Cathay if you have aa points

like

Etihad or Qatar.

Qatar or Etihad is the best! But if you want to use CSR, I believe they have good partnership with Korean Air too. DO NOT USE any of the legacy American Airlines. How long will you be there? Is it pleasure or work trip?

A friend is going home to get married there. But if I'm flying half way around the world I'm planning to take 2 weeks off and see some of the country too. Maybe spend some time in a layover city as welll

Take Qatar! You won't regret it! Take a lot of hand warmers and be careful with what and where you eat. There is very high probability of you getting sick. DO NOT drink tap water. And enjoy the country side. Kathmandu city itself used to be beautiful, but now it's over crowded and unmanaged. But country side is beautiful! Enjoy the Himalayas!!

What's wrong with Cathay pwc1? I work in hk often and they are my airline of choice

Nothing wrong with Cathay. They are just as good but they don't have direct flight to Nepal. If you take Cathay you'll have to downgrade to their local Dragon Air service from HK. Qatar will take you all the way to Kathmandu without switch in service. Same with Emirates.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
