Cheap flights to Pakistan
Compare every airline flying from the UK to Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi — direct PIA and one-stop Gulf routings.
Over 1.6 million British Pakistanis fly home every year, and we help thousands of them do it for less. Islamabad takes around 41% of all UK–Pakistan searches, Lahore 36% and Karachi the rest — and fares between the three can differ by £100 or more on the same dates, so it pays to compare all three arrival cities before you book.
Direct PIA flights (the only non-stop option) resumed in 2025 from Manchester and Heathrow. One-stop routings with Qatar Airways via Doha, Emirates via Dubai and Turkish Airlines via Istanbul are usually the cheapest, with off-peak returns from around £429. Book 6–10 weeks ahead and avoid the Eid and December peaks for the best prices.
