You land at Glasgow International Airport, just under 10 miles from Glasgow’s city centre. It’s familiar, efficient, and ready to ease you into your journey. Make sure you arrive at least two hours ahead of your international flight, that gives you the breathing room everyone needs. And if things are busy, like in summer or school holidays, you’ll want closer to four hours to spare.
There’s no direct flight to Karachi. You’ll connect somewhere, Dubai is the most common and fastest link, or you might go via Doha. Total travel time including flying legs runs from about 9 hours 45 minutes up to around 20 hours, not counting any layover time. And the distance? Glasgow to Karachi is roughly 4,110 miles. Your full journey can stretch beyond that once you factor in the stopover mileage.
You can expect to fly economy, business, or even first class, depending on who you book with. Emirates, British Airways, and others offer these tiers. Emirates tends to be a crowd favourite, with higher satisfaction scores, albeit at a slightly higher price, while British Airways often wins on cost.
Once you touch down at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport, you’re about 11 miles from the heart of the city. Taxis are the go-to: flights of stairs and terminals to exit first, then you’ll find metered or ride-hail options. A ride of around 5?km costs about PKR?310, so roughly a casual fare into town.
If Southall Travel partners with airlines like Emirates or British Airways, that’ll help smooth your booking and connections. But from airport to city, you’re on your own. A taxi or app-based ride is the smart move. It’s fast, familiar, and available the moment you need it.
Cheap Flights to Karachi from Glasgow
Finding cheap flights to Karachi from Glasgow is all about timing and planning. The lowest fares on flights to Pakistan usually appear when you book at least two to three months in advance, especially outside the busy travel periods around Eid and the December holidays. If you’re flexible with your dates, flying midweek often helps you avoid the higher weekend prices, and early morning or late-night departures tend to be less in demand.
For those looking to save even more, indirect routes can sometimes offer better deals than direct flights, though the travel time will be longer. If your priority is convenience, Southall Travel also offers great value on direct options from London Heathrow to Karachi, Gatwick to Karachi, and even Edinburgh to Karachi or Newcastle to Karachi. You can also explore connections if you’re traveling from Dublin to Karachi, which can sometimes be cheaper than UK departures during peak months.
Karachi Airport is quieter during off-peak travel seasons, like late spring or early autumn, making it easier to navigate and often less expensive to fly.

Whether you want a quick return trip or a longer stay, booking ahead and staying flexible with your dates is the best way to secure the lowest fares from Glasgow and other UK cities.
