Ticketing

We will assist you in preparing the Druk-Air sectors, purchasing and sending you the Tickets.
Druk-Air is the only airline operating in/out of Bhutan and has a limited sector of operation and that too only on certain days of the week, this makes planning an itinerary complicated, for example Mr. X wants to arrive to Bhutan from Bangkok to Paro on Tuesday and there is no flight so we have to suggest he arrive on Wednesday when Druk-Air operates and similarly for departures. And this usually increases or decreases the duration of an itinerary for a client. The airline is a BAE 146 and has only 72 seats. Getting a seat during March/April/May & September/October/November is difficult so send you bookings early.


Alternative Air-Passage

1. Druk-Air is the only way of access by air and operates in and out of Paro (2 hours from Thimphu).
2. You can also arrive or depart by road from the Southern district of Phuntsholing (6 hours from Thimphu) and then 4 hours to Siliguri in India. At siliguri there is the Bagdogra Airport (12 km away) and has flights to Calcutta/Delhi/Bombay on alternative days or you can further go to Darjeeling (3-4hours). If you arrive from Phuentsholing our services start there.
3. Which ever you select it is compulsory to use druk-air minimum one-way if not roundtrip.
