Escape To Sri Lanka At Christmas For Winter Sun

Airfares can be very hard to predict and seem to change all the time based on a number of factors only privy to those in the know.  Last year, if you were flying from Europe to Sri Lanka the cheapest day to fly out was Christmas Day.  This year it’s different.

If you’re thinking about escaping the winter weather and heading to Sri Lanka at Christmas or New Year 2017 you’ll be wondering how to book the cheapest flight and have more money to spend when you get here.

Which Airlines Fly To Sri Lanka?

Several airlines flying here from Europe have good special offers on right now.  Even if you’re planning to fly in the next 6 months, it’s worth signing up for airline newsletters so that you get these offers direct to your inbox.  Register with Sri Lankan Airlines, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Gulf Air and Oman Air to get these offers.  Have your credit card ready as most of these offers have very short booking windows from 12 -72 hours.  You might also want to consider flying from a different airport as this can also save you money.

There is a generic  rule that flying on Tuesdays and Wednesdays tends to save you money.  The next best days are Thursday and Saturday.
