Cheap flights to Lahore

Finding cheap flights to Lahore

Lahore is the cultural heart of Punjab, and one of the routes our customers book most for family visits, weddings and Eid. Fares climb fast around school holidays and Ramadan, so it pays to call early.

Flights from UK airports to Lahore

We book flights to Lahore 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 Lahore

Flights land at Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE), on the eastern side of Lahore. The drive to Gulberg, DHA or the Walled City usually takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic. If family are collecting you, the arrivals hall gets very busy on Gulf flights that land close together, so agree a meeting point in advance.

Direct and one-stop flights

Most of our Lahore bookings are one-stop fares through Doha with Qatar Airways, Dubai with Emirates, Abu Dhabi with Etihad or Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. Connections can be as short as two hours, or long enough to break the journey. If direct flights are running on your dates we will price them too, so you can compare the time saved against the fare.

Baggage allowance

Gulf airlines are often more generous on Pakistan routes than on European ones, and some fares include two checked bags. The allowance depends on the fare, not just the airline, so tell us how much you are taking for weddings or long family visits and we will compare like for like before you pay.

Best time to fly to Lahore

December, Eid and the UK summer holidays are the most expensive times to fly to Lahore, and fares rise quickly once seats start to sell. February, March and October to mid November are usually cheaper, with pleasant weather. May and June are very hot, often above 40°C.

Visas and entry

British passport holders need a visa for Pakistan, which you can apply for online through Pakistan's official visa portal. If you hold a valid NICOP or Pakistan Origin Card, you can use that instead. Entry rules can change, so check the GOV.UK foreign travel advice before you book and again before you fly.

Tips for booking

Book two to three months ahead for December and summer travel. One-stop routings through Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi often beat direct prices by a wide margin, and we can check generous baggage allowances for you.
