FAQs for booking flights from Manchester to Islamabad

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

    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.

  • Are there any 24h food concessions at Manchester Airport?

    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.

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

    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.

  • Can I exchange currency upon arrival at Islamabad Airport?

    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.

  • What hotels are there at Islamabad Airport?

    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.

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

    Depending on which airline you choose to fly with, you'll find cheap flights from Manchester to Islamabad that include stops. Flying with Turkish Airlines means a one-stop flight that changes planes at Istanbul International Airport (IST). Saudia flights that include one stop change planes at Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED). Both these layovers are usually long. Book time in an airport lounge to wait in comfort. Both layover airports have public lounge options.

  • Which aircraft models fly most regularly from Manchester to Islamabad?

    The Boeing 777-200/200ER is the aircraft model that flies most regularly on the Manchester to Islamabad flight route.

  • Which is the best airline for flights from Manchester to Islamabad, Emirates or Turkish Airlines?

We loved flying with Emirates in business class, the staff were fabulous, going above & beyond

The seating is spaced out nicely, The crew could have offer more drinks.

The best ever, friendly and attentive cabin crew, amazing captains who utilised their expertise for less turbulence, just overall amazing

We arrived in line for check in at 6:15 p.m. but did not check in until 8:00 p.m. The line for economy check in was very long, and all of the desks 03-13 were not open, although most of them opened sporadically. The crew on board were very nice and helpful, friendly and kind. It has been many years since we flew Emirates (at least 17 years), and we notice that foot rests are no longer available in economy, but we were lucky enough to fly in the upper deck and appreciate your opening some of your flights to economy passengers in the upper deck. We will definitely fly on emirates more often! Thank you.

Overall I was quite pleased with the experience; the cleanliness; the polite and attentiveness of the cabin crew; and the delicious food options.

Ove the A380 planes. Comfortable seats. Served great Indian food and Masala Chai!

It was great, a little more leg room would have been better particularly since we were in premium economy

The boarding process was smooth and the stewardesses were nice. Some delays with drinks at the end of the flight, but no issues.

Excellent comfort and entertainment. Service poor..Food average with little choice.

Comfort good. Service as usual poor. Cabin temperature as usual too cold, about 15 degrees

With a 4 hour delay its was a very basic flight which was just bearable. We were offered food vouchers for the delay and then they didnt work, so that was annoying. Also poor communication about the delay which got pushed out 3 times.

Overall great airline that still provides two suitcases, has a huge hub and crew goes above and beyond to assist you. Boarding took a lot of time as there were only 2 people checking in. Also, in Istanbul, taxing took almost 30 min.

Amazing trip! No delays, no broken or lost luggage, and amazing food.

Very good overall.... apart from the cost of extra check ed in luggage where they charge £17 per kg, and no option to just buy an extra bag allowance (at least on the route I took)

I use a wheelchair for mobility. Both in my flight from Houston and back to Houston from Istanbul, the Turkish airline staff asked that I claim my wheelchair at the luggage area. On arrival to Istanbul, parts of the wheelchair were in disarray at that time I raised no objection however upon claiming my wheelchair in Houston parts where outright missing. In both occasions, upon arriving in Houston and arriving in Istanbul, I asked multiple times why am made to pick up my wheelchair in the baggage claim rather than at the jet bridge. Getting the wheelchair at the jet bridge minimizes the probability of loosing parts because they can be hopefully reclaimed on the spot. I was told in Houston that a manager turned down my request to claim the wheelchair at the jet bridge in Houston. This is extremely frustrating because a wheelchair is not a set of clean underwear or a toothbrush- this is the way I move. A Turkish Arline staff took my complaint at the luggage claim area in Houston but as of the writing of this review the only contact I have received from the airline is because I initiated a claim rather than her as she told me she would.

Very bad overall. The comfort level was undeniably uncomfortable. The in-flight entertainment was no good because my screen froze and “wasn’t able to reset”. The staff were rude and non-helpful. Instead of offering me an upgrade for all inconveniences for the ticket, and seat I paid extra for, I was offered a downgraded seat all the way at the back of the aircraft. The flight was delayed for so long, making the experience at the layover airport that much more unpleasant.

Bad experience; they are not good anymore. They charge too much for luggage seat are so uncomfortable, Flight delays which may miss your next flight, they don’t care if you miss the flight or not. Zero customer services for front desk representatives Istanbul's airport I’m not using this airline any more.

My wife and 7 months old baby had a terrible experience traveling, we paid extra for bassinet they didn’t provided.she missed her flight due to late landing of the flight, they were unsupportive to my family due to that my wife and kid suffered a lot.

Very punctual, the onboard staff was friendly and correct, the flight was fortunately very calm, the toilets were clean, in short, an excellent experience Thanks

Great food, great entertainment and very helpful, caring & attentive staff.
