KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport to Kathmandu

ORD serves as a hub for United Airlines and American Airlines. ORD also serves as a focus city for Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines. KTM serves as a hub for Nepal Airlines.

  • KTM has two currency exchange kiosks in the Arrivals lounge. There is a full-service bank in the Departures lounge. KTM also provides ATMs throughout the terminals.
  • ORD provides all-gender restrooms throughout the terminals, including in the Multimodal Facility, the grand hall where all the car rental counters are.
