I have been trying for about TWO months now and still can't get a seat for travel to Pak around X-mas. I am going there after a very long time. Why the hell every Joe, Dick and Harry ...wait a minute...every Jawad, Dilawar and Haaris have decided to go when I want to go?. Why O Why!

And the idiot PIA walay would run the same schedule as they run in October when nobody wants to go. Why can't they increase flights for the busy peaks?.

Anyway, I have looked into other means of transport. One is to fly over to Istanbul and then drive thru Turkey, Iran and into Balochistan. Would that be safe?. I only have two, max three weeks. If I rent an Avis car in Istanbul and drive non-stop, it would take me three days to reach Pak. But there is an issue... I can't drive rental car across borders.

Is there any guppie who is willing to give up his/her seat to me?.

Mr Fraudia

fungus, dunn fly PIA then, get to europe and hop on a diff airline from there. just not gulf air, that minibus service..

busy season with PIA has issues with seats that are reconfirmed getitng cancelled for some chaheeta of some saab log.

It's a great idea though.

Go to India man and take the bus to Lahore or whereever you are from. ANd if you decide to use this route, let me know..I have a package I want to get dropped off in Delhi

For the umpteenth time, forget about it...don't go!

LuxuryItem

Have you checked with British Airways? They service UK-Pakistan route.

Matsui

FG, have you looked in to PIA from US-Pak?

amelie

i heard flights to lahore are running 2300 right now...wooo hee!!

I can't give up my seat, well actually if you're willing to wear my walima lengha and stand in for me in Karachi, I might consider it.

root105

if i were you i would get ticket on emirates or gulf.

BTW i got my bro ticket for karachi, pakistan last year for around 1300 $ in peek december time..

Femme Fatale

FG don't be such a penny pincher and fly first class!

Matsui

That is not much of a challenge for our funguy. That is how is arrving in Pak anyway. So try something else.

funguy

Let me make this clear to you all bozos.

There is no seat on Emirates, Gulf, Turkish, Mongolian, Stir-Fry or Chop Suey. No seats whatsoever. Thats what I am being told by TWO different travel agents. They have not seen a situation like this before.

Fly First on PIA?, What for?. To get served Lussi with my Sindhi Biryani?. By the way First is harder to get. It's the second and onwards that's enjoybale.

Matsui

Why don;t you ante up and travel first class...there are always seats.

funguy

Matsui, First class is also sold out thanks to newly riches like yourself.

Fly Bambino. I hear they take packages upto 1 sq mt, and only 2 days from NY to Karachi.

funguy

Does Bambino call it's air-hostesses Bimbos?

Matsui

No they are all male; Bamboos

funguy

Matsui, they told you it was Bamboo. It's really not.

Mehnaz

Fly to London and get a connecting flight. You can fly with Athens airlines and stopover in Greece .... or the Turkish airlines you mentioned earlier. Sounds good to me!

karina

Theres no room for bimbos but once in a while they'll poke a hand in...
