Buddha Air has entered into a new partnership with Hotel Pauwa, introducing exclusive hospitality benefits for members of its Royal Club frequent-flyer programme. Under the partnership, Royal Club members can receive special rates on accommodation, a 10 percent discount on food and beverages, and a complimentary welcome drink when staying at Hotel Pauwa. The offer is valid from August 7, 2026, to August 7, 2027, providing Buddha Air passengers with additional benefits beyond air travel and strengthening the connection between aviation and the hospitality sector.
Partnership designed to improve the travel experience
The partnership is aimed at creating a more convenient and rewarding experience for frequent travelers by linking air travel with hotel services. Rather than limiting Royal Club benefits to flights and mileage rewards, Buddha Air has continued to develop a network of partner businesses where members can receive discounts and other privileges. The Hotel Pauwa agreement adds another hospitality option to this network, allowing eligible travelers to receive benefits when using the hotel’s accommodation and dining services.
Buddha Air describes the initiative as part of its effort to provide greater value to Royal Club members. The airline’s Royal Club program is its frequent flyer program, through which members can earn mileage points from eligible Buddha Air flights and access selected benefits and partner discounts. According to Buddha Air’s official information, Royal Club membership is free and is open to eligible individuals aged over 12. Members receive a digital membership card and can earn mileage through eligible domestic flights.
Members receive accommodation and dining privileges
Under the new Hotel Pauwa partnership, the key benefits include special stay rates, 10 percent off food and beverages, and a complimentary welcome drink. These benefits are particularly relevant to travelers who require accommodation before or after a flight or who want to combine their journey with a hotel stay. Buddha Air’s Royal Club program already provides members with access to a broad range of partner discounts covering hotels, restaurants, shopping, healthcare, transportation and other services. The airline’s official discount partner listing shows that Royal Club members can receive accommodation and food and beverage discounts at participating hotels in several destinations across Nepal.
Hotel Pauwa expands its role in the Royal Club network
Hotel Pauwa is already represented in Buddha Air’s official Royal Club partner network in Dhangadhi, where the listed benefits include 10 percent discounts on rooms and 10 percent on food and beverages. The hotel is listed at Chhatakpur, Dhangadhi-03, with the partnership information published by Buddha Air. Hotel Pauwa’s participation reflects the broader role hotels can play in airline loyalty programmes. For travellers, accommodation is an important part of the overall journey, particularly for passengers travelling between cities or staying overnight before continuing their trip. By connecting hotel services with its frequent flyer programme, Buddha Air can provide members with benefits that extend beyond the airport and into the destination.
Royal Club offers benefits beyond flight tickets
The Buddha Air Royal Club program is structured around mileage earning, redemption and partner privileges. Members can earn mileage points on eligible Buddha Air scheduled domestic flights, while accumulated points can be used for selected rewards and benefits under the program’s applicable rules. The program also has different membership tiers, including Gold, Platinum and Diamond, with benefits and qualification requirements varying by tier.
The program’s partner network is another important component. Buddha Air says members can use their Royal Club card to access discounts at participating businesses. The official partner list includes hotels and resorts in destinations such as Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj, Janakpur, Bhadrapur, Chitwan and Dhangadhi. This network enables the airline to connect its passengers with tourism and hospitality businesses across different parts of Nepal.
A boost for airline hospitality cooperation
The Buddha Air Hotel Pauwa partnership also demonstrates the growing importance of airline hotel collaboration in Nepal’s tourism and hospitality industry. Airlines are an important link between destinations, while hotels provide accommodation and other services once travelers arrive. Partnerships between the two sectors can therefore create a more integrated travel experience while helping businesses reach customers through established tourism networks.
For Hotel Pauwa, becoming part of Buddha Air’s Royal Club benefits network provides an opportunity to reach frequent flyers and travelers who actively use the airline’s services. For Buddha Air, partnerships with hotels help expand the practical value of its loyalty program and provide passengers with additional reasons to engage with Royal Club.
Partnership remains valid for one year
The newly announced offer will remain valid for one year, from August 7, 2026, through August 7, 2027. Travelers interested in using the benefits should check the applicable conditions when making a reservation, as partner offers can have specific terms and exclusions. Buddha Air’s Royal Club information also states that partner discounts may not apply during certain promotions or events. Royal Club members can access the latest information about participating partners and benefits through Buddha Air’s official Royal Club platform. The airline’s terms also state that members should familiarise themselves with the applicable programme rules before redeeming or using benefits.
Strengthening the link between flying and hospitality
The partnership between Buddha Air and Hotel Pauwa represents a practical effort to bring together two essential parts of the tourism experience: transportation and accommodation. By offering Royal Club members hotel discounts, dining savings, and a welcome benefit, the agreement gives frequent travelers additional value during their journeys. The initiative also contributes to the wider development of Nepal’s tourism ecosystem by encouraging cooperation between airlines and hospitality businesses. As travelers increasingly seek convenient and value-added experiences, such partnerships can help create a more connected travel journey while strengthening relationships between aviation companies, hotels, and tourism service providers.
Overall, the Buddha Air Hotel Pauwa partnership is an important addition to the Royal Club loyalty network, offering members tangible hospitality benefits while creating a stronger connection between air travel and accommodation services. With the offer running until August 2027, the partnership is expected to provide Royal Club members with additional value when planning their stays and dining experiences.
