A question about : Europe to Bangkok/Singapore and more

Via a fairly staggering 3 day sale, Oneworld member Sri Lankan Airlines is offering Business Class flights from its Moscow hub to the Far East (including Bangkok and Singapore) at just Ј764 all-in return.

Or indeed Colombo (Sri Lanka) at Ј667 all-in return, plus many more.

All currently available Business Class return prices for February/March 2015 are as follows:
Moscow-Bangkok: Ј764
Moscow-Singapore: Ј764
Moscow-Colombo: Ј667
Moscow-Male: Ј753
Moscow-Chennai: Ј739
Moscow-Guangzhou: Ј764
Moscow-Kuala Lumpur: Ј764

Prices above are converted from Russian Roubles, so may fluctuate slightly.

The sale starts today (31 October) and ends on 2 November 2014, so you need to be quick. Flights must be flown in February or March 2015.

What use is this to me if I don't live in Moscow?

I hear you ask. Well still quite a lot. At the time of writing all of these flights are available throughout February and March. So, you could fly out from Moscow to Bangkok on Saturday 7 March and return on Saturday 21 March. The cheapest return flight from London to get you to and from Moscow to connect with the Moscow-Bangkok flights is currently Ј105 with Easyjet.

Is Sri Lankan Airlines Business Class any good?

Well I flew on the new Business Class in June this year and was very impressed. You can read more about it here. Sri Lankan is also part of the Oneworld network, so I chose to earn BA Avios and status points on the flight.

If you're Europe-based and after a great value flight to India, Sri Lanka or the Far East, this sale is well worth a look. If you're able to be flexible, I would advise combining this offer with a weekend in Moscow.

Best answers:

  • Presumably you would need a Russian visa in order to use this... so it could be complicated, and the total bill rather higher than planned.
    When did Sri Lankan become a Oneworld member? They always used to be owned by Emirates and worked with them for reward purposes.
