Pakistan Intl Airlines

Lahore to Karachi one way. Travelled Economy class on the 777-300. Flight less than half full fares not cheap at equivalent of £90 one way. Departed on time at 06.30 before any fog issues. Snack served which is just a sandwich dessert tea and coffee. Nothing substantial hence why its called a snack. Landed on time. Bags out quickly and plenty of time to get Emirates connection.

ISB-YYZ-KHI business class in July 2011. While the interior of the plane was aged the seats were very comfortable food passable and service quite good. The amenity kit and pajamas were a nice touch. No alcohol of course. For the price this is a good deal for business class. And you can't beat the timing into Toronto. Departure at 7:30 Am from Islamabad and arrival in YYZ at 1PM same day. There's no more direct route to travel between Islamabad and Toronto. From that point of view alone this flight is a good choice and worth considering particularly for Toronto bound passengers but you have to accept that this flight will not have the amenities that Emirates Etihad Qatar and other airlines that fly internationally in and out of Islamabad.

JFK-LHE-KHI. Good service comfortable 777 food was good. IFE and website/online booking and check-in really needs to be improved and was the only downside for me.

Old aircraft's poor inflight entertainment unfriendly cabin crew. Haughty and unfriendly staff at check-in. Overall a poor experience.

KHI to Colombo return on 737. Had riots in Karachi flight delayed by more than 5 hrs but the commitment shown by the staff was appreciated. In absence of stewards another cockpit crew served the passengers. Food was good. However the aircraft's condition was not what we would have like to see.

Lahore to Karachi. B777-200ER's. Nice aircraft friendly staff food quality was decent with a 10 mins delay on departure. Overall a nice service.

Islamabad to Karachi B777-300ER. Ample leg space good meal. Crew was polite and in-flight entertainment ok although not very entertaining. Seats were what you expect in Economy.

AUH-KHI return. Leg room was very good food ok - PIA still offering food on a 2 hrs flight. Cabin crew attentive and co-operative. Entertainment was non existent.

PIA has become very expensive. Staff give the impression that they do not want to be there. I was told one change of date was free but was charged Rs8000. My seat selection was unavailable but the plane was half empty. Plane was showing a lot of wear and tear. Delays are a normal they think nothing of a 2/3 hr delay.

An A310 Islamabad to Leeds Bradford. Pre departure was smooth. Seats angled lie-flat and comfortable. Flight attendants were very helpful food good. Only negative point was that IFE was poor. PTV's only showed the map as well as only 4 other movie/channel options. I would recommend it as you get an excellent value for money.
