Passengers wishing to fly Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) anywhere around the world can now book their flights online from the comfort of their bedroom on Expedia.com.

Expedia is an online portal which can be used to book flights, hotels and car rentals. Expedia does not have a Pakistani version of its website.

PIA spokesperson Danyal Gilani termed the development "a milestone".

Expedia is one of three major global players for flight bookings which competes aggressively with major players Priceline and Orbitz by constantly acquiring partner companies and launching promotional campaigns.

I would book through PIA and let them have the commision (which expedia will take) instead.

sadly pia booking through expedia will be more efficient than directly at pia website.

Just thought I would check this out for travel on BHX-ISB-BHX sectors travelling outbound 25 Oct and returning 19 Nov. PIA came up with a fare of £503 but Expedia still says there are no direct flights obetween the two cities on that date. Wonder if the agreement has yet to be implemented.

By the way, I have already booked travel on Qatar Airways travelling out BHX-ISB and return KHI-BHX for £337. Hardly any incentive to travel on PIA!!

I tried looking for flights on an LHR-KHI return sector but PIA never showed up.

Interestingly enough, there is an option to use them on Kayak (no I'm not sponsored)

At times I have tried using Sky Scanner for MAN - LHE and it shows no direct flights. Qatar at £337! Wow that is a great bargain.

PIA website is sadly the least impressive and extremely poor user and customer experience.

Agreed, and it even allows you to select pair of cities, even if they do not operate between them. Many other airline sites do not allow you to select two cities between which they do not operate on. Most of the times choosing a date when there is no flight tells you no flights available, instead of redirecting to you to date when they fly
