For international arrivals, it usually takes around an hour to clear Kelaniya Airport’s passport control and claim your baggage if you checked any in. Domestic arrivals to Kelaniya Airport don’t need to pass through passport control, so take a little less time.

We recommend you leave at least two and a half hours between your inbound and outbound flights, especially if you are self-transferring on an international flight. When you self-transfer, you may need to clear customs, claim any luggage and then check it back on to your next flight yourself. Take into account that you might need to change terminals, or it could take longer than necessary to navigate Kelaniya Airport’s departure lounge.
Check-in and bag drop often close an hour before your scheduled departure time for domestic flights, and sometimes an hour and a half before for longer-haul international flights.
