About 9 - 10 hrs if going direct. You may have a change of flight in Dubai

...or Colombo, depending who you're flying with?

If its Emitarates via Dubai you get a 4 hour stop over on the way there (or so) on the way back you have to run! I cant remember our total airtime but probably about 10 or 11 hours, then another wait for the flying taxi.

It was for me. Watch out for footprints on the toilet seats at Dubai though.
