I have been to a travelin agencey…
She gave me some brochures of different countries..I noticed one thing…
Travelin in Pakistan is really xpensive instead of other countries…why? any idea?
Re: Why! travellin to Pakistan is costly instead of other countires?
Its economies of scale. A lot of people travel to and from north America and Europe and it is economical for airlines to offer lower fares for those destinations.

Limited number of flights, and no competition makes it a stiff deal.

Re: Why! travellin to Pakistan is costly instead of other countires?
Interestingly I was just discussing the topic with someone yesterday.
Many reasons are unknown but few known are:
1-People only travel during holidays mainly of kids. Off season flights are not full and on season seats are limited.
2- Very few people besides Pakistani travel with Pakistani airlines.
3-Other airlines do not see compelling reasons to cater Pakistani travellers since they are so few anyway.
4-Many Pakistani specially with family prefer travelling with Pakistani carrier having senior citizens or little kids.
5- Pakistani carrier does not see a reason to cater few Non-Pakistani since in order to provide services to them changes need to be made in food items and beverages service etc.
