Hi Tom
We've just booked returns Manchester to Kathmandu, via Doha, (3 hr layover) for the start of May, for just under £900 each with Qatar airways- a bit more for seat bookings. It was cheaper to book direct with the airline than via price comparison sites and you also then have no issues if you miss the connection.
We were due to go last November and originally booked those flights 10 months in advance for almost exactly the same as we have paid now, so I’m not sure it makes a lot of difference.
I had fare notifications running for a while and it consistently appeared cheaper to book on a Mon/Tues rather than weekends, but not a huge difference.
