FLYING

There are flights from Chengdu and Chongqing, and reportedly also from Urumqi.

There are two daily flights from Chengdo to Lhasa. It costs about CNY 1500.

During the summer there is a flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa. It is operated by Nepal Air. It operates about 2 - 3 times a week and costs USD 190. Hope for good weather! The flight goes right past Mount Everest.

The Southwest China Airline flight from Lhasa to Kathmandu is usually heavily overbooked. Be at the airport _very_ early (3 or more hours.) It seems that not the reconfirmation, but the time of arrival at the airport determines who gets on and who not.
