dream tickets

Hi,

Have looked at your various questions and would comment as follows:-

1). ';Dream Tickets'; - Have never heard of them before so can%26#39;t comment.

2). ';Emirates'; - Have flown with them 16 times in all 3 classes with never any problems. Food is always good by airline standards, drinks are free (ex champagne in economy) and the entertainment system is great.

3). ';Clothing'; - as Erik says it is always warm so light clothing is appropriate unless you go into the hill country when it is cooler (say 14C) at night.

4). Tours - We have used Malkey ( www.malkey.lk )and found them completely satisfactory. You can either hire a car for self drive as we do for about 20,000SLR per week or you can hire a car with driver from 4,250SLR per day. Full details are on the website.

5) Food %26amp; Drink - Costs are always reasonable, with the figures given by Erik as a good average. Even the more expensive hotels are cheap by UK standards. I have just had a quick look at our bills from a recent stay st the Mount Lavinia and dinner for two, including a pint and a soft drink was generally under 4,500SLR. Incidentally, drinks are relatively cheap from supermarkets like Keels %26amp; Cargills. Try the very smooth ';Strong Beer'; which is 8% and only costs around 100SLR for a pint bottle!

Sri Lanka is a great place with really friendly people - enjoy your holiday. Please ask if you have any more queries.

Regrads, Peter.

Must have been a while since you visited Sri Lanka.

A beer for LKR 100!! You can%26#39;t buy even at the off license. IIRC we paid LKR 120 for Lion Lager. Carlsberg and the stronger variants were more.

Only few Keels and Cargills have a license to sell beer %26amp; alcohol.

the guy peter is way behind in the price guide for beer and drivers, however the airline is great...august is very warm and long trousers for evening for mossies and hioll country cooler maybe long sleeves.

Juliefernando...

Just to add..., agree that previous prices for beer, drivers ect are a ';little'; behind the times these days, BUT Dream Tickets is actually a travel company and NOT in fact an airline !

But, can vouch for Dream Tickets, found them to be very professional in every way, and as original poster had said very good value too, they sadly missed out on my booking this time around because i found a better deal with a Colombo based company, but will definately go back to them in future.

i know they are not an airline , i was referring to an earlier post about emirates and forgot to put in emirates,..thanks

I have book with Dream Ticket to Sri Lanka in August this year having used them before to Dubai. We found them to be very efficient and the service excellent. We have also booked a 5 day tour at the beginning before travelling to stay at the Club Hotel Dolphin for 10 days. The tour is organised through a local company which we were told are also used by Kuoni. The flights are through Kingfisher which if you read other TA reports are an excellent Airline. Hope this help.

thank you for replies we normally use first choice but as they,re not going to sri lanka in aug had to look at other company glad people have used dream tickets puts my mind at rest
