Pakistan International Airlines flight ticket

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is Pakistan’s flag carrier and largest airline, with its primary hub at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport and secondary hubs in Lahore and Islamabad. Established in 1955, PIA now operates a fleet of over 30 aircraft and flies nearly 50 flights daily. The airline serves 20+ domestic and 25+ international destinations across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and even North America. PIA connects major Pakistani cities – from Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore to Peshawar, Quetta and Sialkot – with global hubs like Jeddah, Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Paris and Manchester. In-flight, PIA highlights Pakistani hospitality and comfort; its Business-class (“Executive Economy”) and Economy cabins offer amenities like personal entertainment screens, fine dining and attentive service.

Destinations and Route Network

• Domestic: PIA links all major regions of Pakistan. Popular routes include Islamabad–Karachi, Karachi–Lahore and Karachi–Quetta. It also serves secondary cities like Multan, Sialkot and Sukkur, plus scenic northern destinations (Gilgit, Skardu) when flying.
• International: The PIA network spans the Middle East, Asia and Europe. Key Middle Eastern routes include Saudi Arabia (Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Madinah), the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah), Qatar (Doha) and Kuwait. In Asia, PIA flies to China (Beijing) and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur). In Europe it serves London (via Manchester) and Paris. (PIA plans to resume New York service soon, reflecting its first-ever US route resume.)

With Interline and codeshare partners, PIA’s network effectively covers 100+ global destinations through connections.

Cabin Classes (Fare Types)

PIA offers two main cabin classes (sometimes marketed as Economy and “Executive Economy”):

• Executive (Business) Class: This premium cabin provides wide leather seats with extra legroom, no middle seat (vacant for privacy), and lie-flat capability on long-haul routes. Executive passengers enjoy lounge access, priority check-in and baggage, and enhanced dining menus. Each seat has a personal entertainment screen and USB power.
• Economy Class: PIA’s economy cabin features comfortable reclining seats with in-seat entertainment screens, complimentary meals and free Wi-Fi (on select aircraft). Economy travelers receive full-service amenities — from warm Pakistani meals to a personal TV screen — at a competitive fare.

Both classes include PIA’s Awards+Plus frequent-flyer program (tiers Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond) allowing points towards free flights, upgrades and more.

Baggage Allowance and Policy

PIA’s baggage rules vary by route and fare type. Generally:

• Weight vs. Piece Concept: On most routes PIA uses a weight-based system, while flights to/from the Americas use a piece-based system. Under the weight concept, Economy tickets typically allow one checked bag up to ~30 kg. If bags exceed 30 kg total, two pieces are permitted. Under the piece concept, Economy may allow two checked bags (23 kg each) on international routes.
• Checked Baggage: Economy passengers normally get 1 piece (23–30 kg) on domestic flights and 2 pieces (23 kg each) on international flights. Executive/Business class passengers usually enjoy heavier allowances (often up to 40–50 kg total, split between two bags).
• Carry-On Allowance: Economy travelers may carry one cabin bag (≤7 kg) plus a personal item. Executive/Business travelers get one 7 kg cabin bag plus a small briefcase (5 kg), for a combined 12 kg. Standard dimensions (115 cm linear: 55×38×22 cm) apply to carry-ons.
• Infants and Special Items: Infants are typically allowed 10 kg checked baggage. PIA accepts common sports or musical equipment for a fee; prohibited items follow standard IATA rules.

PIA’s flexible baggage policy means specific allowances depend on your exact route, fare purchased and class. Travelers should verify allowances at booking.

Onboard Services and Entertainment

PIA emphasizes a comfortable in-flight experience:

• In-Flight Entertainment: Every seat (in both cabins) offers an individual screen with movies, TV shows, games and music. Recent Boeing 777 and A320neo aircraft are equipped with modern IFE systems. Wi-Fi internet is available on selected international flights.
• Dining & Refreshments: Passengers enjoy complimentary meals and beverages on all flights. Menus feature both international cuisine and Pakistani specialties (like biryani or kebabs), with options for halal, vegetarian or children’s meals on request. Business-class menus offer gourmet multi-course dining with premium drinks.
• Cabin Comfort: PIA’s newer aircraft have modern seats with ample legroom. Executive class cabins provide recline-to-flat beds, plush pillows and blankets. Every cabin has friendly cabin crew trained in Pakistani hospitality. Passengers with special needs (wheelchairs, infants, etc.) receive dedicated assistance.
