Plan with Arrive ByWhen to book this route
Outside Eid and the summer school holidays, this window tends to be less pressured. Fares on peak-period routes often move in the final weeks before Eid — if your dates are fixed, aim to book at least 3 months ahead. Planning guidance, not a fare prediction.
Demand — and often price — tends to build in the final 3–4 weeks before these periods. Consider booking earlier if your dates are fixed. Planning guidance, not a fare prediction.

Traveller tips for this route
Pre-purchase excess baggage online, not at the airport
Gifts and shopping for the return leg routinely exceed standard allowances on this route, so pre-purchasing extra baggage online at the time of booking is consistently cheaper than paying at the airport.
NICOP holders typically skip the separate visa
NICOP holders (Pakistan-origin UK nationals with a National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) typically do not need a separate visa. Confirm current requirements with NADRA or your nearest Pakistani consulate before booking, as policy specifics change.
