What happens if a flight is cancelled or you miss a connection on a single airline booking when travelling to Sri Lanka?

An itinerary receipt is generally used as proof of a confirmed flight booking; no cases were reported of service being denied solely because the traveller had this document.

If one flight segment is cancelled on a single booking, you can request a refund for the whole itinerary rather than only the cancelled leg.

If a delay on the first flight causes a missed connection, the carrier should rebook the passenger on the next available option.

If you miss a connection through your own fault, with no airline delay, do not expect a free rebooking; you will usually need to purchase new tickets yourself.

For flights, book ahead, check the timetable in advance, and confirm the trip with the carrier to reduce the risk of schedule changes or overlooked reservations.
