If possible, don't make payment via card credit and try to finalize your itinerary as soon as possible. Cathay pacific is a good airline; last year quite a few students traveled to Canada through it. They never shared anything concerning about their services or flight delays.

Booked with Emirates for Toronto from Peshawar to Toronto via Dubai at Rs. 133,000 for 22 August.

But Payment is due till Tuesday.

Mostly Cheap options are via American Airports that is not an option for me.

I would also like to know if there are any cheap flights from Peshawar or Islamabad to Toronto :)

But going through websites of Etihad , Gulf air , Saudi Airlines , Emirates I could not find any economy class ticket below 1 lac in August.

@Rkazi if u are getting anything below 1 lac grab it.

Check turkish airlines. They are cheapest and well under 100k. Service is okay but not great. A few friends of mine used it when they were going on immigration and initial expense was a major issue since they were going to look for work in Canada. However, the common destination is Toronto from khi, lhr or isb as far as i remember.

Occassionally, etihad is also cheap. Do check it out and it is a very good airline.

yeah true , I also dont want to go via american airports, and the one you have selected is awesome :) Emirates .... wow ,, this is the best, via dubai ,,, Wow,,, i saw it but it goes till toronto and i also saw that its stay was i guess more than 5hours in Dubai ,, which i wanted to avoid,
I wished emairates had any flight till vancouver which wouldnt go via america, All flights of emirates mostly are gooing via america,, :(

and true there are no any seats left in good repo planes :p i wanted to go via gulf but gulf wasnt going canada ..... etihad isnt going vancouver,,,
:(

So,limited for vancouver overall,,,
I guess will have to stick with cathay ...

Until last week a few seats were available in Emirates (non-US bound flights) from Karachi to Toronto via dubai. But it will be hell expensive since you will take WestJet/Air Canada connecting flight from Toronto to Vancouver. So for vancouver, Cathay seems to be the best option. Even PIA will be more expensive.

The best i had in mind was Turkish, but i checked and so far it only goes to Toronto, not Vancouver.

Like already mentioned, most others i know of, go via Seattle or other US locations which is out of question for most of students.

Are you sure about Etihad? A friend of mine went in march from Lhr to vancouver and i know he didn't have a US visa. As far as i remember, he took Etihad, but i will confirm from him and let you guys know.

Hey thanks for the opinion ,
And PIA is not so bad ,,,, :p Just one suggestion i would give you that use the washroom at the earliest and then try not to go in between or at the end lol :p I myself was going in PIA but its route it frm khi to toronto and I didnt want to go to Toronto , I wanted to go vancouver,

Cathay Pacific is very cheap right now :p
Just 87k From KHI TO VANC and in 3rd sep :p So ,, lets seee,,,,

I wanted someone who has travelled in it ...
Cathay Pacific is a very good airline, many of my friends and relatives travel to Australia and NZ via CP and they all are content with their service and scheldule

Wow what a JOKE! Lol @ reporter who did this report. Looks like this reporter deserves Honda CD 70 Bike for his useless archivement.

Do you people know any airline which has ZERO Crash Records ? (Zero in terms of Recent times) ?

1) Qantas
2) AirCanada
3) CATHAY PACIFIC!


Its the pride of Hong Kong! This airlines is of its own class (probably if you fly from HongKong) Everyone knows that every country even Thai Airways flies their OLD A330;s to Pakistan.


So these people were angry cuz Pilot saved their lives by not taking Off ? How about Pilot Flying with " ALLAH kay hawalay, or RAB kay Supurd "/

People needs to get basic sense of responsibility.

JUSt thank them that In this era where SINGAPORE AIRLINES stopped its services to pakistan in 2009. Atleast this world class airlines comes to Karachi. Huh!


Conclusion: I would still say Cathay Pacific, They have the best Crew the best flying experience. And If you dont believe me.. please ask someone who has flew from HongKong to ANYWHERE on Cathay Pacific.
