Summer Vacation Flights: Pakistan Guide

Summer is a busy travel season for Pakistan. Families take school holidays, overseas Pakistanis visit, and many people head to the northern areas to escape the heat. Fares rise and flights fill, so book early.

Demand patterns

• Diaspora visits: flights from the UK, North America and the Gulf are busy through the summer.
• Domestic tourism: flights to Skardu, Gilgit and Chitral are popular, but they are weather-sensitive; see why northern flights cancel.
• Weather in the plains: heat, dust and monsoon storms can cause delays; see weather and flights.

Booking tips

• Book early, especially for July and August.
• Be flexible about dates and airports.
• Allow spare days for northern trips.
• Check change and refund rules.
