thats good but i'm just letting you know . Most locals in China don't buy from places like Yashow or silk street .it's more of a tourist shopping mall .

Emirates: I have travelled on Emirates quite a lot. One back in 2000 from LHR to Heathrow via Dubai and other three times in 2013 from Pak to Canada and vice versa. In my opnion, there service is excellent and top notch. The staff is friendly, the ambiance is good and the overall journey is quite comfortable. Would definitely recommend their service. 8/10

Saudi Airlines:
I don't know why I was scared of this particular airline but it turned out great. Travelled to and from Saudi Arabia in 2012 and the journey was pretty nice. The food was good, staff was friendly and the plane was good. Their business class was not that great compared to Emirates but it was good none the less.7/10

Gulf Airlines:
Travelled on this airline in 2003 from LHR to London. The plane was rickety and in bad shape. Although the staff was good, their food service was really poor and the crowd travelling on the plane made everything worse. Not really that great. 5/10

Virgin Atlantic:
Travelled on this airline in 2000 from London to USA and man was this airline awesome. Everything related to air travel like food, staff, planes, the atmosphere was near perfect on this airline. In my honest opinion, this is the best airline till date on which I have travelled. Awesome stuff. 9/10

PIA:
Do I really need to explain the service of this particular airline company? Pathetic service and pathetic planes. Highly uncomfortable seats and shitty schedules. Its a miracle that this airline company is still in service. Travelled from London to Pakistan in 2003 and from Toronto to Lahore in 2014. I am not so sure how their domestic service is but international sucks. 2/10

Fly Dubai sometimes have special offers like 40kg baggage allowance to Karachi for economy class. I must say it is an excellent airline. Who needs food anyways on an hour flight( after you have settled in) between Karachi and Dubai

Those who complain about food , I for one prior to my flight in all airlines select seafood on the menu. Always provided a grilled salmon which in every airline has been awesome. I disagree with all those having bad food experiences .

I'd love to use FlyDubai but they don't come to Islamabad and I don't want to go to Karachi, I might have a chance to try it in December! Dubai - Doha flight is only 30 minutes long anyway. I'll just eat at the airport.

Emirates............(9/10) went to Bahrain from Dubai and back as well. Airplane was Airbus A330, friendly staff, comfortable seats, plenty of options to watch on IFE, however the food was bad, like really bad. Everyone left it, so on my return flight I didn't even bothered to eat. Maybe on some other flight I can get some nice meal. Have travelled quite a lot from Dubai to Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad as I get free tickets :D On these sectors they use Boeing 777 plane. Very clean and comfortable. Love their new widescreen IFE screens. M a trance music fan so I just plug in my Beats Studio headphones and listen to those numerous podcasts. Now nearly all Emirates plane are equipped with Live TV, Mobile Phone Coverage and even in flight Wi-Fi :D However food still sucks! :/

PIA.............(7/10) travelled quite a lot on PIA during early 00's on the Karachi to Peshawar route. Boeing 737 is mostly used here, average comfort level, no option for IFE, average food, ok staff, I haven't encountered any rude aunty for which PIA is famous for. Also got a chance to sit on their Boeing 777 on Karachi to Lahore route, this plane was going further to Manchester so it was an international flight actually. Way better than their domestic routes, at least some option on IFE, food was nice as well. However keep in mind that these reviews are before their downfall, after their downfall after Musharraf era I didnt even thought abt travelling on PIA

Shaheen..............(6/10) only travelled once on Lahore to Dubai route. Airplane was Airbus A330. No option for IFE, average food, but the staff was hubbba hubba the mostly labor class went all gaga over them :p comfort level is OK as well. But i've heard that on their domestic routes they use Airbus A320 which has a bad comfort level. Travelled again on KHI-LHE route on their Boeing 737, average plane with average service. The food was good though!

Air Blue................(5/10) my preferred airline for the Lahore to Karachi route, travelled so many times now, also travelled twice on Lahore to Dubai route. Initially their service was good, food was nice, staff was friendly, hardly 3 or 4 channels on IFE but at least it was something. Airplane mostly was Airbus A320 which is a narrowbody plane and not comfortable at all. But now their service is going down the drain, they dont even provide proper meal on domestic flights now, just a keemay wala roll is handed over without any tray. All options for IFE are gone, staff looks tired, in fact one air hostess opened up to me and started complaining abt her long work hours and how bad she is missing her home and want to shop for mehendi and bangles (as it was Eid time). Heck they have leased 3 airplanes from a Ukranian airline called Wind Rose which has Ukranian crew members and their planes are even worse.

As my friend puts it, is se acha banda Daewoo mai travel kar le :p
PIA has also borrowed aeroplanes on a 'wet lease', complete with foreign crew. Things aren't looking bright as far as our aviation companies are concerned.

From leasing planes to Emirates to becoming a white elephant, PIA has nose-dived from its glory days.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
