan. Really disappointed about your Experience with Sri Lankan. a few years back airline was managed by emirates currently managed by the Sri Lanka government. due to some bad methodologies and weak management, this may happen. but currently, Airport renovation and expansion going on. But Kindly request you to visit Sri Lanka and explore some local country experiences with nature and cultural experiences. However thanks to you for accepting our requests and trying Sri Lankans. 😔😔😔 I apologize for all Sri Lankan (country) fans 🙏🙏

Hi Sam, that’s me at 2.55. Sri Lankan and Sri Lanka are both going through tough times, as a Sri Lankan we fly our national airline with pride, administrative failures have led to the current situation and the plane was a bit old. I hope that Sri Lankan takes your feedback and makes some changes. You will find the most friendly and helpful crew on Sri Lankan, hope they get the support they need to take the experience to the next level. Our country is going through tough times but I am sure that Sri Lankan and Sri Lanka both make it through. This is excellent feedback coming from a well travelled and knowledgeable vlogger and will force much needed change. Thank you 🙏 Cheers tc Fly safe 🇱🇰🇹🇭❤️ Sura

Comparing to qatar airways the mid flight assist is vary poor and no friendly manners. Even i got cheaper air ticket than qatar airways i cancelled it and buy ticket from Qatar airways. The main thing has to change in sri lankan ariline is mind set of crew. Might be some of them good but as per my experience the vary first experience will make a big image of any thing.

Airlanka catering was the best and profitable organization in srilanka at that time...4 months bonus every year to all grades/free medical for all familily/free meals/free transport/free uniforms/staff get together part for all family in Five star hotels/Air tickets for family..much more....present situation is ...up to you...8 grams gold ring for all those who not utilize Sick leave and casual leaves as encourage staff...

Sri Lankan Airline along with many other govt. owned institutions and ministries are run by a bunch of fucking thugs who are all, either related to the governing family of Rajapaksas or their henchmen. Many years ago it was part of Emirates which was a profitable business. The current PM Mahinda who was the then president took over the control of the company from Emirates back to SL ownership and appointed his brother-in-law as the chairman, who had no experience or qualification to even run a corner shop, let alone an airline, manage to run it down to the ground which as of today running with heavy losses. The country is suffering from heavy debts to the outside world which runs into billions of Dollars. Therefore the service you get reflects its dire financial situation.

I found this review quite unfair. UL crews are some of the friendliest in the world. Also, you want a lie flat for a 3hr flight on a narrow body?! I have flown UL a lot and the staff have always been 100% A++ and the hard product for relatively short flights in J is really good. There are improvements but ‘what went wrong?’ is hyperbolic nonsense

We are very pleased to be back in Sri Lanka on a Sri Lankan Airline flight. The current epidemic situation has weakened our country to some extent. We try hard to get rid of it. You have pointed out that our airline has a lot of shortcomings. We humbly acknowledge that there are some shortcomings in our airlines. We hope that everything will be rectified and better services will be provided soon. again, Thank you very much for flying Srilankan Airlines. Stay Safe and Stay Healthy.

Flown SriLankan many times (2018 and prior). Longest flights to/from Delhi and Beijing. It was less inconsistent then. Largely good memories/service/food. The Colombo lounge was sadly the same as now and often overcrowded. The terminal always chaotic, claustrophobic and not good overall. I've even stayed the night in the terminal 'hotel' (quarters). Duty-Free once sold me 750ml bottle of Belvedere that had been (previously and cleverly) opened and cut with water. Many people on edge but basically trying.

Sri Lankans realising that the LTTE leader Prabakaran would have ran the country better if he was given charge even thought that man wanted a separate state. I’ve seen on social media that this current crisis is a curse for the war crimes, corruption and genocide the president has done on people on the island and it is ‘karma’ by Gautama Buddha for misusing their name for extremist Buddhist ideology

Unbelievable. SriLankan Airlines ought to be ashamed of themselves. A flagship national carrier sets the tone for those coming home or to visit and there is no excuse for such poor service. Deep rooted corruption and the government using the airline as their personal piggybank leads to such low standards (a la Malaysian Airlines). And I don't want to hear anything from the prissy Sri Lankan ex pats talking about how amazing SriLankan Airlines is from their foreign ivory tower. Maybe pay tax and the airline might have a chance to improve!
