Southall Travel works with a few major airlines on these routes. For one-stop flights to Islamabad, Emirates via Dubai is a go-to. If you're headed to Lahore, Karachi or Sialkot, they’ll hook you up with competitive fares, Glasgow links through Birmingham, London or directly via partners Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, Etihad.

How long you're in the air depends on your layovers. The quickest itineraries take around 12 hours and 40 minutes to Islamabad. Many flights come in at over 20 or 25 hours when there are two or three stops.

Once you land in Pakistan, most international flights bring you into Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, or Sialkot. Islamabad International is the most modern and easiest to connect northward, including to mountain airstrips. Karachi’s Jinnah Airport, Lahore’s Allama Iqbal, and Islamabad handle many international arrivals.

From there you’ll want to get around. Domestic flights are fast if you're covering distance, PIA, Air Sial, Airblue, Serene and others run routes between the big cities and the north, including Skardu and Gilgit. But be aware: fog in winter or monsoon weather July to September can delay flights.

Overland, trains are a practical option if time isn’t tight. Pakistan Railways connects cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar. Trains range from basic seats to sleeper cabins, so you can choose comfort or economy. In cities, ride-hail apps like Careem or Uber are both cheap and reliable. Lahore also has a metro (Orange Line), useful if you're in the city core.

So, what this really means is your best route depends on your priorities. If you value speed, a flight into Islamabad plus a domestic hop will get you north fast. If you're after comfort or love the journey itself, trains offer a proper slice of life. Taxis and ride-hail carry you around cities easily enough, Lahore even has its metro.

Cheap Flight Tickets to Pakistan from Glasgow

Looking for cheap flights to Pakistan from Glasgow with Southall Travel? It’s worth knowing that the best deals tend to land in the shoulder seasons, think late August into early December. That’s when airlines ease up on prices just as airports like Glasgow, Heathrow, or Gatwick aren’t swamped. For example, return economy fares from Glasgow to Islamabad hover around £741, and similar prices apply to Lahore, Karachi, Sialkot, or Multan for travel between early August and December.

Direct routes can save you headaches, especially London Heathrow to Karachi, where Pakistan International Airlines keeps it simple with nonstop service. If direct isn’t available, a one-stop via Dubai or Abu Dhabi on carriers like Emirates or Etihad offers good value without too much hassle.

Timing makes a real difference. If you shift travel to post-August and before December, you dodge peak summer and winter holiday crowds and tap into fare drops. That window also means quieter airports in Pakistan, which can make everything from check-into baggage claims smoother and faster.

And yes, Southall Travel does business class flights to Pakistan too. If you’re willing to spend more for extra space and flexibility, their search filters let you sort between economy, premium economy, business class flights to Pakistan, and even first class. Whether you’re flying from Edinburgh to Pakistan, Manchester to Pakistan, Gatwick to Pakistan, or London Heathrow to Pakistan, checking all those airport options gives you better pricing leverage?

Here’s the bottom line: if you want cheap flights to Pakistan, aim for travel between August and December, compare departures from Glasgow, Manchester, Edinburgh, Gatwick and Heathrow, look out for direct PIA service from Heathrow for simplicity, or budget-friendly one-stops via Middle East hubs. And if you want something more refined, Southall Travel’s got business class flights to Pakistan ready.
