Lhasa is served primarily by Lhasa Gonggar Airport (LXA), which functions as the region’s main gateway rather than a large international hub, handling most flights to and from other Chinese cities and a limited number of regional services. Airlines operating here are typically domestic carriers and some regional operators, with fares that can be higher than low‑cost routes into major Chinese hubs due to demand and operational costs. The airport sits about 62 km southwest of central Lhasa; transfers by airport shuttle or taxi usually take around 60–90 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly the equivalent of a modest local fare to a moderate taxi rate. Pros: direct access to Tibet with scenic approach, basic amenities and straightforward connections; cons: longer road transfer to the city, fewer airline choices, and potential altitude considerations for travelers.

Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is Kathmandu’s primary international gateway and usually functions as Nepal’s main hub for full-service and regional carriers, while several smaller domestic airfields around the Kathmandu Valley handle local flights. KTM is close to the city center—typically a 20–40 minute drive depending on traffic—served by taxis, private transfers and occasional hotel shuttles; fares can range from modest meter rates to higher fixed prices for airport taxis. The terminal is compact and can be busy, so expect basic amenities and variable queues; it can be convenient for short transfers but less comfortable during peak times. Travelers should note mountain weather or traffic may affect travel times, and budget carriers often use simpler check-in facilities compared with international airlines.
