Airport pickup and drop-off
Make the airport part simple
We can help arrange pickup or drop-off between CMB airport and Airport Gateway Residence. Send your flight number, arrival time, guest count and luggage size before you travel.
What to send
Flight number: so arrival time can be checked if your flight changes.
Landing time: especially for late-night or early-morning arrivals.
Guest count: include children and luggage size.
WhatsApp number: useful for quick coordination at the airport.
Late arrivals: see the late-arrival guide if you land at night.
First or last night: read the arrival and departure guide if you are planning around a flight.
Arrival tips
Confirm price first
Ask for the current pickup or drop-off price before confirming the ride.
Allow traffic time
The airport is close, but Sri Lankan traffic can still surprise you at busy hours.
Need a room too?
Check the room details before choosing direct, Airbnb or Booking.com.
Need WiFi after landing?
See the WiFi and workspace notes if you need to check in online, message family or work after arrival.
Airport transfer questions

Is pickup useful late at night?
Yes. It removes guesswork after landing, especially if it is your first night in Sri Lanka.
