Looking for cheap flights from Mysore to Colombo? FlightGPT compares live MYQ to CMB fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Mysore to Colombo non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mysore-Colombo fare is one search away.
Chennai is the quickest gateway: Chennai–Colombo non-stops take barely 1 hour 20 minutes. Bengaluru also has frequent service at around 1.5 hours. From Mysore you'll first reach the hub by a short flight or by road (Bengaluru is about 3 hours away). Because the international leg is so brief, even a modest layover keeps total travel comfortably under 7 hours. Chennai-based connections are usually the smoothest for this route.
SriLankan Airlines, the national carrier, offers the densest schedule from both Chennai and Bengaluru, with full-service inclusions. IndiGo flies low-cost non-stops that suit short beach breaks, and Air India serves the route too. Since the flight is so short, budget fares are very attractive for light packers, while SriLankan's onward connections make sense if Colombo is just your entry point to the island.
Indian passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before flying to Colombo — apply online through the official portal, where approval is usually issued within 24–48 hours. The tourist ETA permits a stay of up to 30 days and is extendable in-country. Carry your printed approval and proof of onward travel. Check the latest fee and conditions in our visa guide, as ETA terms occasionally change.
Economy round-trips from Chennai or Bengaluru to Colombo typically run ₹14,000–₹30,000, among the cheapest international fares from South India. Add roughly ₹3,000–₹6,000 for a Mysore–hub flight leg. Prices climb over the December–March peak season and during Sinhala/Tamil New Year in April. Booking 3–6 weeks ahead generally secures the lower band on this short, popular corridor.
Sri Lanka has two monsoons. For Colombo and the west and south coasts, the dry season runs December to March — ideal beach weather but the busiest and priciest. The May–September southwest monsoon brings rain to Colombo (and good weather to the east coast), with lower fares. If you're basing in Colombo or heading to Galle and the south, target the December–March window and book early.
Colombo's main airport, Bandaranaike International (CMB), is at Katunayake, about 32 km north of the city. Airport taxis reach central Colombo in 45–60 minutes; the expressway makes it reliable. Pre-paid taxi counters and ride-hailing (PickMe) are available in the arrivals hall. Many beach resorts in Negombo are just 10–15 minutes away, handy if you want to start your trip without the city drive.
Because the flight is so short, you can usually travel cabin-only; budget fares often include just 7 kg hand baggage, so add checked bags (typically 20–25 kg) at booking if needed. The Sri Lankan rupee is separate from the Indian rupee, so carry some local cash for taxis. Comparing Chennai versus Bengaluru routings on FlightGPT can shave both time and fare on this corridor.
No. Mysore (MYQ) has no international service; you connect via Chennai or Bengaluru, then a 1.5-hour or shorter leg to Colombo, for 4–7 hours total over about 1,010 km.
Yes — an ETA arranged online before travel, usually approved within 24–48 hours, allowing a stay of up to 30 days. There is no fee-free visa on arrival to rely on.
Chennai/Bengaluru–Colombo economy round-trips usually cost ₹14,000–₹30,000, plus about ₹3,000–₹6,000 for a Mysore–hub flight. December–March is the priciest window.
Just about 1 hour 20 minutes non-stop over roughly 720 km — one of the shortest international flights from India. Sri Lanka shares India's clock, so no time change.
December to March, the dry season for the west and south coasts, is best for beaches. Fares are around 20–30% higher then; May–September is cheaper but wetter in Colombo.
No. Colombo runs on UTC+5:30, exactly the same as India's IST, so there is a 0-minute time difference and no jet lag to manage.
