Question 1

Are there any airlines offering direct flights from Manchester to Islamabad?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only one: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is currently the only carrier to offer a non-stop service from Manchester to Islamabad. To broaden your flight options, you can search the many airlines that fly the route with just one stopover; these include Qatar Airways, British Airways, Emirates and Etihad, giving you the choice of stopovers in cities from London to Doha and Dubai.

Question 2

Are there any 24h food concessions at Manchester Airport?

Accepted Answer

Flights from Manchester to Islamabad can seem long, so make sure you’re suitably fuelled and hydrated before you board the plane. While there are no round-the-clock food options at Manchester Airport, most are open from the first flight of the day until the last, so you should always be able to get a bite to eat. In addition, Grain Loft in Terminal 1 and the WHSmith convenience store in Terminal 3 are only closed for a couple of hours between 04:00 and 06:00.

Question 3

What is the quickest way to get from Islamabad Airport to the city centre?

Accepted Answer

While there are several buses and minibuses that link Islamabad Airport to the city centre, departures are infrequent and routes potentially confusing for those not already familiar with the city. The quickest and most comfortable way to reach your destination is to take a taxi, which you will find at the stand outside the terminal building. Fares are unmetered, so need to be negotiated with the driver before getting in – expect to pay more for an air-conditioned radio cab than for a non-air-conditioned, local yellow taxi.

Question 4

Can I exchange currency upon arrival at Islamabad Airport?

Accepted Answer

Many travellers on flights from Manchester to Islamabad will need to get some local currency on arrival, and there are numerous options available. Currency exchange counters are located in both Domestic and International Arrivals, offering a 24h service. You will also find a National Bank of Pakistan counter in International Arrivals, operating from 09:00 to 17:00, as well as several ATMs around the terminal building.

Question 5

What hotels are there at Islamabad Airport?

Accepted Answer

There aren’t any hotels located at the airport in Pakistan’s capital, but there are multiple hotels near it. They include budget B&Bs and hotels, as well as international brand hotels, so there is something to choose from for every type of traveller.

Question 6

What should I consider when looking at flights that include a stop on this route?

Accepted Answer

Flying with Turkish Airlines means a one-stop flight that changes planes at Istanbul International Airport (IST).
