Days before the Indian cricket tour of Sri Lanka begins, SriLankan Airlines, the national carrier of the host nation, has launched a contest-cum-promotion seeking to attract Indian cricket fans to travel to Sri Lanka to watch the matches.

In a press statement, SriLankan Airlines says it is excited to offer Indian cricket fans a chance to win a free holiday package with bookings made through its website and QR code enrollment for the ‘India Cricket Tour of Sri Lanka 2024’.

The airline says that fans can combine their passion for cricket with the thrill of travel, seizing this unique chance to experience the excitement of the ‘Blues’ in action while exploring the stunning sights of Sri Lanka at no extra cost.

The airline says that the online raffle draw campaign, with the tagline ‘Follow the Blues’, aims to make the journey even more exciting for Indian cricket fans.

The statement adds that SriLankan Airlines offers attractive fares to Sri Lanka with 85 weekly flights from nine Indian cities, namely Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai, Tiruchirappalli and Madurai. It says that to participate in the raffle, passengers must purchase their tickets between July 20 and August 6, with travel commencing and completing between July 25 and August 10.

It adds that both economy and business class return tickets from any Indian point to Colombo are eligible, provided the purchase is made through the SriLankan Airlines website.

Once the ticket is purchased, travellers need to scan the provided QR code and fill out a form with their travel details to enter the raffle. Winners will be selected through a raffle draw.

In addition to competitive fares and a complimentary first date change, the airline’s website offers a host of value-added services such as ‘Bid for Business Class’, cheapest prepaid baggage, exclusive prepaid meals and advance seat reservations to make every journey count.
