Question 13

What are the benefits of the different airports in London and Kathmandu?

Accepted Answer

If you can choose whether to fly out of Gatwick or Heathrow on your flights from London to Kathmandu, bear in mind that Gatwick is the smaller of the two airports. While it has all the same amenities as Heathrow, such as shops, restaurants, and lounges, it is far easier to navigate, and queues are likely to be shorter. Stansted is smaller than the other London airports and is slightly further from London, so your trip there will take longer. Kathmandu Tribhuvan, the main international airport for Nepal, is a small airport that can get fairly busy. It is possible to get your tourist visa at the airport, meaning there are often crowds of people queuing up to get their passports stamped. There are a couple of ATMs and a money change counter at the airport, but it may be better to get money through your hotel if possible.
