A simple pay-in lounge at Colombo for FlySmiles Silver and walk-in guests.

About this lounge

The SriLankan Airlines Palm Strip Lounge is a pay-in lounge at Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport, run by SriLankan Airlines. It welcomes SriLankan FlySmiles Silver passengers departing on SriLankan flights in economy, and also sells paid entry, so other travellers can buy their way in. The offering is deliberately simple: a selection of complimentary snacks and soft drinks, with food and premium drinks available to purchase. This is a lower-key lounge than SriLankan's oneworld and business class options, aimed at economy travellers and walk-in guests who want a calmer place to wait before boarding rather than a full pre-flight meal.
