did anyone recently travel from PIA to Karachi if yes how was the experience and how much was the ticket. I jst called PIA and they told me the fare is $2200.00 which I think not correct its usually $1300 or $1400.
I will appreciate if anyone can share any info.
usually its betweem 1300-1400 but right now its peak time, esp due to eid and ramadan being near and holidays from schools... wait till august-nov and the prices will be down again... or call your agent and simply ask them when is the low fare time... best of luck....
as far as experience goes on a PIA... hehe... its a circus up there... going to there isnt that bad and its not normally jam packed... i went in nov and had lots of empty seats around, so wasnt too noisy and nor was it crowded. however, coming back was a pain in the rear as always, tooo many bachas, bring noise cancelling ear muffs or head phones... and its gona be packed and well, you will have to experience it to believe it.... make sure u are not on a conecting flight to isl (mostly it is)... that will make the suffering a bit longer.
when u get to KHI airport, dont appear as a headless chicken who is confused or lost, as the immigration officer might give u inconvenience and bother you, know in advance where you are going to stay, their address and phone number etc handy, show ur documents promptly, and look in control of things, and you should be fine. also keep some loose Pakistani Currency on you... as the luggage handlers will ask you for that green note as tip... and will come up with world of stories... have like 50-200 rupees handy it gets the job done fast.
