Booking flights from London to ISB/PEW

Post by uzairali »

Hello

I see PIA is charging 650 pounds and other airlines charge 440 pounds

Dates of travel is around 19 february and return 7 march (flexible)

Anyway to find airfare cheaper? I haven't booked tickets from london to pakistan before, so be glad is someone can teach any tricks. I don't live in london so I cannot book with agent there. I am coming from canada and need 2 seperate tickets, hence booking this journey starting gatwick/heathrow.

My first port of call when booking is always www.skyscanner.net:

A quick search on it for your preferred dates for LON-ISB-LON gives a very good options such as:

Oman Air £350
Etihad £359
Emirates £383

Fares for Peshawar are more expensive.

Gulfair is £417
Emirates £449


Hope this helps.

Skyscanner indeed, plus Momondo and Kayak. Personally prefer the latter for its option to specify available payment options and incorporate the fees for those in the prices it displays, but in the end all three aggregate results from both OTAs and airlines. In some cases, visiting from a search result on these sites actually leads to lower prices than checking with an OTA directly.

Only difference is PIA flies you direct in 8.5 hrs to ISB. Another direct option is Shaheen Air from Manchester for around GBP460
