OK.......the 777 LR can take 300 passengers non stop from Houston to Karachi
in under 15 hrs and Chicago to KHI would be 1.5 hrs less:
My guess is from anywhere in the USA to Pakistan would be less than 16 hrs non stop........

777s are ETOPS Certified to fly 180 minutes from nearest Airport enroute, should an emergency arise which requires a diversion/landing.

The international fares are not available on the official website (as of yet) unfortunately. 
You may need to call either PIA directly or consult with your travel agent.

I heard that PIA flights had their engines fall out of the sky midway, is that true???? They were banned from the EU, because of safety issues, i hope its all better now, but they are quite expensive - cheaper to fly emirates from London. I flew once from Vancouver, Canada to London via Houston (arrgghh) Texas, and then from London Via Dubai to Islamabad. AWful bad bad bad.... I fell asleep in London and missed my flight! Journey took like four days.

^ Yes, it's Manchester, England. And I haven't heard an instance where an engine fell half way.  And reason behind EU banning PIA planes was political, and had nothing to do with safety of the planes.

I want to go from houston to karachi non-stop. About 10 years I guess, if PIA is still in business, that is.
