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.
-
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.
