Flight from Europe

There are no nonstop flights from Europe as yet and the dozens of airlines that operate direct routes all make at least one stop en route, which means around 12 hours of flying time. From London, Gulf Air, Lauda (Austrian Airlines), Pakistan International Airways (PIA), and Qatar Airways offer the most direct routings.  Seats with the above Airlines get booked early; there are alternatives but they take longer. Biman Bangladesh’s flight from Dhaka are worth considering for their prices, especially in Nepal’s high season but it is a long flight and one will have to wait some time in Dhaka for the connecting flight to Kathmandu. Transavia flights from Amsterdam to Kathmandu can be booked through from London on KLM but it means touching down twice in Amsterdam and Sharjah. Many other Airlines fly from London to Delhi, from where you can travel overland or catch a separate connecting flight to Kathmandu. Flying to Delhi also expands your option for getting a seat on the day of your choice, but it won’t get you there any faster, and this routing often turns out to be more expensive. Flying with Singapore and Thai Airlines from Europe means you will have to double back from Singapore or Bangkok and fairs are similar or slightly higher than the more direct routed flights.


Air France, British Airways, and KLM’s Transavia wing fly to Delhi from numerous regional British Airports via Paris, London or Amsterdam respectively.
