Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Ok, so Im going Khi in 2 weeks again after 2 years. Now, I know PIA is crap. Im ready for the boring flight. In my hand luggage, Im taking,

-PSP with 12 Games
-iPod
-Slimline PS2
-Digital Camera
-Mobile Phone
-Altec Lansing iPod Speakers

I will only be using 2 of these things on the plane, but the rest I dont trust to go in normal baggage coz I’ve heard alot of horror stories about things being stolen! But, what are the chances of somebody trying to steal my stuff on the actual plane? Im travelling by myself, so if I need to go toilet, I cant take all my bags with me!

Also, when the XRay machines pick up this stuff at the airport, the staff wont try anything funny will they.

Sorry if I sound Paranoid, but I cant afford to lose all this crap!

Bro, ik kaam karna, keep all these stuff in your hand bag. You will be happily whistling passing through the check points.

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Yeah, Im gonna keep them in my rucksack, no way Im risking it.

I just dont know what to do when I need to go to the bathroom!

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

shoday!

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Good idea!

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

You'll be fine. Don't worry too much. Unless you are incredibly unlucky, no one will touch your hand carry baggage when you visit the loo.

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

PIA is actually not a bad airline.

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Yes you are paranoid. :)

The airport staff shouldn't really be an issue at all, since you are carrying the stuff for your personal use and not doing business with it or something.

And on the flight you don't need to worry either. Just try not to create too much attention.

And yeah: I found PIA to be a quite good airline. I wouldn't say excellent, but quite good.

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Dude ,you People make me Sick and you call your self Pakistanii why even go there when you dont trust any pakistani ppl and no PIA is not a bad Airline Its a whole lot better then other Airlines i got advice for you my American Homieee :grumpy: so called Playa:mad: LEARN TO TRUST OTHER PPL specially ppl from pakistan they all are not bad people you are one of them don’ t think you live outside of Pakistan you and me are any better then them so please thik about it.:slight_smile:

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Carry your backpack with yourself. Matter fact dont even check in your heavy luggage. Be a true paki and carry that with yourself in the plane too. And when you have to answer the call of nature, take it all with you to the toilet. Thats the only way to prevent all those other uncivilized paki sons of itches from stealing your worthless crap.

Last time i went to the UK about 7 years ago my Sony discman along with 5 cd's were stolen right from my backpack @ gatwick airport.

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

never do i go to karachi airport without a sifarish for an airport personnel to accompany me till the boarding longue....

i do not feel comfortable about going thru it on my own....
plus it saves all the hassle of opening up ur luggage for narcotics check and then queueing up for half an hour at immigration....

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

I never had any problem at

1) Karachi airport - neither going to PK or leaving PK.
2) Lahore airport - neither going to PK or leaving PK.

Had a minor issue at ISB aiport once when I reached PK & that was with immigration people there, they just wanted to annoy me.

Just keep any eye on ur stuff as you do when u are in USA/Canada/Europe/other countries & blame no one. Pakis are not that bad, u are one.

:jhanda:

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Karachi airport is really good only had problem once when my mom has some books in a bag and they made her open it for no reason (I mean come on they are just books) but the staff was nice enough to close everything just as it had been (but that maybe becoz my mom yelled at them:cb: )

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Dude, Im from London, u ass clown.

I do trust people, but not 300+ people on a plane I dont know. You saying I should just leave my wallet and all my stuff on my seat when I got to the bathroom?

Id be the same if I was on a BA flight to America to visit you, “my homie”

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

Asslam oa likum.
Well guys, i believe there are some problems but the picture is not so horrible. By the way can any body claim any where safest and free of problems?/ probably nowhere.

LET`S TRY TO REPRESENT A GOOD PAKISTAN

Re: Security at Karachi Airport and a PIA Plane!

I kept all of these kind of cheap stuff in the luggage, except my notebook which i used during the flight. And I went to Pakistan after 10 yrs.
