How much fare difference and how much flight time on ATR ?

PK313, on 28th August, from Lahore to Karachi, showing Duration '2hr 30m' and for Rs.9120(Economy) and Rs.19336(Eco+)

[CoyBoy]

Bet it wont last long, a late night flight on a prop with almost three hours flying time, will go way of the night coach atleast those used jets.

[faiq]

May be its an attempt to give pilots from Lahore base and to some extent Karachi base more flying hours in short time so they can quickly convert to A320s to fill in the shortage.
