Cheap flights to Peshawar

Finding cheap flights to Peshawar

Peshawar is one of the oldest cities in South Asia and the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. We book flights for families travelling to Peshawar, Mardan, Nowshera and Swat from across the UK.

Flights from UK airports to Peshawar

We book flights to Peshawar from Manchester, Birmingham, London Heathrow, Leeds Bradford 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 Peshawar

Bacha Khan International Airport (PEW) sits right next to Peshawar Cantonment, so the drive to Saddar, University Town or Hayatabad is usually 15 to 40 minutes. It is also the nearest international airport for Mardan, Charsadda and Nowshera, and a good starting point for the Swat valley.

Direct and one-stop flights

Peshawar is reached with one stop. Emirates and flydubai connect through Dubai, Qatar Airways through Doha and Etihad through Abu Dhabi, with connections from Manchester, Birmingham and London. Flights into Peshawar often land at night or early in the morning, so plan your pick-up. If Peshawar fares are high on your dates, we will compare flying into Islamabad, about two hours away on the M1 motorway.

Baggage allowance

Fares to Peshawar through the Gulf often include a generous allowance, sometimes two checked bags, but it changes with the fare type. Low-cost connections may charge for every bag, so we compare the full price with bags included before you pay.

Best time to fly to Peshawar

October to March is the most comfortable time to visit, with cool, dry weather. June and July are very hot, often above 40°C. Fares are highest in December, around both Eids and in the UK school summer holidays, and lowest in February, March and early November.

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

Compare Peshawar with Islamabad on your dates. Islamabad has more flights, it is about two hours away on the motorway, and it is sometimes much cheaper.
