Traveling to Sri Lanka with Refugee Travel Document
I am a refugee and granted a refugee passport by Italy. I am planning to go to Sri Lanka for tourism and obtained ETA from Sri Lanka. I am originally from Pakistan but do not have passport or ID from my country. For travel I have just this Refugee Travel Document and Resident Permit of Italy along with the ETA approval email from Sri Lanka.
Can I go to Sri Lanka via Abu Dhabi or Zurich without any problem with airline/immigration as there is no direct flight from Italy to Sri Lanka.
Please help me regarding this question, your answer will be greatly appreciated.

In principle you can be a tourist anywhere in the Schengen area for 90 days out of every 180 days using your permesso di soggiorno. Going to Zurich is not a problem.
You will also need to carry your documento di viaggio. This is your passport-replacing travel document.
You do not need a visa to transit in the UAE as long as you remain airside. If you want to enter Abu Dhabi you should arrange a visa in advance through Etihad (you can do this on their web site after you have booked your flight).
