Would you risk Kathmandu journey via a 'self-transfer'?

The Independent

|

October 27, 2025

QI am travelling to Kathmandu in Nepal next month, and have been holding off booking flights from London in the hope they might get cheaper.

Would you risk Kathmandu journey via a 'self-transfer'?

But fares are rising, with Qatar Airways currently nearing £1,000 return. I have seen prices of around half as much online - but they include the phrase “self-transfer”. Would you risk it? A Probably not. First, some basics. There are no longer any direct flights between the UK and Kathmandu, and I do not foresee them being reintroduced any time soon. So a change of planes is always required.

SEND must be reformed to keep vital service going

Political consensus is an unusually rare commodity these days, but there does seem to be unanimous agreement that the present system for helping children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) needs radical reform. Aspects of the current regime are grotesque, if not cruel, and have inflicted great distress on children, parents, teachers and everyone else involved. It is a major concern at every level of the state.
