Colombo operates on Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) year-round. San Francisco is on Pacific Time, which is UTC-8 during Standard Time (approximately November to March) and UTC-7 during Daylight Time (approximately March to November). This means San Francisco is 13.5 hours behind Colombo in winter and 12.5 hours behind in summer.

From Colombo, Singapore Airlines services arrive at San Francisco International Airport. The airport offers clear signage, ground transport options, and onward connections across the Bay Area and beyond.

We recommend arriving at Bandaranaike International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore, as you will be checking in for a long-haul journey with a connecting flight. This allows time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.

Entry requirements for the United States of America depend on your nationality, travel purpose, and length of stay. We advise checking the latest information with the relevant embassy or official government website well before departure, and ensuring your passport and any required documents are in order.
