What is the cheapest month to fly to Sri Lanka?

May, October and November are usually the cheapest months to fly from Australia to Colombo. Fares peak over December–January and around the Sinhala and Tamil New Year in April. Booking roughly 10–14 weeks ahead gives the best balance of price and availability.

Do Australian passport holders need a visa for Sri Lanka?

Yes. Australians need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before arrival. Sri Lanka approved a free tourist ETA scheme for Australian travellers in 2026 — always apply through the official portal at eta.gov.lk and confirm the current fee before you travel.

Which airport do I fly into in Sri Lanka?

Almost all flights land at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), about 35km north of Colombo. Taxis, ride apps and hotel transfers reach the city centre in roughly 45–75 minutes.
