From where in US?????
Most middle eastern airlines (other than Gulf) fly directly from NY/NJ/Houston till Abu dhabi, Jeddah, Riyadh, Dubai and Doha and then you can take, Peshawar, ISB, LHE and KHI.
I came on etihad ten days back from Abu Dhabi-JFK . It surely was very nice.....
I have to stop over at London to meet someone. Also, I want to avoid middle eastern countries. This one time I had a long stay at Riyadh and the airport stuff was extremely rude and hardly anything was working over there.
