Book a flight to Dallas with Qatar Airways and you’ll arrive in one of the most welcoming cities in America, where the smiles are as big as the 10-gallon hats.

The city is made up of various districts, each with their own unique personality and charm. Discovering everything that Dallas has to offer may take more than one trip, but you can guarantee you’ll be welcomed back with the same warmth and enthusiasm, no matter how often you visit.

Tourist attractions

Dallas has a wealth of museums, from the Dallas Museum of Art to the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science (hugely popular, so book your tickets in advance to ensure you can get in). The most infamous is perhaps the Sixth Floor Museum at the Texas Book Depository, from where Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President Kennedy in 1963.

Another unusual museum is the Museum of Geometric and MADI Art, which focuses on digital art rather than more traditional paintings and sculpture.

Dallas loves its sports, and if you get a chance to catch an American football game during your stay then head to the AT&T Stadium in Arlington to watch the Dallas Cowboys play.

There are also arenas for the NBA team the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center in Downtown Dallas, where you’ll also find the Dallas Stars ice hockey team.

There are plenty of open spaces in this modern city, and a great place to relax for a while is the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens along the south banks of White Rock Lake in East Dallas.

A sprawling metropolis shaped by its oil riches, Dallas is the third biggest city in Texas and home to many popular attractions. Book a flight ticket to Dallas with Qatar Airways and experience the best of both worlds – ultra-modern attractions and old-world charm.

The capital of Nepal is currently undergoing massive restoration after the devastating earthquake of 2015, but is still very much open for business, welcoming travellers and visitors. Served by Tribhuvan International Airport, this location is determined to recover from the natural disaster and welcomes visitors with a warmth and sincerity that is genuine and heartfelt. 

Travellers flying from Kathmandu with Qatar Airways will find that the airport is fully operational and well run, and that the staff are eager to ensure that travellers have a memorable and hassle-free start to their journey. 

Transportation and parking

While some transportation has been interrupted by the ongoing effects of the earthquake, regular transport from the capital to the airport has now been re-established. Buses run regularly from the centre of the city to the airport, and depending on the condition of the roads will take between 20-40 minutes. 

Many larger hotels run shuttle services to and from the airport, while taxis are plentiful and probably represent the easiest and fastest way to arrive at the terminal. Long and short-term parking is available outside the main terminal, but spaces are limited and fill up very quickly.

Arriving in Kathmandu

Passengers flying from Kathmandu with Qatar Airways depart from the International Terminal. Radisson Hotel Kathmandu operates an executive lounge for first and business class passengers. Note that security is very tight at the airport, so it is advisable to arrive in plenty of time before the due departure time for your flight to check in and clear security and customs checks. Because of the mountainous terrain, dense fog can sometimes cause delays in departures.

Facilities and amenities

The international terminal has a reasonable selection of facilities and amenities, and is comfortable, spacious and relaxed. A small selection of retail outlets sell souvenirs and accessories, and there is also a Duty Free shop selling luxury goods, perfumes and travel accessories. 

Light snacks and drinks are available from vendors, and several banks offer Bureau de Change facilities for passengers. The CIP lounge is available for business class passengers to access a limited number of business facilities, and there are two press rooms available for hire that act as small conference rooms for up to 40 people.
