Why fly when you can walk in from Jiri and out the same way? Flights are never dependable in Nepal. You will have the time for it.
As you are short of time, you are probably holding steady jobs at home so u can afford to take a taxi to Jiri. Then, you will have enough time to trek up to Kala Pattar, cross Cho La and return to Jiri.
In April and May it starts to get hot in the lower valleys, so try to ge as much time as possible in Khumbu, where it will be spring.

: Hi,
: We're due to arrive in Kathmandu on 11th April, and flying back to the UK on 5th May. The intention WAS to trek from Jiri to Gokyo Lakes and then fly out from Lukla, although this won't be possible as the airstrip is closed for repairs. We thought about flying in and out from Paphlu, although this would mean missing the Jiri-Paphlu part of the trek which would be a shame. Does anybody know how if I can book flights in and out from Paphlu from the UK? Alternatively, could we walk in from Jiri and then fly out from Syangboche - is this possible?
: I'd be SOOO grateful if anyone could help out on this one!!
