Not as cheap. Best I can find atm is $924 with Malaysia Airlines but limited dates and not so great transit times through Kuala Lumpur. Here is an example

  Has Malaysia Airlines started operating in this sector already? I know they didn't have any flights for months. Do you know when they will have flights schedules (i.e. flight numbers) back to normal?
  - Associatedflightfinderau @ flightfinderau on 02/02/2022 - 23:07
    
    Malaysia Airlines have resumed flights to Brisbane since the reopening of QLD borders to international flights. But the frequency is low. Best guess is when all quarantine restrictions are removed for those that arrive in Australia and demand picks up again - who knows when that will happen? Maybe towards the end of the year?

    I wouldn't. Did it with Air Asia, after confirming with them over chat that I could, and they still cancelled my return leg (which was the one to Australia), refused to refund me and left me with no option but to buy an extremely expensive one way ticket after an unexpected six hour wait at the airport. Never again.

  I had the opposite experience to the comment below, I flew with them in 2019 (pre pandemic obviously) and they were great. Their business product on the A330 is quite nice, good service and on time for both flights. You get OneWorld rewards too. The airport is fine to fly in to as a tourist but not much to do if you're on transit.

  Plenty has been said on Sri Lankan Airlines below! My experience is they are ok - planes are dated but safe, service is good and food is very good (if you like Indian/Sri Lankan food etc). I would have them a bit better than Air India but below Singapore Airlines etc. If the transit times in Colombo are short (1-2 hours), I think its a non-issue really.
  
  Regarding flights in October. I had a quick look and Malaysian and Thai come in at the cheapest ($870-900), but Malaysian have the best connecting times.

        Claiming that they "barely meet basic service" is a princess-tier exaggeration. The OP claimed they were a middle of the pack airline, but they do offer pretty good food, which is a more even-handed review.

        I've travelled extensively for business and pleasure, to every continent save for Antarctica and I would agree with OP's analysis of them being middle of the pack. If you think Sri Lankan is bottom of the pack, then you haven't travelled nearly as extensively as you think have sweetie.

        @thesainter: Let me give you a history lesson…
        
        UL refers to the previous airline of Sri Lanka. Air Lanka (was notiororiously known for delays) When the airline was rebranded into present day Sri Lankan (once Emirates took over), the IATA code remained. With Emirates management we saw huge improvements in reliability and service (food has always been excellent). It's no longer unreliable or second rate - period
        
        I am Sri Lankan by descent and I go back regularly (so yes I am biased). I am willing to state I have probably flown Sri Lankan Airlines and Air Lanka more times than most here. For the price point in my opinion (they are considerably cheaper than SQ, CX, QF, EK), they offer excellent value and shouldn't be dismissed. I personally think Qantas international is overrated, but will probably get shot down by someone here!

    @Dylan4: Sri Lankan airlines is a state run airline directly managed by the government. Emirates previously owned 40% of them but they pulled out due to meddling and corrupt practices of then president who was re-elected as the prime minister recently. He would often delay flights to suit schedules of him and his family members. Once one of these requests was denied by then country manager of Emiates and things got so ugly between him and Emirates and ultimately they pulled out of the deal. Even right now all the positions at the airline from ceo to the security personals are done by his government and reserved for people who helped him at the election. I don't know much about administration at Delta, AA or United but if things are similar I would avoid them too.

Flew SriLankan air business Singapore to Europe via Colombo twice return before Covid. Soft product good, crew great, food good, hard product ok with lay flat beds on one return flight. Cost before they joined One World A$ 2300 return Europe to Singapore. Now probably more than double. Colombo airport old but acceptable. They are not SIA standard but who is. Worst flight ever Singapore to Brisbane economy QF.

  Well said. I have flown them a few times and they are solid. Qantas may have a new hard product but the catering and service on Sri Lankan is much better in my opinion.
