hello all
I have done with medicals and soon gona get ppr. hopefully by jan I will get PR visa. I m planning to depart in feb inshAllah.
now I would like to have some suggestions from you guys. 1st of all which flight to take from Karachi to Toronto?
some options under budget/economy class are like
range in PKR
220000 to 285000
PIA
Saudi airlines
Turkish airline
Etihad airways
cathay pacific
300000+
emirates
Qatar air
Singapore airlines
now only pia operates a direct flight, others are having from 1 stop to upto 4 stops. with recent problems going on in PIA, my heart is not favoring it. what u guys says? any advice or suggestions? and how soon should I book tickets to get good price like 1 month b4 or 2 months b4 or what?
second thing in economy class, almost all flights are allowing two bags as checked baggage with 23 kg each, total 46 kg per person and 7 kg cabin baggage with additional laptop bag or a short bag pack. what things we must take with us in limited 46kg? I have read on internet that people suggests not to bring any of the electronics and electrical items except laptop and mobile phones, cos they have this 110 volt issue and 2ndly everything is available there are discount stores so instead of bringing them in limited weight, buy from there. no need to bring hair dryers, hot plates, electric shavers, etc
same goes for crockery things.....like cooking utensils, plates, spoons, knives and else else. even cooking ingredients like masala and other things are available there.
people says only bring warm cloths.....inner wears and what ever quality warm cloths u can, woolen cloths, sweaters, muflers, gloves, socks, still the upper and jackets and boots have to buy from there.
kids cloths are very costly, bring as much kid cloths with u as u can. there are no discount or bargain clothing shops in Canada, like we have zainab market in Karachi, hyderi market or other cloth stores where cheap quality cloths can be bought regardless of brand thing.
so if its all true, then we have to take with us only cloths.....and nothing.
members who have landed there regardless of any nationality please shed some light on this thing. also give me advice and suggestions on these things. I have a family of 2, a wife and kid of 3 years age.
thanks
