Travel to Pakistan

Any idea which airlines are most economical? Also, do you think that they will allow you to bring gifts for pets on the plane?

Check sites such as expedia, orbitz, ... and also airlines that fly to LHE, ISB or KHI (you may get cheaper fares from the airlines than from those sites).

Gifts, yes you can so long as it is not forbidden items such as liquor.

I agree Emirate is better then PIA. If you go with PIA its NON stop and will save you about 5-7 hours. Emirates go to dubai and then to Pakistan....

Hello. Thanks for replying. If I take PIA is that a decent flight? Also, is there much turbulence? I heard PIA has really bad turbulence in comparison with other airlines. Also, is it cheaper to book directly through PIA via their website or to get the ticket from Karachi aiport via my fiance?

Have you ever taken Etihad?

I have flied both PIA and Emirates to Karachi.

PIA sucked!! There was this really bad smell on all my flights, the air hostesses are quite rude, the seats are tight, there is barely any space between seats. Only good thing is that it's a direct flight but everything including the customer service sucked.

Emirates is much better in comparison. The food is better, the air hostesses are nicer, it's much more comfortable, there is lots of in flight entertainment and the seats are more comfortable than the PIA one. Only downside is, it stops in Dubai for two to three hours but those two to three hours go really fast as there is a lot to at the Abu Dhabi airport.

I am flying to Karachi in December and this time taking Etihad as the flight was cheaper than Emirates at Orbitz.com American sites usually don't offer tickets for PIA so you need to buy directly from their site or a travel agent if you want to fly PIA.

Yes, you know I had heard from my sister everything you are saying about PIA and the same about Emirates so I guess everyone has had similar experiences. I know from my own experiences with traveling that I surely need comfort especially for a lengthy flight such as this. I saw one site that did offer PIA tickets, I forget the name but it was some kind of consolidator website. I do not want to fly PIA. Is Abu Dhabi airport a nice one? I have never been there what kind of things are there to do there?
