You’re booked on a flight from Dublin to Karachi through Southall Travel. First, you’ll depart from Dublin Airport, just a few miles north of Dublin city centre. It’s a compact airport, easy to navigate, with clear signs and quick passport checks. Expect some security queues, especially during peak hours, but nothing too stressful. Grab a coffee or snack from one of the cafes upstairs before you head to your gate.
Once airborne, the journey stretches roughly 2 900 miles. Typically, you’ll connect through a major hub, think London, Istanbul or Dubai, depending on Southall Travel’s partner airlines. Travel time is usually 14 to 18 hours in total, including layover time, though that can vary.
When you land in Karachi you’ll arrive at Jinnah International Airport. It’s about 15 miles from central Karachi and it’s the country’s busiest international gateway. Immigration and baggage collection can take a while so allow plenty of time. The terminals are straightforward, nothing luxurious but reasonably efficient.
So what’s the best way into the city from Jinnah International? If convenience is your priority, a registered airport taxi is the way to go. They’re available just outside arrivals. You can also ask Southall Travel if they offer or can recommend pre-booked transfers. It tends to give you peace of mind and a fixed rate. If you’re feeling local, Uber and Careem operate in Karachi and can be cheaper and more transparent on fares, though traffic is unpredictable and roads can get busy, especially in rush hour.
Here’s the thing, this journey isn’t just about getting from A to B. Southall Travel works closely with airlines like Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and sometimes British Airways or Turkish partners, ensuring you have smooth connections, support with baggage, and help if anything changes. They take care of the details so you don’t have to.
By the time you step off the plane in Karachi, you’ll move from that familiar Dublin hum to Karachi’s lively energy. Let Southall Travel handle the questions ahead, ask them to sort your transfers or tell you which lounge you’ll use at your stopover. That way you can arrive ready to focus on what truly matters.
