Yes Snow White booked our airfare as well.. we wired them the money for the tour+airfare before arriving in Bhutan. (All money went initially into the government escrow account rather than to the tour company itself). The owner Kencho did an excellent job she and managed to get us in all the best hotels.

The flight was about 2.5 hrs. We got a seat on the left side of the plane DEL-PBH and right side PBH-DEL to get a great view of Mt. Everest.

We were there in the winter, late December. Weather was fine during the day (50s) and chilly at night (below freezing in Phobjikha valley). There was no snow except at the two mountain passes, and then just a dusting on the ground.

I never did get around to writing a trip report for that trip... but my photos are up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/hautebo...7623505530422/
