Will a Sri Lankan agency buy my international flight tickets?

Most Sri Lankan Destination Management Companies (DMCs) don’t really do inbound international flight bookings; they tend to focus on ground arrangements and domestic transit only. In practice, you are expected to sort out your own flights to and from Colombo, right?

Local agencies also lack access to the global airline booking systems needed to propose competitive international airfares. For that reason, it is usually way more cost-effective and secure if travellers book their flights directly with the airlines, or via agencies in their home country. In that setup, the local operator receives the final arrival and departure times for the airport transfers, without any extra back-and-forth.
