FAQs - booking Kathmandu flights

  • Which airlines fly to Kathmandu?

    Many major airlines serve Kathmandu, including Emirates, Qatar Airways, KLM, Air India and Turkish Airlines. As there are no direct flights to Kathmandu available from the UK, your journey will include a layover in your airline’s hub city, for example Dubai, Qatar or Istanbul.

  • What kind of services does Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport offer?

    Kathmandu Airport is quite small and basic in the services it offers, the majority of which are in the Departures zone. Besides a few snack bars, you will find one duty-free shop and some stalls selling local handicrafts, souvenirs and postcards. There is a post office in the International Terminal (landside) and a few charging stations in the International Departures zone. As in all other airports, you will find toilet facilities, however you may need to provide your own toilet paper and soap.

  • Is there a lounge I can access at Kathmandu Airport?

    Travellers on flights to Kathmandu who are looking for a place to relax away from the bustle of the airport can do so in the Executive Lounge, located landside on the 2nd Floor of the International Terminal. The lounge offers meals, snacks, drinks, newspapers and a television and is open daily from 06:00 to 23:00. Economy passengers may access the lounge by pre-booking a pass online or paying a fee on the door if there is space.

  • How much is a taxi from Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport to the city centre?

    Pre-paid, metered and non-metered taxis are available round the clock at Kathmandu Airport, all with varying rates. To get to the city centre, you can expect to pay around 550-1000 NPR (3.50-6.50 GBP) in a pre-paid taxi or 400-600 NPR (2.50-4 GBP) in a metered taxi. If you choose a non-metered taxi, you will need to negotiate a fare with the driver before getting in.

  • Can I exchange currency at Kathmandu Airport?

    If you need some local currency after your flight to Kathmandu – a good idea if you plan to use a taxi or public transport to complete your journey – you will find a currency exchange counter downstairs in the International Arrivals Hall. An ATM is also available just outside the airport, to the right-hand side as you exit the terminal.

  • Are direct flights to Kathmandu available from the UK?

    Direct flights to Kathmandu are not available from UK airports. Instead, Kathmandu flights usually involve a single layover, often in the United Arab Emirates. If you fly to Kathmandu from Manchester Airport with Qatar Airways, you will change planes at Doha International Airport. Meanwhile, if you fly from London Gatwick or from Birmingham Airport with Emirates, you will stopover at Dubai Airport.

  • Can I reduce my carbon emissions on Kathmandu flights?

    If you’re concerned about your carbon footprint, you can cut your emissions by more than 50% if you fly to Kathmandu from London Heathrow with Air India. This route involves a single layover in Delhi. You can also lower your emissions by flying from Manchester Airport with multiple airlines. However, this will require you to make several stops before you land in Kathmandu and may be slightly more expensive than more direct routes.

  • How far is Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport from central Kathmandu?

    Central Kathmandu is 3 miles away from Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport.

  • What is the name of Kathmandu’s airport?

    When flying to Kathmandu, you'll arrive at Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport (KTM). The airport is also known as Tribhuvan.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights to Kathmandu?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly to Kathmandu with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight to Kathmandu?

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kathmandu

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Kathmandu flight deals.
  • The first thing that you will notice when arriving at Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport (KTM) is the mountainous scenery surrounding it. Travellers on flights to Kathmandu from Europe and countries to the West will usually find the best views from the left-hand side of the plane.
  • Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport is divided into two terminals: International and Domestic. Situated side by side, it is easy to walk between the two (even with luggage), although some porter touts may try to claim that it isn’t.
  • When claiming your baggage at Kathmandu Airport, you will need to show the portion of your luggage tag that was attached to your boarding pass – make sure you don’t throw this away before you have left the terminal building! Luggage trolleys are available at baggage reclaim and free to use.
  • Feeling hungry when you arrive at Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport? The majority of food outlets at the airport – largely limited to snack bars – are in the Departures section, but there is one Airport Restaurant in the terminal building. Some shops also sell sandwiches, tea and coffee.
  • Weary travellers arriving on long flights to Kathmandu may want nothing more than to sleep and fortunately, there are several hotels more or less opposite the airport. The Hotel Meridian Suite, the Regal Airport Hotel, the Summit Residency and the Palagya Hotel are all 2min drive away from Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport – it is worth booking a free shuttle transfer to avoid crossing a busy major road on foot.
  • If you are travelling further into the city and prefer using public transport, green public buses connect the airport to the city centre at irregular intervals. The price for a one-way ticket is 20 NPR (0.15 GBP).

If you want quick flights that are slightly cheaper, you could also fly from Manchester Airport or from London Heathrow Airport with Qatar Airways.

First time and very memorable, the finest flying experience ive ever had

The boarding process was smooth and the stewardesses were nice. Some delays with drinks at the end of the flight, but no issues.

Excellent comfort and entertainment. Service poor..Food average with little choice.

Comfort poor, little leg room, cabin temperature too hot. No free entertainment. No complementary drinks. Overal experience poor and would not travel with them again.

Comfort good. Service as usual poor. Cabin temperature as usual too cold, about 15 degrees

Flight was delayed by and hour but were informed beforehand

Boarding, seats, entertainment and service were all great. Food was great except for the fact that there were too many sweet items.

Very bad groud crew taking bags less than 7kg Bad food Old plane

Flight was on time. Seats (economy) were very comfortable and food was excellent. The bad thing was that after landing it took an hour to reach arrivals. We had to wait 15mins to get off the plane and then had to board a bus which moved very slowly and took almost 30 minutes.

Delayed, Bad American style food (not tasty, horrible cheese for a flight to France). Incompetent cabin crew (I asked how to connect by cable my headphones and the flight attendant suggested me Bluetooth which is not available). Good space

The flight gate was changed and all the pessengers were waiting at the gate #2 for boarding, There were 4 (four) employees standing at the boarding desk and no one ever said anything about the gate changed. Finaly when I noticed an employee was removing the boarding zone signs, it surprised me something is not right, so I went and ask that employee what happned - she said the gate has been changed. So, i questioned again which gate it would be, she told me gate #5. I look for Gate 5 - which was down stairs. When I went to gate 5 - no body was at that gate which depress me a lot because it was already a bording time pass. Later I checked on the departure screen for my flight - it was gate #1, so I had to go back again upstairs in hurry as the boarding time already pass. They never anounced or telling customer anything at the original boarding gate - WHICH WAS TOTALY STUPID. I am 77 yrs old and what they the employees and the managers care about) care about how I can handle all this going back and forth. Air India is just advertising they are getting bigger but their services are just BOGUS and I don't expect it would be any better. They are getting worst and worst than they use to be.

It was just like any other budget airline in India—nothing extraordinary. The check-in at CCU was surprisingly smooth and effortless, as expected after online check-in. But BOM? They had me join the regular check-in queue, while six Bag-Drop counters were busy doing the same thing. Makes you wonder how Vistara plans to promote web check-in if passengers end up in line anyway.

Flight was delayed more than 18 hours, checked in bag damaged, no accountability from vistara ground staff. Worst experience. Shall compensate all the charges with double Ticket refund

The flight was an hour late. There were no gate announcements or displays. After getting on the plane, there was a further delay without any explanation.

The flight was on time. I upgraded to Premium Economy and it was comfortable. The food was very good. Staff were courteous.

Flight was delayed but no announcements were made. Till the boarding it was still showing original schedule time at the monitor and also on your mobile app. It left the gate half hour later than scheduled.

It’s really very nice experience with very nice behaviour respected crews n all Vistara members thankyou so much Vistara to give us humble hospitality

My wife with 5 month son were traveling. No proper support was provided for luggage handling. Although it was requested in prior. My wife sole manage everything and was not as expected.

This was an old 320 without a screen or USB charging port even in the business class. The food could have been better.

a real good flying experince. Everything was excellent right from check-in to baggage collection at destination.

Worst air experience in whole life . Boarding and checking was hassle as they did 3 times. Crew team was clueless about passengers need. Despite of passengers raising hand , they were resetting the program

There was not enough food for everybody. Some dishes were missing.

Very unimpressed that I was dumped from the seat I had booked and paid for after check in. Apparently a family wanted to sit together, however as they all were adults I think they should have pre booked their seats like I did. I will be approaching Qatar for a refund. That and the dreadful state of the flooding toilets made me wonder how they managed to be voted the best airline. Not worth the money.

Delayed my flights and no communication. We end up spending 6 hrs in Doha. No food or any concern from the airline. Terrible

Do not overbook flights and kick out confirmed ticketed passengers :-(

The rows of seats in economy class are seriously close to one another making eating and resting just about impossible - there is hardly any legroom. Anyone larger than average size would have an incredibly uncomfortable flight. I had to basically share my seat with the lady passenger next to me as she was too big to fit into her allotted seat.

Food was good, attendants were friendly. Seats were not comfortable. Did not receive any amenities such as eyemask or earplugs that would have helped sleep. Additionally a large group of passengers boarded very late into boarding and were a disruption for almost the whole flight. Flight attendants did their best but the kids were making so much noise, kicking seats, and half the time no adult was sat with them so they weren’t being managed.

Good staff, good intent, decent entertainment. More seat space would always be of benefit

More facilities to transport to the gates......felt too much walking distance

Qatar airways from Doha to guangzhau was excellent big bird Boeing 777 more room and smoothly flight, I Love it

Food is getting worse. They use to be different than other airlines. Their economy classes food sucks. Stuff was very helpful.

Unbelievable food and service! Chefs are amazing onboard. WiFi spotty

In this long haul flight, flight attendants never stopped moving and giving excellent service. Very impressive. Very comfortable seats and excellent food

It was my first time flying with Turkish Airlines, but I found the staff—from the airport to the cabin crew—to be somewhat dismissive and overly direct. This experience left me feeling discouraged about even considering a visit to Turkey in the future.

Bad service and food was not good. Give very less food.

Cleanliness of seats, trays, storage pockets need more attention, but everything else was good.

Their weakness is in boarding. Business class rarely boards first and there are no announcements explaining delays, so customers are always left waiting and wondering why boarding has paused.

The flight was delayed so connection was missed. In Istanbul we were taken to a hotel and no one in the hotel knew so we had to wait hours in the lobby of the hotel while the airline and hotel coordinated. The airline staff is rude at times

Istanbul to Miami is a very long flight, somewhat uncomfortable, especially because the seating offers very limited space outside of business class.

Very old plane on the Istanbul to Bangkok flight, had an emergency exit isle row, no where to put anything, on a plus point loads of leg room. Food was the best I have had in 39 years of flying.

Food is good, staff is good... Wi-fi quality is poor, disembarkment after landing is atrocious.

Poor hygiene in the lavatories. Limited control of passengers who often were up standing around my seat talking loudly with their friends.

Boarding at Mumbai airport was terrible, the staff had no idea how to handle it. It was chaos - and led to a delay

Mumbai to New York was not comfortable as I was given different sits in hat what I paid for

The flight got delayed and was not updated in time.

Good experience, comfortable seats. Entertainment did not work but vista wifi and entertainment worked great.

I had a camera bag that exceeded the 10kg allowance for hand luggage. I am 67 years old and have been travelling will my cameras and lenses all over the world and have not paid once for the excess weight. Also, even if I wanted to check in the bag, I can’t due to lithium batteries and delicate equipment. Air India should review their policies. Or is it just a cash grab. I had to pay additional 7000 rupees.

The aircraft interiors are falling apart. Felt like a waste paying for business class as it was indistinguishable from economy in any way.

Poor behavior by ground staff in Mumbai. Very harassing. Initially they did not let me board with my little violin. They do not have the correct information. No concept of hospitality. The food on the flight was not good.

Information about when boarding would start was missing. Ground staff wasn't ready to provide any information with the answer being in the next 15 minutes any time we asked. (Took 2 hours)
