Description
Pakistan International Airlines has one of the most controversial reputations in aviation — from safety bans to “worst airline” lists. But after nearly six years, PIA is back in the UK, relaunching direct flights from Islamabad to Manchester.
So what’s it really like to fly them today?
Join Medha Imam and Nicky Kelvin as they put PIA to the test on a 9-hour Boeing 777 flight, comparing Economy vs Executive Economy and diving into the airline’s past, present, and comeback. Is PIA still as bad as its reputation — or has it been misunderstood all along? #PIA #pakistaninternationalairlines #boeing777 #FlightReview
