Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from LAX to KTM last minute?
Booking your flight from Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) to KTM at the last minute could save you dollars if you’re lucky to find an epic deal. However, tickets usually don’t get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you hold out, flights could also be sold out or the best seats taken (don’t get stuck in the middle!). If you’d rather not hedge your bets, book well ahead of when you want to leave. Don’t forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.

From Los Angeles, you can connect to Kathmandu via Tribhuvan Intl. Airport (KTM), Simara Airport (SIF) and Ramechhap (RHP). It’s a good idea to check which terminal is best for you before you make a decision. If you choose Tribhuvan Intl. Airport (KTM), it’s roughly 2 mi southeast of downtown. Use the money you save when booking your seat with Expedia to enjoy the city’s awesome attractions, such as Boudhanath and Kathmandu Durbar Square.
