Flights from Birmingham Airport (BHX) to Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi usually involve one stop, often through Dubai, Doha or Istanbul. Lower-priced return fares may be available from around £430 to £480 during quieter travel periods, typically on fares that do not include checked baggage. Return fares on full-service airlines with baggage included can cost more, so compare the total price for your journey before booking.

These journey times are indicative rather than guaranteed. A longer stopover, a change of airport or a separate-ticket connection can add several hours. Check the complete itinerary, including the time between flights, before booking.
Travelling to Sialkot, Multan or Peshawar? Connecting itineraries may also be available, depending on the airline and travel dates. Ask TravelApp to check routes to your intended destination.
There are no regular non-stop flights from Birmingham to Islamabad, Lahore or Karachi. Travellers generally need to connect through another airport.
Airlines to compare include Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and, for selected combinations, Pegasus Airlines. The most suitable option depends on the available schedule, total journey time, baggage allowance and price for your dates.
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has operated non-stop flights to Islamabad from Manchester and London Heathrow. If you are considering flying from either airport instead of Birmingham, check the current schedule and compare the extra cost and travel time of reaching that airport.
You can also compare TravelApp’s route pages for flights from Birmingham to Islamabad, flights from Birmingham to Lahore and flights to Pakistan.
Best for: Travellers comparing full-service airlines, including families who need to check baggage allowances and connection times.
Emirates: Operates flights from Birmingham to Dubai, with onward connections to destinations in Pakistan. Check the complete itinerary and layover for your dates.
Qatar Airways: Connects Birmingham with Doha, from where onward flights to Pakistani destinations may be available.
Baggage and meals: These depend on the specific economy fare. Check the permitted number of checked bags, weight limits and any restrictions before booking.
Gulf Air, Saudia and Etihad should not automatically be assumed to offer suitable departures from Birmingham. If you are considering one of these airlines, check the available departure airport, connection arrangements and complete journey.
Turkish Airlines is another option to compare for journeys from Birmingham to Pakistan. Depending on the schedule, your itinerary may connect through Istanbul before continuing to Islamabad, Lahore or Karachi.
Check the total journey time, connection length and baggage allowance for the selected fare. A route with a slightly higher ticket price may be more suitable if it offers a more convenient connection or a baggage allowance that meets your needs.
Pegasus Airlines may be worth considering if you are flexible with your travel arrangements and want to compare lower headline fares. It operates services from Birmingham to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport, and onward combinations may be available for some journeys to Pakistan.
However, do not compare ticket prices alone. Checked baggage, seat selection and other extras can increase the cost. If the onward flight is booked separately, you may also need to collect your bags and check in again.
Some low-priced itineraries combine flights booked under separate tickets. This can affect what happens if your first flight is delayed and you miss the onward service.
Before paying, check:
Whether all flight segments are on one ticket or booked separately.
Whether your checked baggage is transferred to the final destination.
Whether you must pass through immigration or collect your bags during the connection.
How much time you have between flights.
What happens if a delay causes you to miss your onward flight.
A cheaper itinerary may involve more responsibility and risk if the flights are booked separately. Make sure you understand the arrangements before confirming your booking.
February, March, November and some dates in January may offer lower fares than the busiest summer and festive travel periods. However, prices vary by destination, airline, demand and availability, so no month is guaranteed to be the cheapest.

Prices and availability can change, and the cost of your trip may be higher once bags and other extras are included.
Summer holidays: July and August can be expensive because many families travel during UK school holidays. If your dates are flexible, compare departures before or after the busiest weeks.
Christmas and New Year: Fares may rise around the festive period. Early December can have different prices from the weeks immediately before Christmas, so compare several dates.
Eid: Demand can increase around Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as families plan visits to Pakistan. If you need to travel during these periods, compare options early and check the final price before committing.
Group travel: If several relatives need to travel together, start comparing when your dates are clear. Availability can vary between flights, and the lowest fare may not be available for every passenger in your group.
If your travel dates are flexible, compare several departure and return dates rather than searching for only one combination. February, March and November may offer useful alternatives, but always check the price for your specific destination.
It can also help to:
Compare Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi if you have a practical onward travel option from more than one airport.
Check departures a few days earlier or later.
Compare the full return journey rather than the outbound flight alone.
Include baggage, seats and other extras in the total.
Review the connection time and ticket conditions before choosing the cheapest option.
There is no booking window that guarantees the lowest fare. Once you know your travel dates, compare the available options and recheck the complete price before paying.
Baggage allowance depends on the airline, route and fare you select. Emirates, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines may include checked baggage with some economy fares, while lower-priced fares on budget airlines may include only a cabin bag.
Do not assume every ticket includes two 23kg bags per passenger. Check the allowance displayed for your exact itinerary, particularly if you are travelling with children or carrying gifts and other items for family in Pakistan.
Before booking, confirm:
Number of checked bags: Whether each passenger can check one bag, two bags or none.
Weight allowance: The maximum weight permitted for each bag or the total baggage allowance.
Cabin baggage: The permitted dimensions, weight and number of hand-luggage items.
Additional baggage: The cost of adding extra bags before departure and any applicable airport charges.
Children and infants: Whether their tickets include the same baggage allowance as adult fares.
Connecting flights: Whether the baggage rules differ between flight segments, particularly if the itinerary includes separate tickets.
Adding baggage at the airport can cost more than purchasing it in advance. For a family, a fare that includes the required checked bags may work out cheaper overall than several low-cost tickets with baggage added separately.
The headline fare is only one part of your travel budget. When comparing return flights, calculate the total for everyone travelling, including baggage and any optional extras you need.
For example, a family travelling with four large suitcases should compare the cost of those bags across the complete return journey. Check whether each flight includes the same allowance and whether you will need to pay extra for any part of the itinerary.
TravelApp can help you compare available options based on your passenger numbers, preferred dates and baggage requirements. When requesting a quote, ask for a written breakdown showing the total fare, baggage allowance and any additional charges before confirming your booking.
