Boston is the biggest city in the state of Massachusetts, and the oldest in the country, founded in 1630. It played a crucial role during the American War of Independence, when it was the scene of the famous Tea Party in the bay area, and is full of historic interest. The Freedom Trail takes in 2.5 miles of walking and passes by numerous monuments including Faneuil Hall. The kids will love the New England ocean tank with its wildlife, and Boston Common is good for a walk after a shopping expedition.
Arriving in Boston
America’s oldest and most historic city has plenty to entertain and entice both leisure and business visitors.

It’s also the home of the Boston Red Sox, arguably the most famous baseball team in the world, and offers a wealth of attractions, museums, concert halls and entertainment options. Book a flight to Boston with Qatar Airways and you’ll discover a delightful city that has a unique personality and character, as well as some of the best museums, art galleries and concert halls in the United States, and plenty of retail options.
Tourist attractions
Boston is the oldest city in the United States, and has plenty of locations to explore that will give you a greater understanding of the history and culture of the country. One of the best ways to pack in as much historical sight-seeing as possible in one go is to follow the 2.5mile-long ‘Freedom Trail’, which takes you on a tour of 16 of the city’s most important historical locations. The trail includes stops at Paul Revere's House, Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, and the old State House. Simply follow the line of red paint or red bricks in the pavements, and look out for plaques at the various historical sites.
Boston’s cultural scene is second only to New York, and the Boston Symphony is a world-renowned orchestra and internationally recognised as one of the best on the planet. Their home is at Symphony Hall, and on certain days discounted ‘rush tickets’ are available, making a visit to the symphony affordable for everyone. The hall is shared by the Boston Pops Orchestra, who also put on performances during the summer months and blend classical and popular music.
During the summer one of the most popular open spaces for visitors and Bostonians alike is the Boston Common and Public Garden. This is the oldest municipal park in America, and is well known for its famous Swan boats and for having the world’s shortest suspension bridge. It’s a great starting point for touring some of central Boston’s popular tourist spots, or for a lazy picnic on a sunny afternoon.
Flying from Kathmandu
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.
