Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is Nepal’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s primary hub for full-service and regional carriers, with a growing number of low-cost flights. It sits relatively close to the city center—about 5–7 km—so road transfers usually take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Options include taxis, ride-hailing services and airport shuttles; fares can range from modest local taxi rates to higher app-based prices during peak times. Pros: fast international connections and proximity to central Kathmandu. Cons: limited terminal capacity, occasional congestion and fewer premium amenities compared with larger global hubs.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub handling most international and premium carriers, and by Al Maktoum International (DWC) farther south, which often hosts budget and some cargo flights. DXB sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai and is typically reachable by metro (30–40 minutes, modest fares) or taxi (20–30 minutes, higher fares depending on traffic). DWC is around 35–50 km from the city centre and can require longer transfers by bus or taxi (45–75 minutes), sometimes involving shuttle services from hotels. DXB is usually praised for frequent services and extensive connections but can be busy at peak times; DWC can be cheaper for low-cost carriers but involves longer ground transfers and fewer amenities.
