*2024-10-20, version 4.1.1*

Today I share with you some of the unforgettable moments during a memorable journey with Pakistan International Airlines flight PK181. The flight was delayed by an hour but the PIA staff and food will be memorable especially. An additional parcel with a small parcel of Biryani made the trip even more enjoyable. The behavior of the staff as travelers and asking and serving each one after the bill was very nice. Finally a request to the authorities above to add some more aircraft to the PI fleet and keep its old traditions alive once again.

We are in 2026 but the app is still in 1980s Can’t sign up password creation is very difficult

### 1/5 — Worst

*2025-09-27, version 4.3.1*

First of all your boarding pass issuing staff should know how to issue seats to a family with kids second a worst behavior from your female flight attendants on PK754. They don’t know how to behave with passengers and how to deal with them. A very worst experience

### 1/5 — Error Bad Request

*2025-09-03, version 4.3.1*

After new update App not working to book from Toronto to Karachi error showing Bad Request

### 1/5 — Charged for a service that doesn't exist! No refund!

*2025-08-04, version 4.2.2*

I paid for VIP lounge access at Lahore Airport (Domestic Terminal) when flying to Karachi with PIA. Upon arrival, the staff informed me there was no PIA VIP lounge available. The PIA Station Manager in Lahore even confirmed via email that I should be refunded, but the money was never returned. Disappointing service and a poorly managed app. Avoid!

### 1/5 — Worst experience-boarding counter crew lead

*2025-04-05, version 4.2.1*

I had a very disappointing experience with the PIA airline counter boarding staff supervisor. The behavior of staff supervisor was really unprofessional. Flight PIA 230 muscat to Lahore. 
5th April 25

### 1/5 — Disappointing App

*2025-02-13, version 4.1.1*

Tried paying for additional services without success. The app kept generating error. The ONLY option to pay is by credit card, no Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal; so your options are extremely limited. So I will head to the airport without paying for additional baggage or payment for the lounge through this App. Didn’t work for me.

### 1/5 — Bad Pakistan bad airlines

*2024-07-16, version 4.1.1*

National Airline always improved service quality i love it after trying other airlines we must value it …

### 5/5 — Good app overall

*2023-12-07, version 4.0.0*

I live in UK and whenever I travel to Pakistan I have always used PIA booking domestic flights through this app. It is easy to use & does all what you really need. I am not sure what others are complaining about but for me it does a great job

### 5/5 — Best airline

PIA is the best airline. Good service and cooperative staffs. Well trained and professional crew. My 20 years experience traveling to many countries with PIA is great and no complain. I recommend you whenever you want to travel PIA is the best choice .
