<Do iranians know they can get to Iran faster by taking a direct route to Karachi with PIA and then to Iran from North America>

Tehran Passengers , offer lucrative potential for PIA


I have been hearing recently from close sources that many Iranian passengers have to travel 24 hours plus to get to Iran from North America

I think such passengers , or routes offer great potential for PIA to activate their Direct plane sevices to carry large number of passengers to Iran

North American City - Karachi - Tehran (Sample Route) 13-14 hours direct flight


I think if PIA can show it can bring Iranian passengers safely to Iran in under 14 hours it would be a great route for PIA. For usage of Long Route planes like Boeing 777


I was talking to this guy today from Iran he was telling me he took a flight for 7-9 hours (In Europe), had to wait full 5 hours at airport for next connecting flight and then another 8 hours of trip and then his luggage arrived 5 hours later , all in all a 1.5 days worth of "KUWARI" at airport and waiting


The whole experience sounded very very long ordeal and tiring and just
thought wow such passengers could have just came to Karachi , direct flight and then traveled between Karachi - Tehran a much simple easier experience

With a little bit of Marketing in Iran I am sure PIA can develop a following

PIA's Tokyo route was a bust but why not help carry the passengers of Iranaian origin to Iran seems like a wonderful prospect


**After I learned of this story I search for PIA ticket on most common Ticket booking websites and realized PIA does not sells their ticket on such platforms and this they miss out on many such travellers, PIA airline does not shows up on these websites . And then I realized why such passengers do not know it is much easier to come to Pakistan first and then take a flight from Pakistan to Iran faster connect route


I am pretty sure we can attract customers on PIA for Iran

Damn it I really need to be hired as a executive for PIA



If you wish to rest in Karachi , well you can stay at the Luxury Hotel before you on board your next connect flight

Bro most Pakistanis in North America themselves don't take crappy PIA flight. I'd prefer to take 18-22 hour middle eastern flight and be treated well rather than taking a 14 hour PIA flight and be treated like garbage. Also the advertised 14 years ends up being about 16-18 hours more often than not.


First PIA should improve its service for its main clientele, Pakistanis, rather than branching out to others.

People don't notice but a 13 hour flight vs a 24+8 hour flight is a drastically different experience

13 Hour flight
  • You get in plane
  • Read magazine (1 hour)
  • Check out the Air hostess if she is good looking
  • Watch Movie (2 hours)
  • Eat Meal (30 minutes to 1 hour)
  • Sleep (4 hours)
  • You wake up get warm towel (1 hour)
  • Eat break fast
  • Hey you are at Karachi
  • Because you are in direct flight 100% your bags are in same plane
  • Plus outside you get to see amazing view of Mountain ranges and land formations stunning views so you are glued to the window for 1 hour


24+8 Hour flight
  • You have to get off plane after 5-6 hour
  • AC is reduced you sweat
  • Then plane runs again , gets super cold
  • Passenger in-boarding noise
  • Then you get a meal
  • May be you watch Movie and it is only 7 hours in flight
  • You still have to be on Travel route 24 hours more
  • Then you get headaches
  • Then you land , and have to wait at random airport for 5 hours
  • You eat but you don't feel hungry
  • The jump on new plane with luggage
  • Nasty 8 hours more
  • You wake up and feel like the trip just started only
  • Then the devil babies start to cry for blood or milk
  • You check the clock , wonder should I watch another movie or sleep
  • Then you look outside your watch and the outside do not match you get disoriented
  • Then you start to think may be you should open the airplane door for little air
  • But then you remember ok that is not a good idea just 8 more hours to go
  • Finally you land at your final destination , and you say to yourself I am gona be first to get out an grab my bags and be at home , sleep in my bed and relax
  • Then you discover your bags have been stock in airport #2 and will arrive in next flight


I personally never had any negative experience at PIA their service was similar to Any North American service but actually better as you get full course meal and warm towel and lot of other perks as well

I wish there were direct flights between Tehran and India. Iran is a beautiful country to explore.

air travel is driven by air fares in general. for me safety is high priority

Speaking from experience, I'd take a road trip in a Mehran with 8 people in it than fly pia, don't want hepatitis c and stomach sickness

Thats because PIA has a monopoly on families with small children who wish to get to Pakistan without any stopovers. Flights from Europe with PIA are generally packed with overseas Pakistani families with young children because this group wants to reach their destination as soon as possible. PIA knows this target group has no other option hence it doesnt need to invest in improving its overall standards.
