Transit stay at Colombo Airport

Some airlines still go in the classic way of offering more services to their customers.  I recall in the very old days, if I can't get the same day connection, the airline would offer a free hotel.  This is one of the features.  Sri Lankan Airway offers its business class passengers some distinctive services including this one.  Photo 1/3: is the Hotel gateway near Colombo Airport.  Photo 5: Silk Route (exclusive check-in for business class passengers) in Colombo Airport.  Photo 6/7: Serendib lounge of Sri Lankan Airway - offering quite a wide range food choices.

So not only free food but also free hotel for the transit huh.
Good deal.

Yes, that made up for the negative part of a "stop" flight. I don't mind it because it has to be a night stay in Male City and Airport on those direct flights in. This way we can have the free hotel in Colombo instead of Male City. That means we can arrive at Male airport in the morning time to connect the domestic or seaplane ride, instead of staying for a one night hotel in the hotel near the Male airport.

Yes I think this is a better alternative.
