From Karachi you will find a mix of full service and low cost carriers serving Gulf hubs, South Asia, and seasonal religious travel. Full service airlines generally include a checked bag and meal on many fares, while low cost carriers tend to unbundle extras such as baggage and seat selection. If schedules do not line up for a traditional through ticket, Kiwi.com’s self transfer approach, also known as Virtual Interlining, can combine separate airlines into a single itinerary so you can reach places not offered as a single ticket by carriers. For extra reassurance on these kinds of trips, the Kiwi.com Guarantee adds Automatic check in, 24 or 7 instant chat support, and Disruption Protection if carrier changes affect your itinerary. You can read how it works in detail in our Disruption Protection article. Airline lineups and terminal allocations are subject to change, so always review the latest details during booking and before you go.

Connecting smart with Virtual Interlining

By combining different airlines, travelers open up routes and savings not offered by single carriers, and can rely on the Kiwi.com Guarantee for peace of mind.
