2nd option is Emirates

111000 (oneway)

Baggage 23kgx2 per ticket
7 kg hand carry
time elapsed from LHE To Toront ;21 hrs

your opinion dear!!!!!!!
Are there any international airlines offering direct flight from Karachi to Toronto? I am curious as we will be traveling with two little babies & want them to be as much as comfortable during flight by avoiding connecting flights even if this would cost us more.

Thanks.

But then how about quality of flight in terms of services during flight compare to Qatar or Emirates airlines.

I never flew with PIA for International destinations & for domestic, PIA just sucks.

Seconding Novie's post was due to fact that he mentioned PIA is used to having problems in local flights & people are ignorant to take PIA as 1st option for International travels because of this. I personally have had several local traveling via PIA, so I backed this view. Please go through again to Novie's last post for clarification.

Anyways, thanks for sharing Top20 link.

Cheers. :)

Guys I travel a lot on PIA on domestic flights.
It's not as bad as we r portraying like news channel anchors ;)
Please there is no comparison of a direct flight to the 2 or 3 connections.
PIA is only direct flight option. Price is not bad either, if with kids then it's best option.
If u want service then choose EMIRATES. That's all.

Thanks

I missed meeting my working schedules two times in row due to delays of flights. All because of mismanagement of authorities of PIA.

Reach airport in time & then u are said that flight has been called off & u need to wait for next scheduled flight is always be very disgusting. :(

But yes, direct flight for long travels is always been better over 2-3 connecting flights specially if children accompanying you.

None.
I chose PIA for myself and my family (wife and 2 kids) who will join me later. I checked with my family and friends abroad. They have no complaints with PIA. I also experienced PIA hospitality about 3-4 years ago DXB-KHI-DXB. I find their services satisfactory and their behavior far better then emirates airhostesses.

Forgot to mention i traveled with PIA 3-4 months ago to Lahore. Si i traveled thrice with PIA all in all and i am a happy customer. I wish the coming journey will also prove to be well and i pray that if any of you have decided to travel with our national carrier, he will also have a safe journey. Take care.
