The airport pickup on this page is Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake, code CMB. Check that code on your ticket: Colombo city and Colombo International Airport Ratmalana (RML) are different pickup locations. Change the starting point in the form if your flight uses another airport.
Confirm whether your booking is in Trincomalee city, Uppuveli or Nilaveli before leaving CMB. These are separate drop-off areas. Plan comfort breaks after the flight and share the hotel’s late-arrival contact for an evening check-in.
Use the booking map for the route and driving-time estimate between CMB and your selected Trincomalee address. Add intended stops in journey order. Immigration, baggage collection and finding the agreed pickup point are separate from driving time.
