Hi,

Anybody there who traveled on both airlines? can anybody share his personal experience/suggestion which airline is better for travelling to Toronto. Specially from Karachi. We have an infant too.

Hey khurrram

Im also leaving from Karachi Inshallah in May 2016 -- ive booked on turkish -- rates around 118000 for adult

Its better than pia i think cause u can break journey and walk, and rest at ist airport, thats not really a great thing for u, but infant would want that break

and PIA u know is very unpredictable

PIA is a non-stop flight to toronto, but only 4 times a week. It is convenient and gets you there in 14 hours, and it leaves Pakistan in daytime and arrives toronto in daytime. Turkish departs very early morning and arrives in evening in toronto, plus the transit time and/or waiting and going through the hassle of security again in Istanbul.
Families with kids prefer PIA as it's non-stop, as long as plane doesn't get delayed the toronto flight usually is pretty good on schedule mostly.
Turkish is more reliable and maybe offers daily flight schedules.
Upto you to choose whichever you wish.
