Voice of Travelers to Pakistan
Comfortable Seating, Good Crew
I took a flight from London to Islamabad. I was welcomed by smart looking staff from Pakistan. The plane was clean and the seats comfortable with pillows on each seat along with blankets. In-flight entertainment was ready before the flight even took off. When the lunch arrived, they had a menu with options. Once we finished with the food the staff offered drinks and tidied everything. After a few hours we were offered a tasty and fresh snack along with a lemon tart and tea. This certainly changed my perception of Pakistan.
What a Pleasant Surprise
First time with Pakistan Air flying from Dubai to Faisalabad. What a pleasant surprise. Excellent cabin crew, a complete meal served on a 1hr40 min flight, and on time. Henceforth I'll make Pakistan Air my carrier of choice whenever I travel to Pakistan. Generally a very good airline for the budget. Air ticket was a very low price. Keep up the good work.
Simply the best!
Pakistan Air is so far one of the best airlines that I have traveled with. Flight attendants are very polite and attentive, the food is great, the bathrooms in the economy class are always clean and have free toiletries. Pakistan customer service over the phone is great. Air ticket check-in was fast and easy. I only have compliments! We would use it again with no hesitation in Pakistan. Thanks.
