[wandering_fred]

On Facebook Sri Lankan has announced some new (or restored) destinations in the Asian region. mostly starting the end of October 2016.

SriLankan Airlines - 11 More Vibrant Destinations! Seychelles/ Jakarta/ Muscat/ Bahrain/ Bodh Gaya/ Varanasi/
Madurai/ Dhaka/ Kolkata/ South Maldives (Gan Island)/ Lahore
* For specific route commencement dates, visit our website

** Lahore – with effect from 27th September 2016

* Terms and conditions apply

Wishful thinking:
If able to coerce their planning I'd offer Mauritius to connect with Comair to JNB. And of course, PER and MEL...

Happy wandering

Seychelles is a good development for AONE4 fares.

These are the old Mihin Lanka routes now they've merged.

That's a fairly significant expansion.

A number of the Asian airlines (MH is another one) have been cutting back on long-haul flying and focusing more on regional routes lately. Hopefully this strategy works well for UL.

I wonder if there'll be any good J fares for CGK-CMB-LHR to link up with QF/SQ?

Edit: Just had a look, and while CGK-LHR is under $3K return, long layovers would be required in both CGK and CMB (assuming coming from SYD).

To add to the comment above about SEZ

QATAR Airways has announced the new addition of a daily Doha to Seychelles service which is due to commence from 12 Dec.

Expect to see the xONEx fares for SEZ updated very shortly.

Happy wandering
