Matrix Airfare Search - Why travel economy on PIA when you can Travel Business for almost the same p

[Liaqat Hussain]

Usually when people are travelling from Canada to Pakistan. They go through a travel agent because online most fligths to Pakistan are quite expensive.

My recent visit to Pakistan in economy class with a kid was horrible. Only I know how I spent 16 hours in flight.

This time I decided that as long I'm travelling with an infant, I will only travel in business class. Bigger seats, more space and that will make things much easier.

So while I was searching on google, I came across a software by google http://matrix.itasoftware.com (one on oct 17th cost $980)

Cost almost same as PIA Economy. The only down side is they make a stop in JFK. not a big deal for me.

I wanted to avoid PIA but Etihad is just way too expensive for business but their business class is much much better

PIA business class

Etihad business

Any of you guys have any better tips to share?

I travelled from Manchester to Islamabad on PIA with business class.. It was just a waste of money. Horrible experience... Emirates eeconomy was far better then PIA business class. Only difference was slightly bigger seats... I will still recommend you to keep an eye on online tickets
of major airline. Price changes everyday. I thought if you buy ticket little bit early you get some discount bit this is not a case with every airline. You should take just 15 min out of your busy life n search every other day with the same travel dates, you will find some huge difference. Some times big airlines offer some good deals but agents never pass it on passengers. Like few years ago I remember PIA offered buy one business class ticket and get second half price, which few agent didn't pass it on to the passenger. Only reason we used PIA because they are the only one who offer direct flight to Pakistan from uk, other then that I won't recommend PIA to anyone. I know it's bit harsh to say that... But come on guys, who is going to spend 635 per ticket when you can travel with emirate,etihad for only 515 and when specially you have family of four or six... 120 x 4 or 6 = yes you can do the math. :)

Canada to Pakistan. These are the cheapest rates. These rates are never heard of.
