  Before check-in please do all the required shopping inside. Once you check-in the duty free ships accepts only USD and not even Srilankan currency. The airport is spacious to handle crowd at peak season. It is maintained neat. People are courteous. There are gates at two levels and if you are early to the airport better stay in ground floor.
