What should I check before booking flights to Nepal?

The short answer

Check baggage rules, the day-of-week schedule, airport terminal and the time of arrival. Small airline routes may run only on certain days, so build your itinerary around them. Arrival times late in the evening mean you should confirm hotel check-in and pickup in advance.

Trekkers should check what baggage is allowed on domestic flights, since limits are tighter than international ones. Keep documents handy and arrive early for security and immigration.
