KHI and ISB are confirmed with LHE as a future option for either CX or KA depending on the loads they get in the first 2 routes.

From fr24 it looks like PIA is operating 6 weekly up from usual 3 weekly on this sector. Perhaps because of holiday season?

Where are you getting this info from? CX is yet to announce. Again, LHE opens up Punjab over ISB. Unless they do a Tag-Route, like CA does re: HKG-KHI-ISB-HKG. If they do this, then they could operate HKG-KHI-LHE-HKG (as SQ (to SIN) used to operate until their withdrawal in 2010).Pakistan-1 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 6:52 amKHI and ISB are confirmed with LHE as a future option for either CX or KA depending on the loads they get in the first 2 routes.

catering will cook & make food at Serena hotel ISB for BA flights because deaf without speech work chef in Serena Hotel ISB confirmed me but last time BA crew stayed Marriott hotel changed to Serena hotel before 2008. I have been visited Serena hotel for conference and restaurant very good but most expensive but they are extra security strong than Marriott & PC hotel because of western & foreign & VIP

The luggage allowance on BA.com is not great (1 bag 23kg) unless the main booking agents will offer more.

But 23kg hand baggage also allowed subject to dimensions as per BA website so total 23kg Checked 23kg hand baggage and also a smaller bag/back pack.

Re: British Airways is launching flights to Islamabad eff June 2019
I don’t fancy pulling / carrying 23 kg hand luggage around the airports! It makes it more difficult to stow or away overhead.
Anyway I prefer travelling lighter. Perhaps PIA ends up making less profit by paying more fur fuel by allowing 45 kg. I personally cannot imagine taking so much luggage unless I am moving homes.

Re: British Airways is launching flights to Islamabad eff June 2019
I think BA is the only airline to offer 23KG hand-baggage. Perhaps this is interpreted differently. Their website says 7kg cabin which travels with you inside the cabin, but anything additonal may not. Mind you 23kg is one VERY heavy cabin bag. I usually have around 12-14kg and some airlines allow it, whilst others are very strict on 7kg.

A three-member British Airways team is going to visit Islamabad International Airport on January 29/30. The airline is planning to start flights between London and Islamabad from June this year.
In this regard, British High Commissioner to Pakistan has written a letter to Secretary Aviation.
