Should be, because it is standard de-branding practice.

AP-BLY; a graceful look.

BTW, you can see clearly marked position of the Flight recorders.

I personally noted that ex-Air Asia A320 series aircraft are well marked, even a single pin point hole on the fuselage is marked, and described well. This is a good professional practice and should be adopted by PIA.

Considering the price difference between business and economy I wouldn't pay for business class on an A320 with decade old recliners.

I don't think there is much of a utility in putting in flat, sleepers in business class. The A320's are for short haul flights, they serve a different purpose completely. This might be not be the best example but all your legacy carriers in the US have the same recliners in their narrowbodies and the price difference between economy and business class here is ridiculous but their product does extremely well because its marketed appropriately despite minimal fringe benefits.

Is that lighter shade of green for Pakistan flag on A320 tail? The green for cabin door outline is appearing darker in this photo.

BTW, official Pakistan flag colour is dark green.

I personally would. Even though there is quite a difference between Business and Economy, these planes, like Charliedelta11 said these planes are for short journeys (2-3 hours). The best example is Qatar airways' A320's Business Class, which is almost very similar, as is Etihad's. Though I wouldn't sit in these seats for any more than 4-5 hours. If for example Bangkok is relaunched, then Business Class is necessary. Not everyone would like to be crammed into small slim-line A320 seats with almost no recline, I am sure :D

This is due to a little bit editing.

AP-BLY still inactive. Most probably, its first flight will be a VIP flight.
