  That's almost 12 months away, who knows what will be happening by then.

  Yep, should be fine by then. Especially because it's for one day it should be okay, if you book a good hotel.

  How many days you gonna be there?
  Where about you going to stay ? Or are you planning to drive around.
  It's usually safer to go there but worst case would be disruption due to enegy issues.

  Should be fine. If you need the latest information when you are about to fly, please pm me.

  A lot of flights out of Sri Lanka at the moment are having to stop in India to refuel - this adds an hour or two onto your trip. As above, who knows what will happen in a year.

  LOL…you're staying in Sri Lanka not even for 24 hours and you're worried…I'd be more worried about Paris.

  There's plenty of people still travelling to Sri Lanka for holidays…

  It depends who you are? Have you been seeking temporary shelter in SE Asia recently?

  Yeah, nah. Country on the verge of collapse and civil war. A country running out of everything. I wouldn't get out of the plane if it landed in Sri Lanka at the moment. There may not be a plane there when you come back to it, or it's up on bricks, wheels missing and drained of all it's fuel.

  Know many people have gone back for family and had no problems. Getting there is easy but you run the risk of complications getting out on your connection.
  Society there isn't collapsing and the people there are so nice you'd be fine even if it did.
  18 hours isn't much to do anything there though..

  Assuming you're in transit, there's a decent transit hotel to take a good nap.

  Else, if you're up for paying for a visa on arrival, clear customs and take an airport cab (not a tout) to negombo, have an awesome seafood buffet at a local beach pub, and take a tuk tuk back to the airport using the old road…
