Karachi to Toronto Airline options

[leo68]

I am planning to visit Canada next month, already got the visa.
Which airline should I travel, both economy and comfort-vise with one stopover in Europe.
Please exclude PIA as it is non stop flight and I dread the idea of sitting for 13-14 hours straight.

Try Emirates, Qatar, Etihad

All these will still stay in air for 13 to 14 Hours from Dubai, Doha and AbuDhabi respectively to Toronto

None of the airline mentioned have stopover in Europe?

PIA is the best, in one stretch every thing is done. that's how I like to travel.

I hate stop-over flights.
This is how I plan my Mother's travels;
Either from Lahore or Islamabad- OSLO, about 8 hours straight.
I always get her a seat in Business class, while going from Pakistan.

On the way back, she uses Economy class, since there's less hassle and the plane is hardly full. So, she just camps in a 3 seat row and well...Zzzzz.
And, Business class in PIA is very comfy, not as comfy as Etihad, Qatar or Emirates, but close.

Cost difference= 15,000-25,000. ( For Oslo Trips, Toronto trips will be more expensive ).
So, depart in Business class and return in Economy or Business.
You get PIA Award points as well, so after 2-3 trips, you can either upgrade to Business, bring extra luggage or get a free ticket.
Enjoy your trip!

I have always travelled in PIA between Karachi-Toronto. The duration is 14.5 hours but the flight has always been good. If you go off season, you can easily lie down the entire flight on 3 seats.
If you want to travel through Europe, you can try Turkish Airline. Their service too is very good.
Otherwise there is an option to travel through western Europe as well but I believe you would have to transit through at least 2 airports.

Please provide the exact dates (departure and return) and airports of Origin and Destination. Secondly, for a stop over in Europe, for some cases you need to have visa of that particular country as well.

Provide me the required info and I will give you the reasonable itineraries.

Try route of Karachi to Turkey through Turkish Airways, then stopover in Istanbul, and you can take Air Canada from Istanbul to Toronto. Before your travel try to see if you can get a temporary permit for Istanbul and see timings of your stopover then you can schedule with "TOUR ISTANBUL" , its a 6 to 12 hr service in which you will go over all places of Istanbul in a tour bus with all expenses paid.

There are luggage lockers on the airport- It won't cost you much.
And, if you're flight is a connecting one, I don't think you need to worry about your luggage. Enjoy, Torkii

You will get your luggage directly in Toronto, don't worry about it. This service is not for everyone it's just for people who have connections from Istanbul.

That's interesting, I have just gone through the webiste for tour istanbul. Suggestion please with due appology to poster, reviews about Turkish airlines

[leo68]

Why Air Canada? Why not Turkish Airways from Istanbul to Toronto and secondly a journey break of say 2-3 days in Istanbul will have any effect on ticket price?
