Most of us have travelled in and out of Pakistan through different airlines at different airports. This topic requires you to share your experience (good or bad) here. Did the immigration guy bother you? Missed your flight? Got caught between beggars at a Pakistani airport asking for dollars instead of rs? Saw something funny - like a family of 50 people waiving ciao to their loved one at the airport? Share em all here.

when i think abt aeroplanes...i think more abt pilots than going to another destination...i like watching and talking to pilots...abt their travels...although never did..

yah..when i reached karachi...i had to stay there for atleast 10 hrs...and we refused to go out...when we saw the mismanagement almost 8 yrs ago...beggars bhi aise waise...top class beggars thay... we were given instructions not to go anywhere...still i went to canteen, roamed here and there...one baba asked me to give money for the repair of masjid...i gave him some amt..and he handed me with surah yaseen...which is with me in my holy book quran...and yah..i remember i had a conversation with air hostess..she waz waiting for her mom...then i had a convo with a maid wiping floor...i had a great time inside karachi airport...and then that pia flight...the air hostess in that...she waz so lovely speaking...that i wanted her to serve me everytime...

..and she did..

odd moments actually...the one jab ears mein aik ajeeb sa dard hone lagta hai..when the flight arrives and depart...kafi log kehte hain..ears mein ear bud dalne se dard nahi hota..lekin sub galat hai...kuch bhi kar lo...dard hona hai...

aur aapka...

In december.. jab hum gae the pakistan...humne saara samaan book karwa lia tha and stuff...uper beth ke intezar kar rahe the flight ka..to airport walo ne alaan kia ke Munir ki family wapis ae ...in their office...haha..then mum n dad went downstairs.. then they sad ke we had something in our bag..humne khol kar dikhaya to woh oil ki bottle thi..to pochne lag gae ke log wahan se yahan oil laate hain hum idher se pak le kar kio ja rahe hain

then mum said ke wahan mehnga bohat hota hai olive oil ..islie idher se le kar ja rahe hain

aur jab hum lahore pohnche...to woh security wale jo check karte hain ...they opened our suitcases and asked abt EVERYTHING ...wat is dis..wat is dat..blabla..maine kaha yeh humari books hain...to eik ne woh kitaab pakar kar usse parhne ki try kar raha tha..lolz..maine kaha yeh aapko samajh me nai aegi...its in norwegian..haahaa...phir baad me poochne laga ke aap log kahan se hain aur waghera waghea..to pappa nee kaha from norway..woh to hathne ka naam hi nai le rahe the:..har bag khol kar dekh rahe the

pappa ne eik ko 500 kr de dia to dosre ko kehne laga thik hai sab kuch jaane dijiye inko

aur jab hum bahir nikle lahore aiport se..to woh coolie agae...humne khud pakre howe the apne suitcases and bags..leiken 2 coolie ae aur humse bags pakar lie

Home, finally. PIA (other than some improvements in it's staff) still sucks.
