  • How do I transfer from the international to the domestic terminal at Karachi Airport?

    Transferring from an international flight to a domestic flight at Jinnah International Airport is fairly straightforward, as both terminals are housed in a single airport building. All you’ll need to do is head from East Concourse (which handles international flights) to West Concourse (which handles domestic flights). However, you will need to ensure you have time to clear customs and security and, if applicable, collect your luggage.

  • Are there disability support services at Karachi Airport?

    Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport provides services and facilities to assist passengers with special needs, including the provision of wheelchairs, designated washrooms, lifts, ramps, a dedicated immigration counter and more. If you will need support while in the airport, all you need to do is inform your airline of your needs at least 48h before you’re due to fly to Karachi.

  • Where do I go if someone is picking me up from Jinnah International Airport?

    Jinnah International Airport offers a convenient pick-up lane on Level 1, just across from the terminal building. If your friend would like to meet you in the arrivals hall, they can park for up to 3h in one of the 2,000 parking bays located in the parking facility adjacent to the terminal building. Prices start at around Rs 90 (approximately A$ 0.75) for every 3h for a standard vehicle.

  • Do I need a visa to visit Karachi?

    For Australian passport holders travelling to Karachi as a tourist, you can apply for an E-Visa online at the Pakistan government website. E-Visas are valid for up to 90 days. You will need to provide them with the correct application form, a passport photo, copy of your passport, your full travel itinerary, and an invitation letter from the people you are staying with or from a designated tour group operator.

  • Is there anything to eat at the Karachi Airport?

    If you’re looking for something to eat after your long flight to Karachi, you have a few options available at the Karachi Airport. For a quick snack, there is a Dunkin’ Donuts in the arrivals area, near the Habib Bank. In the same area is Rehmat-e-Shereen for a more local flavour. Alternatively, if you pass through the terminal and cross into the outdoor airport parking, you will spot a McDonald’s in the centre.

  • How far away is the airport from the Mohatta Palace?

    The Mohatta Palace is located south of downtown Karachi, as you head towards the beach in the Old Clifton area. This is about a 40min drive from the Karachi Airport. In this area you will also be close to the Bagh Ibn-e-Qasim Park, popular with both tourists and locals, as well as the Clifton Beach with its developed Marine Promenade.

  • How do I get to the city from Karachi Airport using public transport?

    Karachi has a good public transport system that covers most of the city. Those travelling further afield can find tickets for the Pakistan Railways at the Booking Office in the arrivals area. If you’re heading downtown there are many bus connections that leave from the bus stop behind the long-term car parks, and tickets can be purchased from the driver. The CAA information desk can help tell you how to get to where you want to go.

  • Where can I pick up some of the local currency?

    After your flight to Karachi, you can buy some of the local currency, the Pakistani Rupee, from one of the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) or Money Master Foreign Currency Exchange locations in the Karachi Airport.

Your guide to booking Karachi flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Karachi, aim to book around 13 weeks before you fly. That window historically saves about 9% versus last-minute pricing based on KAYAK booking data over the last 12 months.
  • For flights to Karachi, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to be around $1,399 return. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a good deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, aim to travel to Karachi in October. Return fares historically average $1,394 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond an ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to afternoon to save up to $211 per return. Afternoon flights to Karachi average $1,515 compared to $1,726 for morning flights. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • You will find a number of prayer rooms throughout Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport (KHI). For international arrivals, a convenient prayer room is located at Baggage Claim (Level 1).
  • Jinnah International Airport has a mosque conveniently located near the long-term parking area, roughly 600 m (about a 7-10min walk) from the terminal entrance.
  • If you're waiting for a subsequent flight, Jinnah International Airport offers complimentary showers for passengers. Showers can be found in both the international and domestic departure satellites.
  • If you wish to hire a car in Karachi, you’ll find the reservation counters for car hire companies like Europcar in the arrival concourse, just after you clear customs and security.
  • Karachi has one major airport, the Jinnah International Airport (KHI). It is about 20 km from downtown Karachi, in nearby Shah Faisal Town. By car or taxi it will take you around 1h to reach Karachi.
  • While you cannot book direct flights from Australia to Karachi, some airlines such as Etihad Airways, Virgin Australia, and Emirates can take you the entire journey.
  • There is one hotel on the airport campus. The 4-star Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Karachi Airport Hotel is approximately 5min from the terminal and offers a free shuttle to its guests.
  • Those taking a taxi from the airport can find them outside the Arrivals Area in Lane 3. The airport recommends checking with the CAA counter in the airport for a price estimate before you leave and agreeing to a fixed cost with your driver.
  • You will have at least one stopover during your flight. Where you stopover will depend on your airline, and you have plenty of options to choose from. For example, Etihad Airways stops in Abu Dhabi, Emirates in Dubai, and Thai Airways in Bangkok.
  • If you would like additional assistance with your luggage, there are porters available at the Karachi Airport. Recognisable by their Passenger Facilitation Services (PFS) uniforms, you can find porters near Belt 6.

in today's time, an airline like emirates didnt serve drinks as requested, Excuse was full flight.

It was delayed for 2 hrs. Flight attendants were not attentive.

We boarded but due to a technical issue we spent 4.5hrs on the ground waiting for the issue to be resolved

No kids provided. Instead we were told to have contacted the airline that we have kids and require kids meals. We were not the only ones who inquired about kids meals. It’s odd. Emirates and other airlines give kids meals as standard and before the adult food comes out. The rice in our meals was gluggy and under cooked. The chicken was also raw. Sadly not the best experience with Finn Air. The hostesses tried to compensate with the snacks and drinks but missed the mark by a long way. Especially when paying Emirates/Qantas prices

They cancelled our flight, rebooked, cancelled that one. We are now flying New Zealand Air and need a refund please. How do we get it?

Wifi was not operational for the whole trip. Other than this, flight was well received .

Food no so good. Extra charge to much for front seats cost me £163 then other people sat near me for nothing 🤬

Comfort and customer service from most if the crew was great. The crew reassigning passengers should consider the presence of infants when reassigning seats. Unfortunately a couple of oversized passengers were relocated next to us, making this segment a bit uncomfortable, as there was not only extra leg space required. I ended up swapping seats with my husband so our baby wouldn't be impacted. My husband travelled quite uncomfortable as the reassigned neighbour shoulder and arm ended up on my husband's seat

Seats are not as easy to move as you would hope in premium econo Y

The plane was very old and uncomfortable. Service was very slow!

There was no screens on the flight, and no wifi with which we could connect to the internet and stream any content. This was a smaller plan so the business class seats were a bit tight. No hot towels or welcome drinks like when you fly on the bigger TG on the same route. The food was excellent, much better than the previous Thai airways business class meals. It was also nice that they offered eye masks for easy sleeping.

We still get drinks and a snack. Love the gift bags too.

Entertainment is limited with a relatively old catalogue. Wi-Fi never works and the cabin and lavatory had evidence of a lot of scuff marks and temporary repairs. Nothing unsafe, but a bit tatty in places.

Always liked Thai Airways but in the past they have been very expensive, not being a millionaire just yet, I will use cheaper airlines. Bangkok to London £370 11 hours 45 mins. Old plane but ok. Lovely ladies on board, very polite. Food was ok. Will always use them if the price is right.

Could have been better. I prefer Thai airlines only but it hasnt been reliable.

Overall things were very good and orderly. The food was very good but I want able to get a second drink very easily, so that could have been better for services. The seats seemed to be lacking legroom but I'm also 6'1" so I'm used to wanting more legroom but the plane seemed smaller then others when it came to legroom. My kids all enjoyed the entertainment as did I so that was perfect!

The transfer from Domestic and International was a bit confusing but I am easily confused. I did not eat any food, but the food on the other leg was decent. It was nice they turned the lights off on the night flight. The plane was in good shape, but was a little cramped in economy and I am small. They gave me a customs form to fill out and nobody looked at it as I went through customs. Not a bad flight.

Check in was a disaster. 90 minutes and only 2 economy check in desks open. Had to rush to catch the flight.

I couldnt go on this flight and lost all my money over 1,000 UK Pounds as my visa to Myanmar was not accepted :(

food poor i said chiken i got pack a pow breakfast lousey .job to explain wot it was ...

Overall the crew were friendlier than similar premium airlines like Cathay or Singapore. Seat was good. Food was excellent.. the starlink wifi was a real plus. The entertainment was just ok.

Very poor No information given to why we turned around.. No one at airport to help

Friendly and discreet staff. Could have done with a few more offers of water/snacks overnight. Movie and tv selection notably poor. Seats not especially comfortable

The check-in and crew staff were wonderful. The food was reasonable. The online side Qatar was very poor. Seats were very tight and not very comfortable for a 14 hour flight!

The American/Hollywood movies in the entertainment system lack english subtitles, they tend to have only arabic subtitles. Coupled with the low quality airplane earphones and cabin noise, it sometimes is difficult to follow the movie dialogues.

It was a long flight but overall a good one. The one thing that I would comment on is that there is a real problem with disposable plastic products when it comes to the meal service. It would be great for Qatar Airways to find ways to make its meal service more circular and reduce the immense amount of waste.

I found it weird that the quality of the flight different from Australia to Doha than the Doha to Berlin leg. The quality of the toiletries pack (was in a box from Australia) and then a proper bag from Doha. The biggest variation was the inflight entertainment, which had a significantly shorter amount of content compared to the Doha flight. My QSuite seat was also broken and did not recline all the way flat. Wasn’t the best and I wouldn’t be happy if I’d paid cash for the flight.

Online check-in doesn't work. That's why I couldn't give it full Star.

The plane from Dublin to Doha was quite comfortable. I was in economy and the seats and rows were very tight. The man in front of me reclined his seat and it made my screen incredibly close to my face and I wasn’t able to take my tray down and my knees were pressed against the seat. I had to ask three times for him to pull his seat up but in his defence he hadn’t even reclined it far, the rows were just too close. I had a pain in my side by the end of the flight from the chairs which were quite worn and not very padded or supportive. It was a significantly inferior plane to the plane from Doha to Sydney and vice versa.

This was a really enjoyable flight. Even though I was in economy, I had a great deal of leg space, I had a nice meal, and the flight staff was helpful and friendly. A really great flight.

Over all good experience. Cabin crew should have been more attentive and the food quality should improve.

Dirty and smelly lavatory and toilets in Wamos Air operated flights

Surprised at the lower quality of seats on the Boeing 777 in Business Class. Seats are tight and the whole Business class section is jam packed with seats. It doesn’t feel like Business Class at all. Also the way the tray tables are placed with a huge bulky solid metal hinge at knee level makes it so uncomfortable and always anxious that one will accidentally bang their knee on it. Quality of amenities has also declined. Over priced tickets with diminished quality of the entire experience.

The food could be better. Toilets were smelly all along

Boarding was efficient, had to check in cabin luggage. Seats were narrow, food was more in quantity, received cabin luggage on the luggage belt which was fine.

1st time with. Etihad Airways and it was amazing from check in to crew. Great flight.

It has been a couple of years since I flew with Etihad last, after having a unpleasant experience with them coming out of the pandemic. I can say that the experience has uplifted, but I can’t really rate the service. At Barcelona airport the service was great, with their dedicated Etihad staff very helpful. The onboard experience wasn’t great, not very personalised and it really makes sense why Etihad doesn’t feature in the top 10 2023 Skytrax awards. The crew just seemed to be inattentive and almost absent from the cabin. I felt that I had to keep getting their attention. Even after I’d finished my meal, an hour went by before I had to call them to clear the tray/plate etc.

Very unfriendly team. It was very difficult to get a cup of coffee. Legroom was extremely small. Old, dilapidated plane.

Etihad can improve the transfer in Abudabi gates instead of making people to climb the stairs.

It feels like the seat did not have any cushion just plywood. The seats are so compact that I could not even move at all and I am slim. Just imagine someone else. Singapore Air and Emirates are far far better than this. Do not even travel for free. For a 12 hour flight sitting on a plywood is horrible experience and on top of that the person at checking counter at NY was worst and rude. Plus they charge arms and leg for everything. I think they would also start charging for belts and oxygen also soon. First and last time flying with Ethiad.

Sri Lankan airline had less entertainment choices and Sri Lankan national carrier did not have language choices

Poor, They have damaged my luggage and I have filed a claim at Colombo airport. They promised I will be in touch by the team within next 2 days but there is no One contacted me at all after 1 week. I then follow up again and received an email acknowledging my claim and claimed that they will reply in 12 days on investigation. Again, no response at all after that… Very disappointing…

Nice crew.flight delay fromBKK for some ground prep issue I guess, crew serve well to guest, and respect to guest as well. As usual AC is old,and nt much comert in compare to other rehional airliners.other than that.all good

Spesific ,Crew and cabin manager, look after all pax on board despite being in a old A320 equipment.Got free seat upgrade as well,but old style seats, no much comfert on it.But food and the spesific crew, was amazing.maintain airlanka standerd.the cabin manager, who was so much keen,keen operate as per SOP.

This leg of the trip was smoother than compared to the initial trip. Sri Lankan Airlines still have much work to do to improve the overall travel experience.

Very good crew, very efficient. Unfortunately not all items listed in duty free catalog were available.

Many changes need to be addressed from airport check in to flight departure. If they observe other major airlines, then they can expect what Sri Lankan airlines need to update their procedures.

not looking like a national flag carrier.. both the ground team and flight team are far from being kind and helpful. Not sure what's wrong.

Kayak company fake total I m not travel my payment reverse plzzz my credit card

Aircraft used fir this route was pretty old. Seats 💺 were hard & difficult to reclaim although it was flat bed
