Emirates is ok and you can stopover in Dubai if you dont wanto fly direct...Qatar airways is really good too, stopover in Doha but you will have to get connections through London...honestly i've flow PIA direct from toronto to islamabad (and I think you can now fly to Lahore as well) and I found it better than getting a connection if you don't wanto actually stopover and stay in dubai or some other city...the time goes by much quicker and the planes are new and pretty nice...just my opinion...
