hi, i am planning my landing on mid of august. I have searched a lot of airlines for a cheaper but comfortable flight ( as i have to travel with two kids but saving money is also a necessity). among the flight from dhaka to toronto the PIA is the cheapest and its schedule is also comfortable. it will also provide hotel at karachi. But i know nobody who has travel experience with PIA. Can anyone tell me regarding the service. are they trustworthy? i mean do they provide everything they promise? is there any hassling in Karachi?
I am going to travel during the month Ramadan but my wife can not fast while she travel by air? are they going to provide food during journey on that month?
thanks

I have good experience with PIA in B-Class from LHR-ISB & DXB-ISB, but their economy class is not on par with other airlines operating on the similar routes. compared to major airlines which fly from South-East Asia to YYZ (excluding Air India, never traveled with them), my experience was with Etihad Airways, their plane from ISB-AUH was not great, but for AUH-YYZ segment a very nice plane with extra room b/w economy class seats ( I am 6' 3'', you can understand ;D). Emirates now flies A380 b/w DXB-YYZ.
