THis is the worst airline I have ever flown with. On the outward flight, the cabin lights didn't work so we spent the first 45 minutes in complete darkness. The entertainment system was not working, so there were no safety announcments. No pillows or blankets were provided. Our overhead lights didn't work. At least on the return flight there were lights, but still no in-flight entertainment. I would never use PIA again and would not advise anyone else to use it either because it isn't as if it is a cheap option.

NEVER EVER AGAIN!!! the planes are extremely cramped and were not clean as there were crumbs on seats. it was like sitting in a bus from the 1960's. There is no inflight entertainment, I assume for an airline to have this facility they have to subscribe to it and therefore pay, which this airline has no intention of doing. the cabin crew admitted to not having had this facility for several months. an hour into the flight we were given an inedible meal This was then immediately cleared away and the lights were dimmed to encourage passengers to sleep - in other words don't bother the cabin crew. conveniently for them the crew assist lights were not working! the crew were not seen for a few hours, passengers were having to go to the service areas to help themselves to drinking water, ensuring the isles were jam packed at all times. breakfast was served around six in the morning - this consisted of 2 small croissants. when a passenger asked if this was all, a crew member replied "no the rest is coming later", then turned and laughed about it looking on their web site I don't understand how they can still continue to falsely advertise entertainment and fictional menu. if you want comfort, service and entertainment whilst traveling avoid PIA

PIA flight was suppose to depart today at 8pm from Birmingham to Islamabad . Passengers boarded the plane 30mins beforehand . At 10pm the flight still hadn't taken off ( four passengers asked to be taken off the flight hence delays). My mother whose diabetic requested food but like other passengers was refused until the plane had taken off . One passenger even said they were feeling unwell and needed food , were still refused . they only provided drinks . I was so upset , I rang Pia head office and the member of staff who picked up the phone couldn't even understand why there was an issue in the airline staff not serving food . PIA do not understand they owe a duty of care to their customers , should be banned from the UK .

*6 hour delay from lahore to manchester 19/10/14. *Food substandard - I'd rather eat my own shoe! *Cleanliness and hygiene, non-existent. *Cabin crew - just come for ride really, they have no appetite for customer care *Inflight entertainment - broken *The only plus side is, that it is a direct flight. (add the delays and Emirates, Etihad & even Qatar airline get you there quicker, with an excellent customer care, food that makes you want to have some more.

Flying to Pakistan on PIA is like taking yourself to hell purposely!! Their prices are so high but their planes are pathetic, unclean, ripped seats, no air conditioning. No working TV so now they expect us to pay 800 pound only to sit on those uncomfortable, ripped cold sseatd for 8 hours and do what nothing!! I wonder what they do with all the money we give them! The staff are very rude and arrogant! They need more training! I don't even want to talk about the toilets! If it weren't for a few helpful and nice passengers on board then my friend would have been locked I'm that toilet for the rest on the flight and the staff couldnt care less! They need new planes and more staff training!

The "In flight Entertainment System" was not working for me and many others on the plane. I raised this with the staff who were far from happy to help and very rude. Its the first time in many years that we have chosen to fly with PIA on the recommendation of our travel agent that the airline and service was much better now than in the past. From this experience we don't feel that PIA has moves forward but still in shadows of even the no frills airlines out there today. We feel that we have been let down by the airline and to travel 8 hours without any entertainment is totally unacceptable. Even more so when the staff did nothing to change to a seat that had a functional system.

Hi all, I don't know what to write but just wanted to let other people know, how this airline treats their passengers. My father passed away on PIA airline, he was coming back from his holidays from Pakistan to Birmingham. PIA's staff couldn't help him, as he needed extra oxygen they didn't care about him. He was alone. I will never forgive these people and never fly with them, since then I have tired contacting them on many occasions but they answer the phone and when I tell them my situations the phone get discounted, as they know. They in fault, their cabin crews are not trained first aid and how don't know what to do in case of an emergency, I hate this Airline and will do forever. May be the hate word is too small for them as I lost my world. They pay and get the jobs in airline. That's why they don't know nothing. Before my father's death I applied to work with them I thought they are good and my own international airline and I will serve them and make them better. As I am trained cabin crew myself. But after this incident they have killed my dream job as cabin crew...... They word HATE I can say.

Ignorant staff,appalling seats,untouchable food,inflight entertainment not working,nothing good about it. 10 min argument before we boarded some lady had a mishap with her seat customer services did not do anything Everything about is CR AP. A man in a wheelchair needed the toilet nobody helped he had to hold it in until the 5th time he said he needed to Gothenburg they helped!!! Worst people to fly with Emirates is awesome food and hygiene great use them. Forget pia!!!

I have travelled with your PIA airlines twice in the past 4 months, I must have to say your service is appalling, your aeroplanes out of date awful, your food is absolutely disgusting , cleanliness atrocious, some screens not working lack of inflight movies , toilets revolting, stewards unpleasant, flight delays poor service customers treated with disregard THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT PIA AIRLINES I will definitely not fly with you again and not recommend you in the future. Due to the delays I had experienced, Its far quicker travelling with Emirates ,Qatar or Etihad. Emirates is the best way to travel to Pakistan food and service is absolutely amazing. YOU ARE THE MOST DISAPPOINTING AIRLINE ! Zameera Khan

Pia staff are the most stuck up ignorant people I have ever met who just think they know it all and make feel like who are you ?what happened to customer is always right

We travelled from Multan to Birmingham via Islamabad. on 2.01.2014. The service provided by ground staff and transfer desk was some thing to be desired for. They ground staff looks a bunch of confused ignorant non professionals. It seems the whole purpose of transfer desk is to create chaos and problems for the passengers. If this airline wants to survive in the current business climate it need to train its staff in customer care.

Im from london and expected PIA to have some consideration for their paying customers, but I could not be more wrong!! I booked a flight departing from heathrow airport to karachi departing on the 2nd November 2013 and returning on the 20th November 2013 as a direct flight. I ignored most of the poor service and quality as I wanted a direct flight to and from karachi. The staff could not converse in english the food was poor the service was tired and extremely lacking, no I. Flight entertainment even though every seat had monitors, I was just thankful the flight reached karachi and thought the worst was over. Upon my confirmed return seat booking I returned to the airport to find that the direct flight to london was cancelled and the airline had not made any announcements to this fact. The check-in staff handed me two tickets and said your flight is now via islamabad airport and did not even try to apologise, when I stated my flight was a direct flight they rudely stated take it or leave it and pushed me aside. Needless to say the shambles did not stop there! The flight was delayed by 4 hours, upon reaching islamabad the airport staff behaved in typical fashion bullying their paying customers into a crowded flight off to london heathrow. I usually fly with other carriers and thought PIA had sorted out their act! I will never fly with such a mis managed hapless sorry excuse for an international airline again and recommend anyone to think very hard for any reason to use this airline again.
