              Do they make any money? Because LCCs normally make you pay to carry on bags.

                          Any guess for why CMB-TRZ is doing good ? because of Baggage allowance and no guesses on how MJ is flying with a full-house ..

                          BTW, Mihin's website's tag line is Cheap flights to Dhaka, Colombo and Jakarta with "FREE MEALS AND BAGGAGE .. "

                          Then again, I can't figure out how they price SIN-CMB-SIN, at 2048 S$ - virtually more than twice UL's fare .. are they on a mission to discourage traffic ex-Singapore, to cover up the cargo space ?

                                Turkish Airlines to Launch Sri Lanka Service from Feb 2013

                                Turkish Airlines is planning to begin direct flights to Sri Lankan Capital, Colombo from 1st February 2013. There are plans to extend existing five weekly Istanbul - Male service to Colombo onboard A330-200. From 31 March 2013, Turkish Airlines will be operating on four weekly onboard A343.

                                Reservation not yet available.

                                Flight Schedule

                                FROM 1-FEB-2013 - 30-MARCH-2013

                                IST-CMB - TK730 - 00:15 - 14:15 - A330 - WE via MLE
                                IST-CMB - TK730 - 01:10 - 15:10 - A330 - MO.TH.FR.SU via MLE

                                CMB-IST - TK731 - 21:40 - 05:45 - A330 - MO.WE.TH.FR.SU via MLE

                                FROM 31-MARCH-2013

                                IST-CMB - TK730 - 01:05 - 14:05 - A343 - MO.WE.FR.SU via MLE

                                CMB-IST - TK731 - 20:40 - 05:30 - A343 - MO.WE.FR.SU via MLE


                                Goodnews ! But it's also disappointing TK has given less priority for the CMB flights as schedule loaded only 25 days before the starting date. Still no announcement on TK website and on the Media. Anyway @4R-SRD - Do you find TK's CMB fares are attractive ? @Spookyflyer & Uthum - Any idea about the cabin configuration for TK's A330/A340 ? Do they have first class operating for CMB flight ?
