Flights from UK airports to Karachi
We book flights to Karachi from London Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, London Gatwick and Glasgow. Flying from your nearest airport can save the trip to London, and we compare it with London fares so you can see the difference.
Arriving in Karachi
Jinnah International Airport (KHI) is Pakistan's busiest airport, about 30 to 45 minutes by road from Clifton, DHA and Saddar. Many flights from the Gulf arrive in the early hours of the morning, so plan your pick-up before you travel.
Direct and one-stop flights
Karachi has frequent one-stop connections through Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi and Istanbul, often several a day. That choice means we can usually find a short connection, or a cheaper fare with a longer stop if you do not mind the wait.
Baggage allowance
Allowances on Karachi routes are often generous, but they depend on the fare. Tell us if you are carrying gifts or extra luggage and we will compare the allowance and the price of extra bags before you book.
Best time to fly to Karachi
November to February is the most comfortable time to visit Karachi, and December is the busiest month for fares. Midweek departures are usually cheaper than weekends. From June to September it is hot and humid, with monsoon rain in July and August.
Visas and entry
British passport holders need a visa for Pakistan, applied for online through Pakistan's official visa portal, unless you travel on a valid NICOP or Pakistan Origin Card. Entry rules can change, so check the GOV.UK foreign travel advice before you book and again before you fly.
