Have you considered EWR instead?

Atually I am in Upstate NY and my cousins are in NYC so thats why I chose JFK, I will be driving down 4 hours to pick her up. for a new person flying out from their contry for the first time I wiuld like her to take PIA as that would atleast give her some comfort.

I knew Syracuse to be upstate/midstate NY.

Another option you may want to consider :

• same-day return, SYR-JFK as low as $175 total-forkout
  
• one-way JFK-SYR of $99 total-forkout
  

(I used July 2 as the date of travel, and evening flight JFK-SYR, with morning SYR-JFK flight for you).

That does sound good, now just to find a good price for the international ticket

Another thing to consider

Once your wife gets here, her luggage has to fit within the 50lbs limits, if her international flight weight limit is 70lbs each bag, you might run off into extra, but since you will be there, you can bring empty suitcases to share the load.

Using another airline than PIA may "widen" your flight choices for economy--as well, you can consider flights to EWR (as your wife will be on K-3, the issue of 90-day temp EAD is inapplicable).

FYI, my then-fiancee (now my wife), having never been outside India, flew to US (Detroit) on Lufthansa.

I appreciate your replies and I think I am going to broaden my range a little

http://www.karachiairport.com/pia/airlineinformation.htm This link lists all of the airlines that fly from KHI to JFK. I have worked for the airlines for over 7 years in my experience the best deal that I tend to find are over the internet, the next best thing is to go to a reliable travel agent, the last option might be to go through the reservation numbers of the airlines or go to the actuall airport they usually dont give a good deal.
